    China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

    In recent years, theproportionof girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and after 2010, the percentage was over 50%.

    There are several reasons for this.

    Firstly, there are few differences between boys and girls in their intelligence (智力). That's to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

    Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

    Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls' education.

    India has a population of about 1. 32 billion. Its population is the second largest in the world. China has the largest population of about 1.37 billion. One out of six people on this planet live in India. Although, the crown(王冠) of the world's most populous(人口稠密的) country is on China's head for many years. India will take thepositionby 2030. With the population growth rate at 1.58%, India will have more than 1. 53 billion people by the end of 2030.

    Now more than 50% of India's population is below the age of 25 and over 65% below the age of 35. About 72.2% of the population lives in some 638, 000villages.

    Some of the reasons for India's quickly growing population are poverty, illiteracy(无知)，decrease in death rates and immigration(移民) from Bangladesh and Nepal. India started taking measures to stop the growth rate quite early. India had the “National Family Planning Programme” in 1952. It became the first country in the world to have a population policy. However, it failed to reach the final goal(目标).
