The future of work

If you can get it, Robots may well take your job — eventually Pioneers are not always welcome. In 1589 William Lee made his way to the English queen, hoping to be granted a patent for his invention, a knitting (编织) machine. Queen Elizabeth I turned him down: “Consider what the invention could do to my poor people,” she commanded. “It would surely bring to them ruin by taking away their employment.”

The fears of Queen have echoed down the centuries. In the 21st century the concerns have switched to robots and artificial intelligence (AD); 30% of American workers believe their jobs are likely to be replaced by robots and computers in their lifetime.

Daniel Susskind has written about this issue before in “The Future of the Professions”, co-authored with his father, Richard. That book focused on the threat by machine-learning to doctors, lawyers and the like.

In the past the relationship between machine and human labour has been driven by two factors: the substituting effect, which caused people to lose jobs, and the complementing (补足) effect, which allowed employees to do their work more productively. The author worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will rule. Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities, he says. A few highly paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will either struggle to find work or fall into the “precariat”, stuck in jobs that are not just poorly paid but unstable and stressful.

Perhaps. It is impossible to be sure whether the latest advances will in the end have mainly good or bad economic effects. Books like his are a useful summary of the current debate on an important subject. But they are not crystal balls.

3.Daniel Susskind worries that___________.

The advantages of using flashcards to build up a vocabulary are well known. You can buy sets of cards, or make your own, and carry them with you wherever you go. There’s no question this is useful and because you can use them in short bursts, it’s not too much for you. It can be fun. I don’t recommend drilling for hours at a time with flashcards.

If you want to use flashcard software, things get even better. There are many packages out there for maintaining and drilling flashcards. I recommend VTrain though there are many others.

One stands out, however: SuperMemo. Similar to Pimsleur, SuperMemo is engineered according to a carefully researched methodology (方法学) in order to test you on a card the very minimum number of times you need to see it for it to stick. When you look at a card, you give some feedback to the software on whether you got it right and how easy you found it. It uses this information, and that of your previous attempts, to decide when you will be shown the card next. It’s smart and it really works.

If you’re like me, the news is even better! I have a version of SuperMemo that runs on my PalmOS phone. Wherever I am, if I have my phone handy, I have thousands of flashcards with me too. Honestly, it would be worth purchasing a cheap Palm device only for this. You can pick one up for $20 or even less on eBay or elsewhere. Consider it, at least.

1.With SuperMemo, whether the next card will be shown depends on ________.

A. the time you look at the card

B. the information in the computer

C. the feedback one gives to the software

D. the times one attempts to do with a card

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Using cards to study can be very tiring.

B. Don’t need to study with flashcards too long at a time.

C. There is not enough flashcards software at present.

D. Flashcard software can be carried wherever you go.

3.What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A. To introduce to us a way to build up a vocabulary.

B. To teach us how to make flashcards.

C. To suggest us buying flashcards.

D. To tell us how to use flashcard software.
