Sarnple Although fear of math is not a purely female phenomenon, girls tend to drop out of math sooner than boys. Why the differences in performance? One reason is the amount of math learned and used at play. Another may be the difference in male-female maturation. If girls do better than boys at all elementary school tasks, then they may compute better for no other reason than that arithmetic is part of the elementary curriculum. As boys and girls grow older, girls become, under pressure of the sex-role assigned by the society, academically less competitive. Exercises

Facing the worsening situation of our polluted rivers, we can't help but wondering where we can find our drinking water in the future. We have only one Earth,and we can not afford to lose it
