C
A new age is coming. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we’re partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the range of
the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held ideas about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers — all these are being challenged.
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more valid, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information service will be superior. It will be the way you do your job.
66. A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is that .
A. the service industry mainly relies on females
B. manufacturing industries are steadily increasing
C. more people are in the service industry than before
D. the work in the service industry is more comfortable than that in manufacturing industry

A. People’s traditional concepts about jobs need changing.
B. The relation between employees and employers is b
ecoming tense.
C. More women than men are in the work force.
D. Part-time jobs are more welcome than full-time jobs.

A. we haven’t paid enough attention to the importance of high technology
B. the chip is the most important invention today
C. the power of science and technology is beyond our imagination
D. it’s a great challenge to apply new inventions to our life
69. We may draw a conclusion from the passage that .
A. information will play a greater role in people’s work and daily life in the future
B. we can foresee the future if technology develops fast enough
C. the ability of performing routine tasks gives you an advantage in work

查看习题详情和答案>>arena as a power. However, a series of issues since the beginning of this year, particularly Washington's
stance on the U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and the South China Sea issue have made the world
think: Is the United States ready to recognize China as a power on the world stage?
It is easier said than done for the United States to adapt itself to China's development. Lip service is far
from enough to boost the development of Sino-U.S. relations. If Washington cannot find a way to recognize
and accept China's peaceful rise onto the world stage, bilateral (双边的) ties will be like a roller coaster full
of ups and downs. However, no one would like to see the negative effects rocky relations would bring to
China, the United States and possibly to the world as a whole.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to play a greater role in solving the world's
economic, environmental and political problems. She said global issues could not be solved by the United
States or China alone, but without participation of the two countries, no problems would likely be solved.
Washington has realized that the United States' global interest can be maintained only through changing the
way it deals with China.
The Obama administration released positive signals in its relations with China, which have been interpreted
as the United States showing its intention to change the traditional strategy of engagement and containment
(遏制政策 ). As a matter of fact, the general direction of Sino-U. S. relations provides a foundation on
which the United States can base its foreign policies and is more complicated than an adjustment in real
conditions. Issues such as arms sales to Taiwan, Google censorship, RMB exchange rates as well as finger-
pointing about economic responsibility show Washington still seems confused and impatient about relations
with China.
The relationship between China and the United States is the most important and complicated bilateral
relationship in the world this century. The development of Sino-U.S. relations will affect world peace and
stability, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Ian Bremmer, an American political scientist specializing in
U.S. foreign policy, said, "America and China will have more than ever to gain from closer political and
commercial ties, and must take steps to avoid a Cold War, or worse."
In that circumstance; the United States needs both wisdom and determination to recognize and accept
China, a country that is totally different from its own, as a power on the world stage.
B. there will surely be a Cold War between the USA and China
C. there are many differences between the USA and China
D. it is wise for the U. S. government to sell arms to Taiwan
B. the U.S. government has realized the importance of China
C. Washington are afraid of China both in economy and politics
D. the United States is ready to accept China as a power
B. opinion
C. ignorance
D. criticism
B. Is U.S. ready to recognize China as a world power?
C. Is U.S. still the most powerful country in the world?
D. Is Sino-U.S. relationship the most important and complicated in the world?
