问题    AI is probably coming for your job. But there may be a way to future-proof your career. "Humans are going to find meaningful work if they can do the things that machines can’t do well," says Ed Hess, a professor of business administration at University of Virginia. "And that’s higher-order thinking—critical, creative, innovative, imaginative thinking."
   In order to remain relevant in the new world of work, we’ll need to lean in to the skills that make us most human. Psychologists, social workers, elementary school teachers: These kinds of careers require a real understanding of what it means to be a person. Job numbers support this argument: As automation creeps in, fields that interact with machines such as construction work, factory work, and machine operation are declining rapidly, while occupations that value interpersonal skills, like those in the healthcare field, are seeing explosive growth.
   Hess believes that soon, it won’t be enough to simply be intelligent: AI has the capacity to be much smarter than us. Adapting to the future of work therefore means we need to redefine "smart" to focus on our quality of thinking. In other words, we’ll have to learn how to become more emotionally intelligent.
   Emotional intelligence (EI) is a person’s ability to perceive, utilize, and manage their emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It’s a valuable skill for management roles, or any job that requires a significant amount of social interaction. A psychotherapist, for example, might use EI skills to put themselves in the shoes of their clients to try to understand their patterns of thinking. A startup founder with high EI might use a missed business target as an opportunity to invigorate (鼓舞) their team. The ability to listen, collaborate, empathize (产生共鸣), and self-regulate are all part of an emotionally intelligent person’s toolkit.
   If machines struggle to imitate these human-oriented abilities, automation could bring about a moment of reckoning for EI skills, which have a long history of being undervalued by the labor market.
   And that might just mean a moment of reckoning for women, too. Studies of emotional intelligence have shown that women have a distinct EI advantage over men. Not only do they score higher on EI tests generally, but they score higher on every single subscale of EI tests, as well. Study after study has shown that women outperform men at understanding, expressing, and perceiving emotions.
   This might explain why, after the financial crisis, women managed to adapt to the decline in middle-skill jobs better than men did, despite women being hit hardest. While the jobs that AI is displacing are mostly held by men, it is primarily women moving into expanding occupations like home health aides and nursing. Labor market experts have assumed that another reason this gap is growing is because men are reluctant to move into booming fields like healthcare as they see it as "pink collar," or women’s work. [br] Why did women adapt to the decline in middle-skill jobs better than men did?
选项 A、Women have better EI than men.
B、Men were hit harder by the financial crisis.
C、Women have higher IQ than men.
D、Men didn’t have the relative skills.
答案 A
