问题         Recent years have seen an increasing number of children becoming the victims of abuse. Fortunately, education on sex safety is now on the agenda in primary schools. However, the path to universal sex education is never smooth. The following article presents the current situation of sex education in China.
        Write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
        1. summarize briefly the main content;
        2. give your comment.
        China is making strides on sex education in schools, according to a noted sexologist in the country.
        "The Chinese government’s general attitude toward sexuality and sex education has been more and more open," said Li Yinhe, a leading sexologist in China and a fellow with the Institute of Sociology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. "When I was in Peking University back in 1988, I intended to open a course on the sociology of sex, but the university did not approve it." Li said. "But Renmin University later opened a similar course, lectured by Pan Suiming."
Pan, a well-known sexologist in China, is the founder and director of the Institute of Sexuality and Gender at Renmin University. He has run a series of courses on the sociology of sex since the 1980s, which are well received by college students. He said at the Institute of Sexuality and Gender that "sex education should be a part of the compulsory education".
        The panelists made some comparisons between sex education in the US and China. "Students cannot start to receive sex education after entering their adolescence, because all the compulsory education is ’advanced’," Pan said. "Also, sex education should be absolutely ’compulsory’, not only for students, but also for parents and government."
"Elementary sex education on students in the US begins from primary or secondary schools," Wang Zheng, associate professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan, told China Daily when asked about the differences in sex education between China and the US.
        In the US, primary schools teach students the reproductive process, gender differences, personal hygiene and sexual morality. Among secondary schools, students will learn more about sexual maturity as well as how to protect themselves from sexual harassment. "China should learn from the experiences from the US, and popularize sex education among primary and secondary schools," Wang said.
        Secondary schools have attached increasing importance to sex education. "Recently, the Ministry of Education of China released an official document, requiring experimental courses on sexuality among secondary schools," Li told China Daily.
        Wang said that there are obstacles China has to overcome in order to implement universal sex education, because sex education does not receive adequate attention and resources. However, Wang also shared with Li the same vision of future sex education in China, saying that "China has already begun to push forward the implementation of sex education."
        Starting in 2008, Zhang Meimei, director of the Sex Education Center at Beijing’s Capital Normal University, worked with the Municipal Commission of Education to conduct Beijing-based research on the syllabuses of sex education for primary and secondary schools. More than 50 primary schools in Beijing have opened experimental sex education courses, according to China Youth Daily.
        "Compared to the old generations in China, teenagers in the 21st century have more access to sexual knowledge," Li said. "The awareness of gender and sexuality has heightened to some extent, but not enough."

答案                                                                 Sex Education in Primary Schools Is an Inevitable Trend
        From the 1980s, the sexologists in China have been trying to develop sex education in universities. Nowadays Chinese government has taken a big step to popularize sex education, including but not limited to release official documents, and to open experimental sex education courses in more than 50 primary schools in Beijing. However, a lack of adequate attention and resources still hinders the development of sex education in China. We are still left far behind the US on sex education. We should learn from the US to start from primary schools rather than universities, and to get parents and government involved in, other than students only. Continuing efforts is needed because of the great importance and necessity of sex education.
        It is never too early to start sex education from primary schools as children are curious about sex from the age of three. It helps children to have correct view on sex and relationship, rather than gleaning distorted information from the internet, films and TV. With the convenient access to the internet today, children are increasingly exposed to sexually explicit material. Sexual imagery and swearing are everywhere. Rather than sweeping this under the carpet, it’s better to discuss it openly and frankly at primary school level. Moreover, there is an increasing number of news about child sexual abuse and teen pregnancies. Educating children on sex much earlier might also help prevent themselves from becoming the offender or victim of sexual crime, and sexually transmitted diseases. For girls, they would know how to say no to sexual harassment, such as sexting.
        From the above, decent and standardised education on sex from primary schools is much needed and is becoming an inevitable trend as it is the best protection we can give.
解析      材料围绕“中国的性教育”这一话题进行分析，可分为三部分。
     前三段介绍了中国性教育取得的进步。一方面，中国政府的态度越来越开放（government’s general attitude…more and more open）；另一方面，八十年代后的中国大学生也能很好地接受相关课程（well received by college students）。
     第四至六段对比了中美两国的性教育情况，主要有两方面的差异。一是学生开始接受性教育的时间不同，美国从中小学就开始设相关课程，而中国学生在进去青春期之前都没有接触过。二是教育的对象不同，美国的性教育不仅针对学生（students），而且还包括家长和政府（parents and government）。
     第七至十段指出中国性教育存在的问题，包括缺乏足够的重视和资源（adequate attention and resources）。虽然二十一世纪的青少年有更多的途径获取性知识，但性意识（The awareness of gender and sexuality）仍有待加强（has heightened…but not enough）。
