• 2．Artificial intelligence （AI） is technology that lets machines do things that need "thinking." It is a hard term to define （下定義） because AI isn't actually one thing.Rather it's a group of technologies that help machines get，understand and use information to perform tasks.The range of technologies is one of the reasons people use so many different terms to describe AI.In addition to artificial intelligence，terms like machine learning，cognitive computing and deep learning are common.
     No matter which term is used，recent developments have received a lot of public attention.Some have welcomed the technology because of things that AI makes possible.For example，AI will have a big effect on areas like medicine and engineering.But the public attention has also produced a lot of fear and caution.In particular，many are concerned about the effects AI could have on people's jobs.
     According to a recent study，nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI.High on the list are jobs in the producing and mining industries，where systems powered by AI are already performing tasks that people used to do，such as assembling （組裝） cars，digging tunnels and loading materials.In the future，self-driving cars and trucks that depend on AI will also steal jobs for drivers.Moreover，AI systems will do many tasks now performed by legal assistants and accountants.
     On the other hand，AI will also create many new jobs.More people will be needed to write software for AI systems as well as to set up and operate them.Meanwhile，jobs that require emotional intelligence，excellent communication skills and interaction with people will not be replaced by AI.These include jobs in fields like teaching，nursing，hair-dressing and personal training.
  
  （1）How did the writer begin this article about AI？

  
  A．By describing its development.
  B．By explaining the way it works.
  C．By discussing wrong opinions about it.
  D．By introducing terms related with it.

  A．They are still too expensive to use.
  B．They may not ensure passengers' safety.
  C．They do not require human operators.
  D．They cannot offer comfort and convenience.
  （3）According to the passage，which people will most probably still have jobs in the future？

  
  A．Those who provide medical care.
  B．Those who dig in coal mines.
  C．Those who work for railway companies.
  D．Those who run recycling centers.
