Today，technological advances are rapidly making it possible to automate（自動化）much of the work currently carried out by humans.This applies to both blue-collar jobs through robotics and the Internet，and white-collar work through artificial intelligence.The wide applicability of these technologies has led to broad concern about the destruction of jobs.Indeed，according to a 2014 Oxford study，47% of jobs in the US could be replaced by automated processes in the next two decades.
Of course，as many have noted，while technology has always removed the need for some types of jobs，it also creates new ones.Technology is a set of tools that we use in different ways to increase efficiency.The Industrial Revolution destroyed some jobs but created many more.It also increased the total wealth of society and began to create a middle class who could enjoy health，education，and other benefits that previously had been available only to the wealthiest.It can be challenging to predict the kinds of jobs that this new revolution will create and in what quantities，which makes the situation seem worse than it actually is.But nine of the top ten most in-demand jobs of 2012 didn't exist in 2003，suggesting that this latest revolution is creating new employment opportunities.
For many，this picture is overly optimistic.The new jobs require a completely different skills set-you can't turn an assembly plant（組裝廠）worker into a data scientist overnight.Others are concerned that we are facing a permanent reduction in the need for human labor.Science fiction has long imagined a future where we no longer have to work and can spend our time on more noble pursujye.ais.It seems that neither our social norms nor our economic systems are ready for it.
（1）How is white-collar work automated by technology？
（2）What benefits did the Industrial Revolution bring to the society？
（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
The technological advances are creating many new employment opportunities，so people think there is a growing need for human labor.
（4）What is your attitude towards the technological advances？（about 40 words）組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5 -
