2、二、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Condoms Stirring College Campuses Handing out free condoms is quite common in many foreign universities, but the small condom vendors on Chinese college campuses have aroused heated debates. Managerial personnel at universities worry that those little boxes will
3、 trigger more sexual activity, while students argue that college authorities should not treat them like children. One day in mid-April, a student cafeteria in Tianjins Nankai University was bustling with unusual excitement over a new vending machine. Though seemingly ordinary, the vending machine gr
4、abbed students attention. While most female students hurried away after glancing at it, male students gathered in small groups in the vicinity, whispering about it. Some even went forward to have a closer look and then told their fellow students, laughing, “There really are some in it. “ It was a co
5、ndom vending machine, and condoms were the “some“ the students talked about. This scene has also happened on other college campuses. In July 1999, the Shanghai Jiaotong University installed a similar machine on the second floor of its clinic. One month later, condom vending machines appeared at Tsin
6、ghua University in Beijing, and at the end of October, they appeared on the campus of the Anhui University. In early March of this year, a sex-related health-care products shop opened in the student living quarters at the Wuhan Engineering University, the first of its kind in institutions of higher

The first 200 vending machines were installed in various
9、 communities and were well received by local residents. In only half a years time, more than 60,000 condoms were sold. Encouraged by these results, the committee decided to introduce the practice in a larger area. It first thought of college students, a significant component of society. According to
10、 statistics, more than 50 percent of the AIDS sufferers in China are aged between 20 and 29. Therefore, the committee intended to put the condom vending machines on college campuses. This idea was rejected by the Shanghai Teachers University. Wang Qun, an official of the university in charge of stud
11、ent management, is a strong opponent. “No leader or department in our university is ready to accept putting a condom vending machine somewhere on campus,“ she says, asking, “ If something happens as a result of this, who will bear the responsibility?“ In contrast, the Shanghai Jiaotong University de
12、cided to accept the condom machines and installed one in the university clinic. According to Shu Peili, Deputy Director of the universitys womens committee, Jiaotong University is a model unit for family planning in Shanghai. “It is our duty to offer safe, healthy and hygienic contraceptive devices

Whether or not and how much college students need condoms is the focus of the debate over whether or not to put condom vending machines on campus.

Everything that happens in society takes place on college campuses, he says, and it is urgent to provide sex education among college students. With society becoming more and more open, the fact that college campuses house sexual acti

Given this, the official thinks the better road is to provide positive directions. “If something happens before preventive measures are available, it will cause greater problems, including physiological and psychological harm.“ W
17、ang Qun thinks the opposite. “There is no need to install condom machines on campus. Its true that some students have gone a bit too far sexually, but they are isolated cases. “ The survey made by the Shanghai Jiaotong University indicates that the users of condom vending machines include members of
18、 the teaching staff, students and off-campus visitors. “Its normal to have sex,“ says a female Shanghai college student. She argues that sexual relationships meet basic needs of any normal person when he or she reaches a certain age, saying, “ Many of us college students are over In early March of t

We are not as young as our parents think we are. We should be allowed to do what we want to do. “ “ Though rare, sexual behavior exists among
32、 college students,“ notes a male sophomore in the Political Science Department of the Nankai University. Its natural for them to use condoms, he believes, and nothing to be ashamed of. Liu Dalin is a scholar engaged in cultural research. He believes that college students sexual desires are stronger
33、today than in the past. Several years ago, he conducted a survey on premarital sex among 20,000 college students. The survey found that 10 percent of the male students had sex before marriage. “This rate has obviously been rising in recent years,“ Liu says. He notes that members of the younger gener

Improved living standards and better nutrition account heavily for this, while the influence of different cultures disseminated thr

Earlier maturation in sex-related psychology inevitably leads to earlier sexual needs, a phenomenon commonly found in many countries and regions during their development. “Its a good thing,“ says Liu. “How could it be good for impoverished boys w

37、should be available. “ However, this practice has met strong opposition from Shanghai residents. Most of them are afraid that condom machines will produce negative effects on students. （分数：71.00）(1).Some students may also worry that handing out free condoms will stimulate more sexual activity.（分数：7.
