But in a prosperous economy where nearly everyone had work, there were few takers. Raising wages didnt help.

36、 Nor did offers to subsidize(补贴) housing. So he turned to the robots.“We cant find enough humans,” said Mr. Frolik, whose company, Linet, makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries. “So were trying to replace people with machines wherever we can.”Such talk usually makes people think of a future

37、where employees are no longer needed. In many major economies, companies are experimenting with replacing factory workers, truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence.But in Eastern Europe, robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers. Often they are helping to

38、 create new types of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland try to stay competitive. Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years, affected by the global recovery. A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 percent, the low

39、est in the European Union.The lack of manpower, however, has limited the ability of Czech companies to expand. Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders, according to the Czech Confederation of Industry, a trade group.“Its becoming a brake on growth,” said Jaroslav Hanak, the organizat

40、ions president. “If businesses dont increase robotization and artificial intelligence, theyll disappear.”Some factories in Eastern Europe are already on the way. At Elko EP, which makes industrial timers for companies like General Electric, 70 percent of production is automated, and the company is a

41、iming to be almost fully robotized in a few years. In a corner of the factory, robots have taken over routine manufacturing(制造业) tasks. Jiri Konecny, the companys CEO, moved factory floor workers to more complex roles, and focused hundreds of other employees on research and development. “If we hadnt

45、s. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.Using Charles Dickenss nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the famil

46、ial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickenss own literary works. More importa

47、ntly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud

48、 was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary（孤独的）reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as reli

49、gious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a c

50、lass phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to dist

51、ribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.Since the literacy level of this section of the population

52、was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1650 by the Education Act a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickenss readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dicke

53、ns also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus literacy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.A working class home was in many

54、 ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the pub

55、lic to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickenss popularity among readers from the non-middle classes

56、 contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously,” to use Walter Benjamins term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in todays world. M

57、odern audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloudsuch as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being
