Question

In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women．Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else．At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men．In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women．As a result, some women’s colleges decided to accept men students, too．Others, however, refused to change．Now these schools are popular again． 　　The president of Trinity College in Washington, D．C．said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn．The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women’s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely．For example, she says that in a women’s college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women． 　　Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do．In a women’s college, women feel free to say what they think．Women’s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women．Women are represented everywhere．For example, at a women’s college every governing office is held by a woman．Recent studies reportedly show this leadership continues after college．The studies show that American women who went to women’s colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life． (1) Most of women’s colleges were established ________． [　　] A． to give women the education they could not receive anywhere else B． to separate women from men C． to offer women special chances for work D． to help women have more study opportunities (2) Some women’s colleges decided to accept men students because ________ [　　] A． teaching women is more difficult than teaching men B． many young women chose to study at colleges with both men and women C． study with men is more challenged D． women and men can have equal chances of competition (3) Why did women’s schools become popular again?
