Unit 3 Gender Differences新编大学英语第二版第四册教案

it was not because teachers liked boys better, but because they think girls are afraid of losing face. I think teachers in China are fairer than those in the West. When I read ―Boys Are Teachers’ Pets‖ I was surprised. I never thought girls would be ignored even if they were good students. Perhaps some teachers prefer girls in primary school and boys in middle school. But, all in all, I think the top students are always teachers’ pets. Sample 2: Who Are Teachers’ Pets, Boys or Girls? To answer this question, we designed a questionnaire and gave it to 30 students. They just had to put a mark in the square that corresponded to their opinion. We then analyzed the results of our survey. The results of the survey are shown in the following table: Who are teachers’ pets? In primary school In junior middle school In senior middle school In college According to the results of the survey, we can see that in primary school girls are thought of as teachers’ pets. When they are very young, boys are naughtier than girls, and the latter are generally very well-behaved. As they get older, boys are more likely to be teachers’ pets. In middle school, boys perform better in subjects like math and physics. Boys are thought to be cleverer than girls. As teenagers, both girls and boys are well-behaved. Since boys are no longer naughty, it is easier for them to become teachers’ pets. Most students feel that neither boys nor girls become teachers’ pets in college. Teachers don’t know their students as well as teachers in junior or senior middle school, so they don’t have pets. According to the results of our survey, we can conclude that whether boys or girls are teachers’ pets depends on their age.
