问题     机器人
    机器人将代替人力,那我们现在应该做些什么呢?如果以史为鉴,有些人可能会推动保护主义,使某些工作不被自动化取代,以保持短期内的就业水平。在下一个10年里,随着无人驾驶汽车的发展,美国有23.3万名出租车司机和170万名卡车司机都要面临失业的风险。现在美国的许多城市人们反对无人驾驶汽车。但在长期看,封锁创新是一种短视行为,而且会使国家失去竞争力,落后于那些乐于接受更高效的新技术的国家。
    在未来20年里,那些非熟练技术工更有可能感受到被机器人夺走工作的痛苦。贫富差距会进一步加大。这有可能进一步加剧紧张局面,刺激更多人游说提高最低工资。但是就像保护主义一样,提高最低工资最终也可能起到反效果。比如提高酒店业和快餐业员工的最低工资,可能会进一步提高企业对自动化的兴趣,因为他们觉得这样做无疑会给公司省更多的钱。
    因此,与其推行就业保护主义、提升最低工资,我们还不如认真考虑应该如何改进我们过时的教育体系。

选项

答案     Robots
    What should we do right now to cope with the idea that robots will take the place of human workers?
    If we draw a lesson from history, we find that some people might advocate protectionism to prevent some jobs from being replaced by automation, thus maintaining employment levels for the moment.
    With the development of driverless vehicles in the next decade, about 233, 000 taxi drivers and 1. 7 million truck drivers in America will face the prospect of losing their jobs.
    Though many people in American cities are opposed to driverless cars, it is a shortsighted reaction. In the long run, this attitude will cost the country its competitive edge causing it to fall behind other countries that have embraced the more efficient new technologies.
    Therefore , over the next 20 years unskilled workers will probably feel the pain of their jobs being taken over robots.
    Consequently, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen, causing greater tension (which, in turn, will aggravate/ exacerbate the tension) and prompting some people to advocate raising the minimum wage.
    However, increasing the minimum wage, like protectionism, could eventually lead to the opposite result.
    For instance, raising the minimum wages for employees of hotels and fast food restaurants may only encourage automation, which would save companies more money.
    Thus, rather than resorting to protectionism and raising the minimum salary, we ought to carefully consider how to improve our outmoded education system.
