According to the book, boys today are failing to become men. Boys, it says, are becoming both physically and emotionally weak. In effect, they are becoming more girly! The three experts say the education system is to blame for this terrible change. They say todays boys have to sit still in classrooms all day. Most of their teachers are women. That means boy students dont have good role models in school. Apart from school education, popular culture has to shoulder the blame, too many male role models today, the experts say, are effeminate. Now, if you are a boy reading this, you shouldnt get too nervous. The book just talks about social changes in general. These changes have been happening all over the world, not just China. The world has become richer. As a result, the traditional roles of men and women have changed. We no longer live in primitive times. There is no need for men to protect their families from man-eating tigers. And women dont depend on men for money any longer. Most of them have their own jobs and careers. Becoming a man is a difficult process. It takes a long time. Perhaps your best role model is your father. From our fathers, we learn that a man should be honest and kind. He is responsible and hardworking. He faces difficulties bravely and doesnt complain or make excuses. Your father may not have big muscles. However, he does have a big heart. As long as there are good fathers, there is no need to worry about “saving” the boys. Word Bank emotionally情绪上，感情上 blame责备 primitive远古的 muscle肌肉 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1.
