A recent poll by The New York Times shows that fewer and fewer people in the United States believe in the “American dream.” The poll asked the question: Do you believe you can start out poor in this country, work hard and become rich? Only 64 percent of Americans said “yes.”

Trust in the American dream may be disappearing. ____ halfway around the world, a new dream has been gaining strength – the Chinese dream.

President Xi said, “I believe that realizing the great revival(复兴) of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times.” The expression “Chinese dream” has since become President Xi Jinping' s political slogan. But, what is the Chinese dream? And how has President Xi started to make that dream a reality?

Xi' s Chinese dream has three key parts: strengthen China, improve prosperity（繁荣，昌盛）, and increase China' s military（军事的） power. In recent months, China has taken clear steps toward becoming stronger both domestically and globally.

For many Chinese citizens, it is not always easy to believe in the Chinese dream. Mr. Ernst says one major reason for this is the country' s severe pollution problem. “What is the most important thing you experience? Pollution. When you' re a young couple and you have kids, it' s not so easy to dream. Because you have to deal with very concrete（具体的） health concerns（顾虑）.”

The Chinese dream is not just for a richer and more powerful China, but a cleaner China. President Xi and the Chinese government know this. President Xi said, “Every day we will see a blue sky, green mountains and clear rivers, not just in Beijing, but all across China so that our children will live in an enjoyable environment.”

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, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, there is little difference 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.
