If you are young and thinking about your career, you want to know where you can make a living. Well, [12] there’s going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge-intensive jobs in the next twenty years. Particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills. One is teaching, and the other, healthcare. You have so many applications and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of healthcare and education sectors would be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost. Now, where will the new jobs be found? [13] Well, the one sector of the economy that can’t be easily duplicated by even smart technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector. That is, you can’t really get a robot to do a great massage or physically therapy. Or you can’t get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service. They could be very high and personal services. [14] Therapists do charge a lot of money. I think there’s no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care people would like if they could afford it. But the real question in the future is how can people afford these things if they don’t have money because they can’t get a job that pays enough. [15] That’s why I wrote this book which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes to what we used to consider high income work.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What does the speaker say will happen in the next twenty years?
13. Where will young people have more chances to find jobs?
14. What does the speaker say about therapists?
15. What is the speaker’s book about?

选项 A、They charge high prices.
B、They need lots of training.
C、They cater to the needs of young people.
D、They focus on customers’ specific needs.

答案 A

解析 浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的charge,need,cater to,focus on等词可以推测,该题可能涉及某个行业的具体特点。题干问的是关于理疗师,讲话者说了什么。短文中提到,理疗师确实要价很高。故答案为A(他们要价很高)。B项(他们需要很多培训)、C项(他们迎合年轻人的需要)和D项(他们关注顾客的特定需求)原文均未提及,故排除。
