题目内容
5、Recently we had two reports about concerns over the progress of boys in the American education system．Some people say there is a crisis for boys．Others say there are problems for some boys．But they say the situation is not so much that boys are falling behind as girls are catching up with boys．
Today we examine changes that have taken place at the college level．Some people are worried about the situation for men while others praise areas of progress for women．
In 1970, women made up forty-two percent of college students in the United States．Now they are about fifty-six percent．
A recent report called “The Truth about Boys and Girls” included this information-but not as evidence of a crisis．Sara Mead, a policy analyst（分析家）at the research group Education Sector, wrote the report．She sees the situation this way： Yes, men are earning fewer four-year college degrees than women．But men are still earning more degrees than they had in the past, only at a slower growth rate than women．And, yes, more women than men are also earning master’s degrees．But men still earn more doctor degrees．These are the degrees needed to become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor．Besides, men hold more positions and earn more money on average than women do．
There are many explanations why males and females perform differently in their schooling．Some are based on recent brain research, but others centre on environment．Some people say boys now face a bad environment in American education．Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, wrote the book The War Against Boys．She says the lower percentage of men in college points to a serious problem in the education of American boys．

2．What percentage do the men make up in the college students in the USA now?
