People usually think that boys are stronger, heavier and taller than girls. Maybe it"s true. Some people even think that boys are smarter than girls. Expert"s view: I can"t agree with them. If you say that girls learn faster than boys, you may be right, at least when it comes to young chimps(猩猩)using tools. People
found that girl chimps in Tanzania, East Africa, use sticks to find tasty insects(昆虫)two years earlier
than boy chimps. This is because young girl chimps watch their moms collect bugs, while the boy chimps climbtrees.But young boy chimps may hunt and throw(扔)sooner than girl chimps.It"s also true for humans. It"s easier for girls to learn to write and draw earlier, but boys often run and throw balls earlier than girls.
Teacher"s view: I think boys and girls both have their special advantages. Boys are good at sports. They are very athletic. But girls do well in performance. They are very calm.

highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the
largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.
Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee
jumping only lasts a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, 200 meters above the
ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber
band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.
Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life
has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and
look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

New York, London, Paris and other big cities are exciting places to live in. There are many interesting things to see and to do. You can go to different kinds of museums and theaters to see plays and films. You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world.But there are more serious problems in big cities, too. The cost of living is high and there are too many people in some parts of big cities. Every year many people move to the cities because there are more chances to find work, to study at good schools and to receive good medical care. But sometimes these people can’t find work or a good place to live in. Also too many people in such a small place make it hard to keep the cities safe and clean. Some people enjoy living in big cities, but others don’t. When people move to big cities, they should think about the problems of living there. | |||
