11、nyone whos worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfees claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.They believe that technology increases produc

12、tivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine

13、 tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the

14、 two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic g

15、rowth with no parallel increase in job creation.United States Productivity and EmploymentBut are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (无生气) job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology

16、 could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If hes right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowd

17、own in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but theres not a lot of evidence that its linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can c

18、hange a lot without there being huge changes in employment rates.”Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over

19、an extended period. Still, Katz doesnt dismiss the notion that there is something different about todays digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”1、Which period on the ch

22、e impact of technologies on productivity22（8分）Dos and Donts in Whale (鲸) WatchingThe Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel (船只) operators f

23、ollow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. Keep noise levels down no horns, whistles or racing of engines. Start your boat only after the whales are more

24、 than 100 metres from your vessel Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction

25、 if traveling side by side with whales. When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore. Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. If there is more t

26、han one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.

A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movem

32、ent. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhangs research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disab

To draw at

37、tention to this widespread problem，the United Nations（UN）is putting education first. Recently，the UN screened a documentary film called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries（纪录片）for the project Time for School. These films follow seven children from seven different coun

38、tries. This 12-year project began in 2006，when the children first started school. This is something we could do to help the education crisis in the world，said producer and writer Judy Katz. “Documentary film-makers can get deeply involved in a problem and do something about it.”More than 100 million

39、 children will never set foot in a school. Sixty percent of those children are girls. Cheryl Faye，head of the UN Girls Education Initiative，spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also，gir

40、ls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families. “We need to make a special effort for girls，”Faye said. As part of the UNs Millennium goals，the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education by 2018. Students from Lawrence

The seventh grade class is raising money to help build a library on the outskirts of Nairobi，Kenya（肯尼亚），where Joab-a child in the documentary-lives. The class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class are known in their school as the “Ke

42、nya crew”. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts.

48、melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yet the form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year, does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk.“Walking is a refreshing alternative to complicated aerobic ( 氧) routines and overprice

Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less

51、weight than couch potatoes as they got older. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25 percent fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel good about yourself. “For people suffering from depression, walk

52、ing three to four times a week for 30 minutes has been shown to lift their mood,” says Knight.But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness? Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to

53、 lose weight. “Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves,” says Knight.1、What is the latest fitness trend accordi
