One of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower girls and invest in their education．Today，girls' lack of access to basic education is compounded when it comes to the use of digital technology，leaving them far behind boys．And because the world is ever more digital，those who lack basic internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to participate in the formal economy，to obtain a quality education，to access health care，information and psychosocial support，to have their voices heard．
    Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent．Worse yet，women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet．In developing countries，some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone，the most common means of Internet access there．This digital divide is increasing，and should it continue at the present pace，it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills．
    There are many causes for the digital gender gap．They include girls' exclusion from basic education writ large，from specific technology education and design，high costs of both devices and internet access，scarcity of content relevant for women and girls，and socio-cultural biases and discrimination，such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline．Indeed，one of the most insidious reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one：that girls are simply not adept at using technology．
    The United Nations has affirmed that human rights online are human rights offline．These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights．
    According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development，an independent，non-profit and non-governmental research organization，the gender digital divide is a major roadblock to women's economic empowerment and participation in the economy．Without a major increase of policy effort and investment，most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men，worsening gender inequality．
    In the words of USAID Senior Gender Coordinator Michelle Bekkering，a girl's future should be defined not by her sex，but by her commitment to hard work and ability to access the resources she needs to succeed．

  • 2．Muzak The next time you go into a bank，a store，or a supermarket，stop and listen．What do you hear？（1）
    ．It's similar to the music you listen to，but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing，but you react to the music anyway．
       Quiet background music used to be called "elevator （電梯） music" because we often heard it in elevators．But lately we hear it in more and more places，and it has a new name "Muzak"．About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" every day．The music plays for 15 minutes at a time，with short pauses in between．It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning，and between three and four in the afternoon，when people are more tired．（2）
    ．
       If you listen to Muzak carefully，you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs．Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak，but others are happy when their songs are chosen．Why？（3）
    ．
       Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel．It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do．Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background． （4）
    ．Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries．
       （5）
    ．They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time．But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places．They say it helps them relax and feel calm．One way or another，Muzak affects everyone．Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

    A．Some people don't like Muzak．
    B．The music gives them extra energy．
    C．Music is playing in the background．
    D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more．
    E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better．
    F．They get as much as＄4 million a year if their songs are used．
    G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world．
