［解析］［文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了杨百翰大学社会学教授埃里克•达林（EricDahlin）

的一项新研究表明，目前还没有必要担心机器人会接管人类。达林的研究发现，机器人取代人类

1.根据第三段内容（为了了解失业和机器人之间的关系，达林调查了近2000人对机器人取代工作

的看法。他们首先被要求猜测雇主用机器人取代工作的员工比例。然后，他们被问及雇主是否曾

用机器人取代过他们的工作。）可推知，埃里克♦达林是通过问别人问题来进行他的研究的。故选

一起工作的工作场所在某种程度上创造了更多的价值。达林说：“一个日常的例子是你当地百货

公司的自动机器。“当员工清洁货架下面或其他难以触及的地方时，这个机器人会清洁地板。”）

可推知，埃里克♦达林可能会同意机器人可以作为人类的伙伴工作这一说法。故选A。
