Passage 5
In the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other without a formal authority!"
Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions. All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by life long familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indian’ s rate of social change was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders (which were considered rough), members of the tribes would a- rouse others to action by examples.
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society. Most of us have grown up under 6ne authority or another for as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our government all have the recognized fight under certain conditions to tell us what to do. The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it. We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
Of course, the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large. The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system. In modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.

"Much of the sickness and death attributed to the major communicable diseases is in fact caused by malnutrition which makes the body less able to withstand infections when they strike," said Dr Hiroshi Nakajima, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). "At the same time," he added, "in developing countries today, malnutrition is the cause of 174 million children under five years of age being (51) , and 230 million being stunted(阻碍)in their growth. Such (52) represent deprivation, suffering and wasted human potential (53) a scale that is unacceptable from every point of view. Whether we think in (54) of humanitarian concern, common justice or development needs, they demand a (55) , both from national governments and from the international community."
It is now (56) that 6.6 million out of the estimated 12.2 million deaths (57) among children under-five--or 54% of young child mortality in developing countries-is associated with malnutrition, In some (58) , such as sub-Saha-ran Africa and south Asia, stagnation(停滞)of nutritional improvement (59) with a rapid rise in population has resulted in an (60) increase in the total number of malnourished children. (61) , over two-thirds of the world’s malnourished children live in Asia (especially south Asia), followed by Africa and Latin America.
As Dr Nakajima noted, "The globalization of industry, trade, travel and communication has brought (62) it unprecedented possibilities for mutual cooperation in (63) hunger and malnutrition. At the same time, however, the acceptability of certain foods, and the cultural aspects of their production, distribution and preparation, are now recognized as (64) in the promotion of good nutrition. Without the attention (65) them, little progress can be made towards household food security, appropriate diets, the control of micronutrient(微量元素)deficiencies, the promotion of breast-feeding, and other strategies listed in the Plan of Action adopted in 1992 (at the International Conference on Nutrition in Rome)./

In the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes (部落) were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other without a formal authority!"
Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions. All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong (一生的) familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians’ rate of social change was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders (which were considered rough), members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.

? ?Some people say the international community is only a fiction. Others say it is too elastic a concept to have any real meaning. Some say there are no internationally recognized norms, goals or fears on which to base such a community. Oped pages refer routinely to the "so called" international community. I believe these skepties are wrong. The international community does exist. It has an address. It has achievements to its credit.
? ?When governments, urged along by civil society, come together to adopt a statute for the creation of an International Criminal Court, that is the international community at work for the rule of law. When we see an outpouring of international aid to the victims of earthquakes in Turkey and Greece, witch is the international community following its humanitarian impulse. When people come together to ress governments to relieve the world’s poorest countries from crushing debt burdens, that is the international community throwing its weight behind the cause of development. When the popular conscience, outraged at the carnage caused by land mines, obliges governments to adopt a convention banning those deadly weapons, that, too, is the international community in action.
? ?There are many more examples of the international community at work, from east Timor to Kosovo, but there are important caveats. Too often the international community fails to do what is needed. It failed to prevent the genocide in Rwanda. In East Timor, it acted too late to save many hundreds of lives and thousands of homes from wanlon destruction. The international community has not done enough to help Africa at a time when Africa needs it most and most stands to benefit, And it allows nearly 3 billion people—almost half of all humanity to subsist on $2 or less a day in a world of unprecedented wealth.
? ?The international system for much of our century has been based on division and hard calculations of realpolitik. In the new century, we can and must do better. I do not mean to suggest that an ear of complete harmony is within our reach. Of course, interests and ideas will always conflict. But we can improve on this century’s dismal record. The international community is a "work in progress". Many strands of cooperation have asserted themselves over the years. We must now stitch them into a strong fabric of international community for an international era.

According to what some people say, the international community ______.

A:is an organization recognized internationally B:is a concept with no fixed explanation C:is invented by a fiction writer D:is a community with an adaptable pattern
