  “Should there be separate classes for boys and girls?It might be a wise idea, because it is difficult to satisfy all tastes,”researchers at Leeds University in the UK last week said.

  According to their report, in Britain, boys want science lessons to be about weapons of mass destruction and the effects of chemical weapons, while girls prefer to learn how to keep fit or the meanings of their dreams.

  The study among 15-year-olds aimed to discover how science might be made more popular.The researchers, who contracted 1,200 English students, say“most did not like science as much as other subjects.”

  The difference in results has curriculum(课程)planners considering separate classes for each sex.“The responses show a strong interest among boys in destructive technologies,”say the researchers.“while girls, by contrast, ________ their own bodies.They want to know how to deal with eating disorders, and they are interested in how to beat cancer and how to keep fit.”The differences make teaching a mixed-gender class a very difficult job.

  There was, though, agreement on what boys and girl least want to learn.Both sexes were bored by the thought of studying the benefits and possible dangers of modern farming methods.Neither did they want to study“famous scientists and their lives”.
