24、obal Gross Domestic Product would increase by 28 trillion dollars by 2025. Thats about a quarter of the worlds current GDP, and almost half of the worlds current debt,” said U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Womens Issues Catherine Russell in a recent speech.

25、d that countries with less gender inequality are more secure, and peace 32 last longer when women are at the negotiating table.”Nonetheless, no country in the world can 33 that it has achieved full gender equality.“Around the world, women are vastly 34 in politics and the workforce, particularly in

26、leadership positions and other high-paying jobs,” said Ambassador Russell. At the same time, women make up the majority of the poor. “Ive heard people say that poverty has a 35 face, and that makes sense when you consider that women control just one-fifth of global wealth,” said Ambassador Russell.-

27、 6 -World leaders are beginning to recognize that everyone benefits from 36 gender equality, she said. This is why gender equality is part of U.S. foreign policy.

29、ality sometimes looks like an impossible task a 39 without an end,” said Ambassador Russell. “But.we can make progress, and that progress is worth making. Little by little, discussion by discussion, step by step, we can improve the lives of women and girls, men and boys all around the world. And in

30、doing so, we can reach our 40 goals of peace, prosperity, and security.”III.III.

32、tion（训练）each others observance of social norms, using methods ranging from _42_ forms of disapproval such as looking away when someone makes an inappropriate remark, to putting to death individuals for behavior considered abnormal or dangerous. The caning（鞭打）of American teenager Michael Fay in Singa

33、pore in 1994 brought wide media attention to _43_ differences in the application of punishment.

Whether he _45_ avoids vandalism（故意破坏公物）is unknown, but the

34、punishment did apparently lead to his avoidance of Singapore which he left promptly.The techniques societies use to maintain social control _46_ in part with the dangers and threats that confront them. The Gusii of Kenya, with a history of tribal warfare, face threats not only from outsiders but als

35、o from natural forces, including wild animals. Gusii parents tend to rely more on punishment and fear than on _47_ in conditioning appropriate social behavior in their children. Caning, food deprivation, and _48_ shelter and protection are common forms of punishment._49_, the Mixtecans of Juxtlahuac

36、a, Mexico, are a highly cohesive （有凝聚力）community, with little internal conflict, and social norms that encourage _50_. Their social patterns appear _51_, for the Mixtecans are dominated by the nearby Spanish Mexicans, who control the official government and many economic resources in their region. T

37、he Mixtecans do not generally impose fines or jail sentences or use physical punishment to prevent aggression. Social rejection is the most feared punishment, and social ties within the community are very strong, so responses that _52_ these ties are effective in maintaining social order.In the Unit

38、ed Sates, _53_ of social rejection was once a more powerful force in maintaining control over antisocial behavior, especially in small communities. Today, even imprisonment does not appear to be an adequate _54_ to many forms of crime, especially violent crime. Although one reason is the inconsisten

39、t application of punishment, another may be the fact that imprisonment no longer carries the _55_ shame it once had, so that prison is no longer as an effective punishment.41.
