3．It's easy to believe that robots are stealing jobs from human workers and badly affect the job market；after all，you've likely heard that they are tracking and moving packages without the use of human hands.
But there's no need to worry about a robot takeover just yet，says a new study from BYU sociology professor Eric Dahlin.Dahlin's research found that robots aren't replacing humans at the rate most people think，but people are likely to greatly exaggerate（夸大）the rate of robot takeover.
To understand the relationship between job loss and robots，Dahlin surveyed nearly 2，000 people about their view on jobs being replaced by robots.They were first asked to guess what is the percentage of employees whose employers（雇主）have replaced jobs with robots.
The study found that only 14% of workers say they've seen their job replaced by a robot.But those who have experienced job displacement due to a robot overstate the effect of robots taking jobs from humans by about three times.
"Our understanding of robots taking over Jobs is greatly exaggerated，"says Dahlin.Those who haven't lost jobs overstate it by about double，and those who have lost jobs overstate it by about three times.Eye-catching headlines saying a bad future of employment have likely overblown the situation of robots taking over jobs.
The finding fits early studies，which suggest that robots aren't replacing workers.Rather，workplaces，where both employees and robots are working together，deliver more value in a way."An everyday example is an autonomous machine at your local department store，"says Dahlin."This robot cleans the floors while employees clean under shelves or other difficult-to-reach places."
（1）How did Eric Dahlin carry out his research？
A．By asking people questions.
B．By comparing early studies.
C．By interviewing employers.
D．By studying new businesses.
（2）What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？
A．Bad effects of technology.
B．A fall in laid-off workers.
C．Benefits of using robots.
D．The finding of the study.
（3）What might deepen people's worry about robot takeover according to the text？
A．Low pay.
B．News reports.
C．Physical health.
D．Fewer workplaces.
（4）Which statement will Eric Dahlin probably agree with？
A．Robots can work as human partners.
B．Job markets will be affected seriously.
C．All human workers will be replaced.
D．Work experience matters too much.组卷：1引用：1难度：0.6

9．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。
Last fall，I came up with a good idea to tell my friend Melanie that she and I should enter
a backcountry ski mountaineering race.The mountain is 40 miles from Crested Butte to
Aspen，Colorado，and it required us to race as a team.Neither of us had ever done a ski race，
but we'd always been good partners on mountain bikes，so I thought we'd be well-matched in
the ski race，too.
However，on our first long training day together，Melanie dropped me again and again.
As she disappeared out of sight on our last climb，I complained to myself，"Why had I come
up with this stupid idea？Why wasn't she waiting？"When I finally caught up，Melanie asked.
"Are you OK？"I opened my mouth to respond and-oh，no-tears began running down my
face.I felt sad and embarrassed（尴尬的）.Crying was a behavior I connected with myself as a
beginner who did most often in the years when I was learning to mountain bike Seeing this，Melanie
said with motherly concern，"I think you need to have a rest and eat something."
She was right.Rest and sugar improved my mood.Finally，we began going down the
mountain together and we joked about my tears.In the days that followed，we kept training
hard for the race day.
Despite the difficult start to our training，on race day，Melanie and I proved to be a good
pair.The race began at midnight，and for six hours we schussed（直线滑降）together as a
team through the darkness.But as the sun began to rise，we found ourselves pushing as hard
as we could to make it to Star Pass，the high point of the race，by the important 7 am.
Unluckily，we lost the race because we were 2 minutes late.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150左右；
