if you really want to increase your wealth, get married and stay married. on the other hand, divorce can destroy your wealth, said jay zagorsky, author of the study. married people will see an increase in wealth that is more than just adding the assets of two single people, ac-cording to the study published in the journal of sociology. those who remained together saw a 93 percent gain in wealth compared to that of a single person, while individuals facing divorce saw their financial situation worsen long before they finally divorced, according to zagorsky. the study used data from surveys taken over a 15-year period involving 9,055 americans who were between 21 and 28 years old in 1985. those who remained single had a steady, but slow growth in wealth, from less than $2,000 at the start of the surveys up to an average of about $11,000 after 15 years. however, those who married and stayed that way showed a sharp increase in wealth after marriage, growing to an average $43,000 by the 10th year of marriage or by about 16 percent a year. for people who married and then divorced, there was a slow build-up of wealth during the early years of marriage and then a steady decrease about four years before divorce. the study also showed doubt about a common idea that divorce was much harder financially on women than on men. in fact, it showed that women suffered

differences between boys and girls in school. lately that discussion has centered on concerns that boys are not doing as well as girls. the newspaper education week noted that, in some ways, what people are worried about now is not really new. boys have scored lower than girls on tests in the national assessment of educational progress since at least 1971. and the differences are not limited to the united states. education week noted the results of an international reading test in 2003. 15-year-olds took the test in 41 countries. girls scored higher than boys in almost every country. differences between males and females are a continuing issue of fierce debate. cultural and economic influences play an important part. but recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brain. these include differences in learning rates. as a result, some researchers say, boys may not be able to develop language and reading skills as well as girls do. in the past, there was a lot of concern about girls not doing well in school, especially in math and science classes. efforts to improve the situation for girls included hiring more female teachers. yet some people think the opposite situation exists now. they say not enough male teachers is one reason why _. another explanation being heard involves the increased testing in american schools. some people say schools are preparing for these important tests by forcing boys to sit quietly at their desks. they say this is unfair. still others say that society is failing boys by giving them the message that studying is not manly. 66. what is the best title of the passage? (please answer within 10 words.)67. which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? according to recent findings, the ability of boys to develop language and reading skills is not as good as girls.68. please fill in the blank in the 4th paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (please answer within 10 words.)69. in your opinion, which of the reasons why boys arent doing as well as girls is the most important one? what should we do to improve the situation?
