were each 14 to an adult tester holding a plastic container. The tester would ask, “What’s in here?” before

Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in

the next presidential campaign: What happens when the robots come for their jobs?

Don't dismiss that possibility entirely. About half of U.S. jobs are at high risk of being automated,

according to a University of Oxford study, with the middle class disproportionately squeezed.

Lower-income jobs like gardening or day care don't appeal to robots. But many middle-class

occupations-trucking, financial advice, software engineering — have aroused their interest, or soon will.

The rich own the robots, so they will be fine.

This isn't to be alarmist. Optimists point out that technological upheaval has benefited workers in the

past. The Industrial Revolution didn't go so well for Luddites whose jobs were displaced by mechanized

workers from hard, boring work. But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help

should do a better job of fostering problem-solving skills and helping students work alongside robots.

Online education can supplement the traditional kind. It could make extra training and instruction

affordable. Professionals trying to acquire new skills will be able to do so without going into debt.

The challenge of coping with automation underlines the need for the U.S. to revive its fading business

dynamism: Starting new companies must be made easier. In previous eras of drastic technological change,

entrepreneurs smoothed the transition by dreaming up ways to combine labor and machines. The best uses

of 3D printers and virtual reality haven't been invented yet. The U.S. needs the new companies that will

invent them.

Finally, because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income,

taxes and the safety net will have to be rethought. Taxes on low-wage labor need to be cut, and wage

21.Who will be most threatened by automation?

22 .Which of the following best represent the author’s view?

[B]Optimists' opinions on new tech find little support.

[C]Issues arising from automation need to be tackled

[D]Negative consequences of new tech can be avoided
