Scholars of the informnation society are divided over whether social inequality decreases or increases in an information-based society.However,

26、they generally agree with the idea that inequality in the information society is 36 different from that of an industrial society.As informatization progresses in society，the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well. It seems that the informnation society 37 the quantity of in

27、formation available to the members of a society by revolutionizing the ways of using and exchanging information. But such a view is a 38 analysis based on the quantity of information supplied by various forn1s of the mass media. A Different 39 is possible when the actual amount of information 40 by

28、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 generati

31、ld not require giving up pleasure. AWhen Jonathan Swift proposed， in 1729，that the people ofIreland eat their children， he insisted it would solve three problems at once: feed the hungry masses，reduce the population during a severe depression， and stimulate the restaurant business. Even as a satire

32、(讽刺)， it seems disgusting and shocking inAmerica with its child-centered culture. But actually， the country is closer to his proposal than you might think. BIf you spend much time with educators and policy makers， youll hear a lot of the following words: standards， results， skills， self-control， acc

33、ountability and so on. I have visited some of the newer supposedly effective schools， where children shout slogans in order to learn self-control or must stand behind their desk when they cant sit still. C A look at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when peopl

34、e think about education，they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child， or what makes childhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right. DIm a mother of three， a teacher， and a developmental psychologist. SoIve watched a lot of children-talking，playing，arguing,eating,s

35、tudying, and being young. Heres whatIve come to understand. The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance， nor their lack of skills.Its their enormous capacity for joy. Think of a 3-year-old lost in the pleasures of finding out what he can and cannot sink in the bathtub， a 5-

36、year-old beside herself with the thrill of putting together strings of nonsensical words with her best friends， or an ll-year-old completely absorbed in a fascinating comic strip. A childs ability to become deeply absorbed in something，and derive intense pleasure from that absorption， is something a

37、dults spend the rest of their lives trying to return to. E A friend told me the following story. One day， when he went to get his 7-year-old son from soccer practice， his kid greeted him with a downcast face and a sad voice. The coach had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills. The lit

38、tle boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down. He seemed wrapped in sadness. But just before he reached the car door， he suddenly stopped， crouching (蹲伏) down to peer at something on the sidewalk.His face went down lower and lower， and then， with complete joy he called ou

39、t， Dad. Come here. This is the strangest bugIve ever seen.It has， like， a million legs. Lok at this.”Its amazing. He looked up at his father， his features overflowing with energy and delight. Cant we stay here for just a minute? I want to find out what he does with all those legs.This is the coolest

40、 ever. F The traditional view of such moments is that they constitute a charming but irrelevant byproduct of youth-something to be pushed aside to make room for more important qualities， like perseverance (坚持不懈)， obligation， and practicality. Yet moments like this one are just the kind of intense ab

41、sorption and pleasure adults spend the rest of their lives seeking. Human lives are governed by the desire to experience joy. Becoming educated should not require giving up joy but rather lead to finding joy in new kinds of things: reading novels instead of playing with small figures， conducting exp

42、eriments instead of sinking cups in the bathtub， and debating serious issues rather than stringing together nonsense words， for example.In some cases， schools should help children find new，more grown-up ways of doing the same things that are constant sources of joy: making art， making friends， makin

43、g decisions.G Building on a childs ability to feel joy， rather than pushing it aside， wouldnt be that hard.It would just require a shift in the education worlds mindset (思维模式).Instead of trying to get children to work hard， why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful， productive act

44、ivity， like making things， working with others， exploring ideas， and solving problems? These focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight. H Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish， or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty， low

45、academic achievement， and high dropout rates， think again. The more horrible the school circumstances， the more inlportant pleasure is to achieving any educa- tional success. I Many of the assignments and rules teachers come up with， often because they are pressured by their administrators， treat pl

46、easure and joy as the enemies of competence and responsibility.The assump- tion is that children shouldnt chat in the classroom because it hinders hard work; instead， they should Ie缸n to delay gratification (快乐) so that they can pursue abstract goals， like going to college. J Not only is a boring an

47、d awful way to treat children， it makes no sense educationally. Decades of research have shown that in order to acquire skills and real knowledge in school， kids need to want to learn. You can force a child to stay in his or her seat， fill out a worksheet， or practice division. But you cant force th

48、e child to think carefully， eflioy books， digest complex information， or develop a taste for learning. To make that happen， you have to help the child fmd pleasure in learning-to see school as a source of joy. K Adults tend to talk about learning as if were medicine: unpleasant， but necessary and good for you.Why not instead think of learning as if it
