“Experts predict that 50 percent of occupations today will no longer exist by 2025 as people will take up more creative professions,”said Martin Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis.“This means that jobs will develop and so will real estate development.”
Workspaces with rows of desks will become completely extra, not because they are not fit for purpose, but simply because that purpose no longer exists, according to the report.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a corresponding revolution will necessarily take place on how we plan and think about workplaces,”said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for GBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing proportion of jobs in the future will require creativity intelligence, social skills and the ability to apply artificial intelligence.“And for most people that will be a route to happiness and fulfillment,”the report states.
Data in the US suggests that technology already destroys more jobs than it creates, as GDP has been able grow faster than employment since 2000. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few decades.
The optimists imagined “a future in which robots and digital agents do not replace more jobs than they create,”Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers that: “Technology will continue to break up jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created.

24、It was a discovery that could change science. “We hit the jackpot (头奖) here,” said a British scientist, Guillem, about the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar system.
What do we know about this exciting new Earth? Well, Proxima b, or “Earth II” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.
There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote in an article: “First, as reporter Lois Lane asked Superman in the first movie, Do you eat? Do you have poetry? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list.”
The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the U.S.’ space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes, sent up into space in 1972 and the next year.
Included with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. Gold records were also sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens on Proxima b had played the record, they would have found sounds and images that showed the incredible diversity of Earth.
Aliens might also have heard the message from former U.S. President Jimmy Carter: “This is a present from a small distant world… our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (星系的) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in an … awesome universe.”
It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet—even if it has an atmosphere—because first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900 km/h).
“Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet,” the Chicago Tribune wrote.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Proxima b?
A．Proxima b is bigger and closer to the sun than Earth.
B．It is a newly discovered star in the solar system.
C．Proxima b has an atmosphere like the Earth
D．The sky of Proxima b turns orange at sunset.
【2】The postcards and records were sent up into space on probes to ________.
A．show off the incredible diversity of Earth to aliens
B．describe Earth and express friendly feelings to aliens
C．test if there were aliens in space
D．invite aliens to visit Earth
【3】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．Earth will get worse and worse in the near future.
B．Proxima b seems to be an alternative living place.
C．We will be able to settle in Proxima b soon.
D．Proxima b is more suitable to live in than Earth.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To give advice on how to visit a new planet.
B．To illustrate the thrills of moving to a new home in space.
C．To prove that aliens really exist on other planets.
D．To report on the discovery of an interesting new planet.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Maria was practicing with her soccer mates in a tiny school yard. They were all from River Edge Rockers, a soccer team of their community. Suddenly, the ball flew into a deep hole at the edge of the yard. It was the third time that they had lost their ball this month. Without the ball Maria had to wave goodbye to her mates and went home, depressed. "If only there were a regulation soccer field!" she thought.
That evening, seeing her in low spirits, her father asked, "What was the matter, dear?"
“I was just thinking about playing in a brand new soccer field!" Maria answered.
Her father smiled and said, "Tomorrow, a Town Council meeting is to be held to discuss about the use of that vacant lot next to the pet store, Home for Pets. Why not take this opportunity to convince them we need a better field?"
The next day, with the company of her father, Maria and her teammates went to the meeting hall. On their arrival they saw Councilwoman Jill and some citizens already there. They took their seats. After Jill announced the start of the discussion, Maria stood up and spoke first. "Up till now there is no soccer field in our community, which certainly affects our physical health. Our team currently have to practice in a tiny school yard, and only when it's not already booked."
Mrs. Lorries, owner of the pet store, commented, "I couldn't agree more. Kids do need such a field." The Rockers applauded excitedly and the other citizens all agreed it would be a way out.
"A soccer field would be a good use for that lot with overgrown weeds and some large rocks, but to build such one would need a small sum of money and maybe you even need to do all the work on your own." Councilwoman Jill smiled, "Can you manage it?"
Thinking for a while, Maria nodded with a determined look on her face, "The Rockers can do it! We will turn it into a soccer field." The teammates all cheered.
