     Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.

However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, "There

are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and

girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they've been brought up to think of these subjects as boys'' territory".

     Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report

suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports' authors

says, "While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are 'hope-less' at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which

are as good as the boys', they have not been encouraged to do so."

     The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as

early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged to work on

their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to

'help' with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in

life. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied

answers; they had to find out for themselves.

A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls.

Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at

mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work

harder in these subjects, gives them confidence  and makes them believe that they can succeed.    

      Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such 'male' subjects like mathematics and science as

difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but

for social reasons.

     Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are

less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do

they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.
