  The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.

  But the report states: "Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs-just changing what people do." Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.

  "The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know­how will directly challenge big companies," it states.

  A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured "a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create," according to Aaron Smith, the report's co­author.

  "Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change," Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

  A. people will face many difficulties

  B. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces

  C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives

  33. According to the report, ________.

  A. people won't necessarily lose jobs

  B. big companies will face fewer challenges

  C. small companies will win against big companies

  D. most people will become interested in technology

  34. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?

  A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Mixed. D. Doubtful.

  35. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that ________.

  A. there will be enough jobs for people

  B. things will change a lot in a few years

  C. many people will become unemployed
