    Reading comprehension（40 points）

    Directions:

    Read thefollowing four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A,B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1.

    Passage One

    Officejobs are among the positions hardest hit by compumation （计算机自动化）。 Wordprocessors and typists will lose about 93，000 jobs over the next few years， while 57，000 secretarial jobs will vanish.Blame the PC: Today，many executives type their own memos and carry there“ secretaries” in the palmsof their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks， whose ranks are expected to decreaseby 68，000. Andemployees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced withcomputerized systems.

    But not everyone who loses a job willend up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions withintheir own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business，telephone operator Judy Doughertypursued retraining. She is now a communications technician，earning about $ 64，000 per year. Of course， if you've been a tollbooth collectorfor the past 30 years，and you find yourself replaced by an E ZPass machine， it may be of little consolation（安慰） to know that the telecom field isbooming.

    And that's just it: The service economy is fading: welcome to the expertise（专门知识） economy. To succeed in the new jobmarket， you must beable to handle complex problems. Indeed， all but one of the 50highest-paying occupations---air-traffic controller---demand at least abachelor's degree.

    For those with just a high schooldiploma（毕业证书）。It'sgoing to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory andclerical jobs will be available .what's left be the jobs that compumationscan't kill，computers cant clean offices ，or for Alzheimer's patients（老年痴呆病人）。 But ，since most people have the skills to fill those positions， the wages stay painfully low，meaning compumation could drive aneven deeper wedge （楔子） between the and poor， The best advice now ，Never stop learning ，and keep up with new technology.

    For busy adults of course that can be tough ，The good news is that very technology that'sreducing so many jobs is a making it easier to go back to school without havingto sit in a classroom. So called internet distance learning is hot， with more than three million studentscurrently enrolled ，and it's gaining credibility with employers.
