Rather, Lepld thinks that it’s an issue f skill upgrading. The reprt fund that 77% f emplyers were lking at teaching their current wrkfrce t better wrk alngside AI, while 47% were lking at transitining emplyees frm declining rles int ther rles in the rganizatin.
“The key pint is nt that we might nt have enugh jbs,” Lepld says. “The issue is that jbs may lk much different.” The jbs mst likely t be affected are largely white-cllar jbs like clerical (文书的)wrk that invlves using varius prcesses, such as typing and vice recrding, fr inputting data int cmputers, which is in line with what has been fund in previus editins f the reprt. New additins include accunting and graphic design jbs, as generative AI mdels have imprved capabilities fr bth.
Other recent reprts supprt the Wrld Ecnmic Frum’s findings. A survey f chief financial fficers cnducted by Duke University fund 37% f respndents had used AI t cmplete tasks previusly dne by emplyees. 54% were planning n ding s ver the next year, including 76% f large firms. “Hwever, in the shrt run, this will be mre abut plugging sme hles and pssibly nt hiring smene they wuld have planned t hire — but nt dismissing smene “ said Jhn Graham, the academic directr f the survey.
A new study paints a mre sbering picture. It said banks culd cut up t 200,000 jbs in the next five years due t AI. But despite the findings f the study, authr Tmasz Netzel agreed with Lepld and Graham. “Jbs invlving rutine, repetitive tasks are at risk, but AI wn’t remve them fully. Rather, it’ll lead t wrkplace transfrmatin,” he said.

A new study has fund that hedgehgs (刺猬) have incredibly sensitive hearing. The animals can hear high-pitched sunds that humans, cats and dgs can’t detect, accrding t scientists. Experts nw hpe that special nise-making devices culd be built t help keep hedgehgs away frm rads.
Hedgehg numbers are in decline and cars are a big factr. A 2022 reprt revealed that hedgehg numbers in the British cuntryside had drpped by up t 75% in just ver 20 years. It is thught that up t a third f hedgehgs are killed by cars when crssing rads. Sphie Lund Rasmussen, frm the University f Oxfrd, England, had the idea t build a sund device that culd scare hedgehgs away frm rads. Hwever, she needed t knw hw gd their hearing was first.
Researchers wrked with 20 hedgehgs frm Danish wildlife rescue centres, studying hw their brains respnded t shrt bursts f sund. They fund there was brain activity when hedgehgs heard frequencies between fur and 85 kilhertz (kHz).
Frequency measures hw much a sund wave vibrates in ne secnd. Anything ver 20 kHz, which is the limit that humans can hear, is in the “ultrasnic” range. Dgs can hear up t 45kHz and cats up t 65kHz. In ther wrds, hedgehgs can hear super high-pitched nises that humans, dgs and cats can’t pick up.
Rasmussen said mre research is needed t wrk ut exactly which sunds put ff hedgehgs, but nce they knw they culd design a device that gives ff an ultrasund nise. This culd be attached t cars and lawnmwers t scare hedgehgs away frm danger, but nt be annying t humans r mst pets.
The test results als raise the pssibility that hedgehgs are talking t each ther in a high-pitched chatter that is hidden frm humans. “Imagine that they’re actually chattering all the time and we just culdn’t hear it,” said Rasmussen.
32. What is special abut hedgehgs’ hearing?
A. It is sensitive t the nise.B. It is wrse than ther animals’.
C. It detects high-frequency sunds.D. It helps them t get delicius fd.
33. Why is a sund device needed accrding t the text?
A. T reduce hedgehgs’ deaths.B. T distract hedgehgs’ attentin.
C. T imprve hedgehgs’ hearing.D. T increase hedgehgs’ cmmunicatin.
34. What can be inferred frm the hearing cmparisn?
A. Cats are the same as dgs.B. Humans have the best hearing.
C. Hedgehgs have the widest hearing.D. Hedgehgs are limited t special sunds.
35. Where culd the ultrasund device be used?
A. T decrease traffic jams.B. T scare away ther animals.
C. T prmte humans’ hearing.D. T prevent hedgehgs frm danger.

I was managing behavir all mrning and by lunchtime, I knew I needed cffee t even cnsider surviving the afternn. S at my lunch break, I drve t a nearby plaza t get a cup f cffee. There I had a wnderful time and frgt the unpleasant experience in the mrning. Upn returning t the car I realized I had lcked my keys and my phne inside! I had abut 15 minutes t get back t the schl which was a gd 4-r-5 minutes drive away. I cntemplated rushing back, but it was winter, and I thught a nasty fall n ice wuld nly make the situatin much wrse.
S I ran int a restaurant which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the cunter t call me a cab. The man happened t be the manager f the restaurant. I briefly explained my situatin t him, and I culd tell by the lk in his eyes that he empathized. He hurried t the back t use the phne while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes t get back t my schl at this pint.
The manager returned nly t tell me that the cab cmpany had put him n hld and then the line gt discnnected. My expressin, I assume, began t resemble sme cmbinatin f hpelessness and fear.
