Peple wh wrk with their hands may have mre jb security in 2023 than thse wh depend n technlgy. A leading expert in the field f artificial intelligence, Prfessr Wldridge, explains that thse manual (体力的) wrkers, such as cnstructin wrkers, are likely safe frm the expansin (扩张) f AI.
“There are lts f examples f the huge range f technlgies which will make peple's lives better,” Prfessr Wldridge said. “But the ‘imprtance f peple’ in carrying ut a lt f jbs has been underestimated by mdern sciety. There are an awful lt f jbs which really require human understanding and having a human there is really imprtant. I'm nt as pessimistic (悲观的) abut AI and jbs as mst media has shwed.”
Hwever, Prfessr Wldridge warned that the new technlgy wuld be a “damaging frce” fr emplyees wh perfrm duties like taking phne calls. “A type f jb I'm wrried abut is call center peratrs. If yur jb is t understand what peple are telling yu but yu are mre r less fllwing instructins that yu’ve been given, this kind f jb is easily affected when artificial intelligence steps nt the stage.”
A 2022 study fund autmatin is partially respnsible fr a drp in US industrial jbs. Previus research has estimated a lss f 420,000 t 750,000 jbs during the1990s and 2000s, mst f which were manufacturing jbs. Despite that, Prfessr Wldridge says the technlgy is far frm capable f perfrming manual labr rles. He suggests that the technlgy like rbts is indeed taking jbs frm humans, but at a much lwer rate than mst assume.
A recent study fund that nly 14 percent f wrkers in their study have lst their jbs t a rbt. As Prfessr Wldridge said, peple are generally quick t vastly exaggerate (夸大) the rate f rbt takever.
28. What d we knw abut manual wrkers frm Paragraph 1?
A. They are safe frm lsing jbs.B. Their wrk depends n their technical ability.
C. They knw less abut high technlgy.D. Their wrk is unlikely affected by AI.
29. What pint f view des mst media express abut AI and jbs?
A. Humans are still the main bdy f future wrk.B. AI will replace the majrity f human wrk.
C. AI will bring mre jb pprtunities t peple.D. Technlgies make a difference t peple's lives.
30. Accrding t Wldridge, wh might prbably be affected by AI mst?
A. Cnstructin wrkers.B. Airplane pilts.C. Receptinists.D. Teachers.
31. What is Wldridge's attitude twards rbt takever?
A. Dubtful.B. Unclear.C. Cautius.D. Psitive.

Children wh are given pprtunities t manage mney when they' re yung are mre likely t be financially respnsible as they enter adulthd, says a new study frm Brigham Yung University.
The study, led by Dr. Ashley LeBarn-Black, surveyed ver 4,000 yung adults, asking a series f questins in rder t understand hw they learned mney management frm their parents during childhd. The results f the study fund that while it was imprtant fr parents t talk t their kids abut mney management and t mdel gd financial behavirs, these effrts alne weren't enugh t prepare children t becme financially respnsible yung adults. The mst effective thing a parent can d is t prvide experiential learning pprtunities fr their children, allwing them t manage their wn mney and practice making financial decisins.
Allwing children t manage mney can be intimidating fr parents at first, but LeBarn-Black suggests parents relax and start with simple activities. Fr example, a yung kid culd be given a simple 3-slt (三个投币口的) mney bx t stre their mney: ne slt fr savings, ne fr giving, and ne fr spending. As they grw, children can practice budgeting (预算), saving fr shrt-term gals like a bike, saving fr lng-term gals like cllege, spending mney wisely, and pening savings r ther investment accunts.
“Keep trying, even when it seems difficult,” said LeBarn-Black. “Parents need t knw that setting children up with a strng fundatin (基础) f mney management takes time. In the years t cme, the small effrts yu' re making are ging t pay ff fr yur kid.
“It's a pattern that can apply t many aspects (方面) f parenting. Discussins are necessary, but verbal (口头的) teaching alne is nt enugh. When parents give children pprtunities t make their wn chices and experience the results, whether psitive r negative, children will be much better at making chices thrughut their lives,” LeBarn-Black explained.
32. What is the new study mainly abut?
A. The real rle mney plays in children's lives.
B. Why mney management is imprtant t children.
C. Hw parents shuld teach children abut mney.
D. The different views n mney f parents and children.
33. What des the underlined wrd “intimidating” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. NecessaryB. Wrrying.C. Dangerus.D. Interesting.
34. What is LeBarn-Blac's suggestin fr parents?
A. Practicing gd financial behavirs.B. Setting financial gals fr children.
C. Learning basic financial knwledge.D. Being patient with their effrts.
35. Hw might children benefit frm the parenting pattern LeBarn-Black mentined?
A. They will learn self-cntrl.B. They will be better decisin-makers.
C. They will be mre independent.D. They will learn the meaning f hard wrk.
