Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared. Boys scored better in exams, so various measures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girl-only classes. Now, the situation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys.
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the association of head teachers of secondary schools, says that the academic failure of boys is a problem which has its roots in society rather than the classroom. Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job. On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado. They’re uncertain about their place in society. Some boys grow up in families where there is no male role model to follow.
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way from girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate deadlines rather than large projects stretching into the distance. And education is not seen as ’cool’.
As one contributor to a BBC website put it, "Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls."
This is not just a problem in Britain. In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and UNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries. The UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countries for reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries. Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries. [br] John Dunsford believes that girls out-perform boys because ______.

C
解析
根据“John Dunsford,leader of the association of head teachers of secondary schools,says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which has its roots in society rather than the classroom.Girls,more than boys,see education as a passport to a good job”可知应选C。男孩子学习成绩不好不是在学校的学习问题而是有其社会根源,女孩将教育当成获得好工作的护照。该句意为;女孩要想找到好工作,要靠学习(因此她们重视学习)。
