一、阅读理解
A
With the fast development of AI and new technology, the job market is changing quickly. As technology plays more important roles in our daily life and work, many traditional jobs are disappearing, while new jobs are appearing every day. This great change affects people of all ages and life.
Cashiers in supermarkets are being replaced by self-checkout machines. Nowadays, many people prefer to scan and pay for goods by themselves, which is faster and more convenient. Factory workers who do simple and repeated work are also losing jobs because robots can work faster, more accurately and never get tired. Even some office workers, like data entry clerks, may be replaced by AI programs that can collect, process and store information in a very short time.
However, new jobs are springing up with the development of technology. For example, AI trainers teach AI systems to think and work better in different situations. Virtual reality(VR) designers create wonderful scenes and images for people’s digital avatars(化身)in the online world. Space tour guides will lead visitors to travel in space when space tourism becomes popular. Environmental protection specialists study pollution and help solve climate problems.
Not all jobs will disappear. Jobs that need creativity, communication skills and human care will always be important. Teachers, doctors and artists are good examples. These jobs need understanding, patience and creative thinking, which AI cannot fully take the place of. To keep up with the changes, young people should learn new skills and be open to new chances. It is necessary for them to keep studying and improve their abilities so that they can be ready for the future job market.
