Scholars of the information society are divided over whether social inequality decreases or increases in an information-based society. However, they generally agree with the idea that inequality in the information society is_____(36)different from that of an industrial society. As informatization progress in society, the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well.
It seems that the information society_____(37)the quantity of information available to the members of a society by revolutionizing the ways of using and exchanging information. But such a view as a_____(38)analysis based on the quantity of information supplied by various forms of the mass media. A different_____(39)is possible when the actual amount of information_____(40)by the user is taken into account. In fact, the more information_____(41)throughout the entire society, the wider the gap becomes between "information haves" and "information have-nots," leading to digital divide.
According to recent studies, digital divide has been caused by three major_____(42): class, sex, and generation. In terms of class, digital divide exists among different types of workers and between the upper and middle classes and the lower class. With_____(43)to sex, digital divide exists between men and women.

In partnering with the private Global Technology Organization, the UN Office for Projects Services wants to reduce the gap separating nations with good technology from those without. "There are more Web sites originating here in New York than in all of Africa," said Reinhart Helmke, executive director of the UN agency. "There are more Web sites originating in Finland than in all of Latin America and the Caribbean." Helmke said the digital divide would be better described as a digital chasm. He said the global economy cannot be sustained if some countries are left out.
Neysan Rassekh, founder and president of Global Technology Organization, vowed to tackle the problem "country by country, town by town, citizen by citizen." The initiative carries no funding, however. The UN projects office, as a self-financing agency with a limited budget, will provide only management know-how: Rassekh's group, which organized the University of Pennsylvania group, plans to solicit(恳求) cash and equipment donations. For the Mall project, the university paid airfare and other expenses through fees that students pay to receive academic credit.
Eliminating the global divide won't be easy. Persuading foreign governments to buy computers instead of food can be tough, even though technology can reduce poverty and hunger in the long run, said Hafidh Chaibi, who promotes global access through the World of Knowledge Foundation in Orlando, Fla. Ernest Wilson, an international development specialist at the University of Maryland, said his research found information technology growing by 18 percent a year in developing countries, compared with 23 percent in industrialized nations. That means the gap continues to grow despite improvements through programs from the United Nations, the World Bank, the Markle Foundation and other organizations.
The UN announcement came as world leaders met at the UN Millennium Summit to discuss such challenges as peace, disarmament and access, to new technology. Over four weeks in May and June, the University of Pennsylvania volunteers set up four computer centers in Mall and trained 120 residents, mostly students and educators who could then teach others. Organizers are also setting up a Web site to help residents obtain information on education and health. The UN agency and its private partner plan to replicate that effort in 10 to 12 countries a year.
The "digital divide" as is used in the first passage refers to ______.
A．the gap in technology and wealth between poor and rich countries
B．inadequate training which technicians in poorer countries have received
C．the availability of computer and Internet technologies to different nations
D．the difference in the number of Web sites created in poor and rich countries
But after decades of hype, American offices may finally be losing their paper obsession. The demand for paper used to outstrip the growth of the US economy, but the past two or three years have seen a marked slowdown in sales—despite a healthy economic scene.
Analysts attribute the decline to such factors as advances in digital databases and communication systems. Escaping our craving for paper, however, will be anything but an easy affair.
"Old habits are hard to break," says Merilyn Dunn, a communications supplies director. "There are some functions that paper serves where a screen display doesn't work. Those functions are both its strength and its weakness. "
In the early to mid-90s, a booming economy and improved desktop printers helped boost paper sales by 6 to 7 percent each year. The convenience of desktop printing allowed office workers to indulge in printing anything and everything at very little effort or cost.
But now, the growth rate of paper sales in the United States is flattening by about half a percent each year. Between 2004 and 2005, Ms. Dunn says, plain white office paper will see less than a 4 percent growth rate, despite the strong overall economy. A primary reason for the change, says Dunn, is that for the first time ever, some 47 percent of the workforce entered the job market after computers had already been introduced to offices.
"We're finally seeing a reduction in the amount of paper being used per worker in the workplace," says John Maine, vice president of a pulp and paper economic consulting firm. "More information is being transmitted electronically, and more and more people are comfortable with the information residing only in electronic form. without printing multiple backups. "
In addition, Mr. Maine points to the lackluster employment market for white-collar workers—the primary driver of office paper consumption—for the shift in paper usage.
The real paradigm shift may be in the way paper is used. Since the advent of advanced and reliable office-network systems, data storage has moved away from paper archives. The secretarial art of "filing" is disappearing from job descriptions. Much of today's data may never leave its original digital format.
The changing attitudes toward paper have finally caught the attention of paper companies, says Richard Harper, a researcher at Microsoft. "All of a sudden, the paper industry has started thinking. 'We need to learn more about the behavioural aspects of paper use. '" he says. "They had never asked, they'd just assumed that 70 million sheets would be bought per year as a literal function of economic growth. "
To reduce paper use, some companies are working to combine digital and paper capabilities.
For example, Xerox Corp. is developing electronic paper: thin digital displays that respond to a stylus, like a pen on paper. Notations can be erased or saved digitally.
Another idea, intelligent paper, comes from Anoto Group. It would allow notations made with a stylus on a page printed with a special magnetic ink to simultaneously appear on a computer screen.
Even with such technological advances, the improved capabilities of digital storage continue to act against "paperlessness," argues Paul Saffo, a technology forecaster. In his prophetic and metaphorical 1989 essay, "The Electronic Pinata (彩罐)", he suggests that the increasing amounts of electronic data necessarily require more paper.
The information industry today is like a huge electronic pinata, composed of a thin paper crust surrounding an electronic core. " Mr. Saffo wrote. The growing paper crust "is most noticeab

C．It offers a cause for high-tech hubris.
