18、 that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the mos

19、t dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly

20、 investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the Unit

21、ed Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reducti

22、on in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequ

23、ently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. Wha

24、t also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real inc

25、omes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with hi

26、gher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce peoples fears.1、What is the function of the second paragraph?ATo explain the importance of developing new technology.BTo show ho

27、w technology affected employment in the past.CTo argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.DTo give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.2、How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?AConfusing BReliableCStable DVariable3、According

28、to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?AThere are more goods for people to choose from.BThere is more demand for new skills in the economy.CProductivity improvements help raise workers salaries.DHigher quality goods at lower prices encourage co

29、nsumption.4、What is the authors opinion about the introduction of new technology?AIt does not have an effect on most peoples jobs.BIts benefits are usually not worth the introduction.CIt usually leads to a significant increase in employment.DIts danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstat

48、the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Ai

49、r Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark

50、place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room.
