China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.
Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.
Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.China Youth says that more and more ______.
| A．boys are clever than girls |

How much pocket money do you get from your parents every month? Maybe 200 yuan? But for Li Beibei, 30 yuan each month is enough. The only thing she buys is lunch—1.5 yuan each day. “Meat is too expensive for me,” said Li.

What are the limits(极限) of human body? The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.
How cold can you stand?
Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you’re unable to write your name. Even walking is very difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form(形成) opinions properly. By the time you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating.
Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues(纤维组织), killing all the cells.
How spicy can you eat?
There is capsaicin(辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you’re healthy enough, you can survive(存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat anything else for a few hours.
Limit: 5g capsaicin.
How fast can you run?
The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This gives an average(平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h.
Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner’s greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h.
Limit: 43.06km/h.
How loud is too loud?
The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB(分贝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa(卡拉卡托火山爆发) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km away.
Limit: 168 dB
