Why are girls not as good at maths and science? Girls dont do as well at maths and science as boys. There are several reasons for this. The first and most important reason is that they arent encouraged to play with toys that build up interest in mat hs and science problems and that build skills for problem solving or understanding how things wor k. Girls are encouraged to play with toys that foster language and human relations skills. As a resu lt, they can grow up not knowing how an engine works or how to build a model from directions. Second, studies have shown that teachers dont expect girls to be good at maths. Even female m aths and science teachers pay more attention to boys in class and call on boys more often. Because teachers dont expect girls to excel, they dont try very hard, and soon girls are far behind boys in t hese studies. Finally, girls dont have many role models to look up to. Not very many maths and science teach ers are women, especially in the later grades. When the media picture mathematicians and scientist s, they usually picture men. As a result, girls arent inspired to choose these fields as careers. In summary, several factors work together in the home, in schools, and in society at large to se nd a subtle message to girls. Girls almost always get the message; as a result, few girls excel at ma ths and science. 有偿搭车 “上班族”借助网络发帖联络搭乘“顺风车”，这种出行方式 (trip mode, transportation) 最近 在北京、上海、深圳等一些大中型城市开始流行起来。一些网站还专门设立了相关的栏目， 北京出现了全国第一家顺风车专业门户网站， 有需求者只要将自己的出发地和目的地发布上 网，就会很容易获得理想的搭乘机会。除此之外，也有一些搭乘者是通过朋友介绍认识的。 与国外一些国家搭顺风车现象有所不同的是， 按事先约定， 国内的一些搭乘者会以现金或实 物的形式给车主一定的补偿，而一些车主也将省钱和挣钱作为提供便利的目的之一。 面对越来越多的汽车污染以及日渐严重的交通压力， “顺风车” 的出现无疑是件好事。但随 之而来的“有偿搭车”现象却引起了各方的不同看法。 对此持赞同意见的人认为应该提倡这种做法， 因为它既方便了乘车人， 也减轻了车主的经济 负担， 同时还能缓解城市交通压力； 反对的人则认为私家车收费搭乘他人， 严格意义上属于 非法营运， 由于它没有办理任何证件，干扰了正常的客运市场。政府应加以严格管理； 一些 保险公司相关人士还认为，一旦发生事故，保险公司有权拒赔，理由是营运车风险比较大， 同类型汽车的保险费收费标准，营运车辆要高于私家车。 1-中美两国生意人在商务沟通方式上的区别 I think there are at least two differences in the way of business communication b
