The research, which fllwed 200 students fr fur years, fund that wmen cnsistently utperfrmed men in their studies even thugh they had started their curses with almst identical A-level grades.
An analysis f the results shwed that while 65 percent f female graduates were awarded, nly 35 percent f male graduates did as well. Girls are knwn t utperfrm bys at schl, but this research shwed that trend cntinued at university.
Fina Smith, wh led the research, said, “The research shws that the difference has smething t d with schls in general.”
“It als shws smething abut the inequality fr wrking wmen in terms f pay and prmtin. Wmen wrk harder at schl, harder at university, and d better at bth, but they still receive less pay.”
The research fund that female students were mre faithful, less likely t miss lectures, and mre likely t believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were als mre likely t ask fr and receive supprt frm their prfessrs.
Wmen were als mre likely t chse their universities because they liked the curses ffered.

Dr Smith said, “Mst wmen feel that getting gd grades is the mst imprtant part f university life. They believe that they need t wrk harder in rder t cmpete in the male-dminated (男性主导的) envirnment they will encunter at wrk. Gd grades are viewed as an ‘insurance plicy’ fr success. Men, n the ther hand, prefer ging ut and playing sprts t academic wrk.”
“This research shws hw imprtant it is t get all yung peple wrking hard and teach them the value f higher educatin,” he said.

3. A recent experiment held in Japan shws that it is almst impssible fr peple t walk exactly straight fr 60 metres. Tky University f Agriculture and Technlgy fund 20 healthy men and asked them t walk as straight as pssible t a target 60 metres away at nrmal speed. Each man had t walk n white paper fixed flat t the flr wearing wet clred scks. The ftprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line. Researchers fund that peple readjust the directin f walking every few secnds. The amunt f the winding differed frm subject t subject. This suggests that nne f us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because f a slight structural r functinal imbalance f ur limbs (四肢). Althugh we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed directin.
Eyesight helps us t crrect the directin f walking and leads us t the target. Yur ears als help yu walk. After turning arund a lt with yur eyes clsed, yu can hardly stand still, let alne walk straight.
It’s all because yur ears help yu balance. Inside yur inner ear there is a structure which cntains liquids. On the sides f the rgan are many tiny hair-like structures that mve arund as the liquid flws. When yu spin (旋转) the liquid inside als spins. The difference is that when yu stp, the liquid cntinues t spin fr a while. Dizziness is the result f these nerves in yur ear. When yu pen yur eyes, althugh yur eyesight tells yu t walk in a straight line, yur brain will trust yur ears mre, thus yu walk in a curved line.

A. the participants kept readjusting their directin f walking
B. all the participants had a gd sense f directin
C. the experiment was dne in different ways
