第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） In February, FEDEX launched a robot capable of replacing a pizza delivery driver by bringing food right to your door, which indicates more companies may soon automate (使自动化) not only process, but full business lines.
The types of moves could be disastrous to work. Between 1987 and 2017, manufacturing output grew 80 percent, but the number of workers dropped dramatically. This hit cities hard, leading to shrinking populations and the wide difference between urban places we e now. Numerous studies show that automation isn’t equally affecting the workforce across all ctors. While it has negatively impacted a portion of the economy, it has helped to lift up other ctors, such as computer science and health care.
The real question is how you counteract inequality.
To start with, we should train people with the skills they need. To minimize job loss and embrace positive changes, we need to focus on the great value humans
bring to the table. Jobs requiring soft skills like time management, active listening, cooperation, and judgment and decision-making, and jobs that are in high-touch industries are much less likely to be automated.
We must make joint efforts 阴影的英文
to strengthen and fix the holes in the safety net. While the 2020 presidential candidates are starting a conversation about how to accomplish this, cities are already leading by experimenting with basic income, passing higher minimum wage laws, carrying out paid family leave and driving policy solutions that support workers and families.
In the end robots won’t take all the jobs, but they might take yours. What we do about it, though, is up to us.
