It is 6 ：00 am on the first day of the school year.In Cherrybrook Technology High School ，mathematics
teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.
One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三脚架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom.This technology is Mr Woo’s core tool of the trade.“I’m Mr Woo.I record my lessons.I record all of
them.In fact ，I’m about to record this one ，” he explains to his new maths class.
The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed.Mr Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia—a maths teacher by day and an Internet sensation(轰动) by night.

school.Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr Woo’s videos on his free YouTube channel and website ， so he started sharing them across the country and beyond.Wootube now boasts more than 38,000
subscribers(用户) and has attracted almost 4 million viewers worldwide.
Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia ， and making maths popular again.“He has an ability to simplify
mathematics to a level where kids can really understand it ，” Mr Johnson said.
12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr Woo’s teaching style made maths irresistible.“I don’t want to say it ，but he sucked me into maths ，” she said.Owen Potter ，who attends high school in Cobar ，agreed.“It’s difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country ，” he

For the many eager readers who hope to find some solutions to life’s questions through reading ， a
newly-published Chinese-English bilingual(双语的) version of How Will You Measure Your Life？by Clayton
Christensen，a professor at Harvard Business School in the United States，might provide a few answers.It has
been released as part of a series of books ，entitled Harvard Business Review Classics.
In How Will You Measure Your Life？，the book’s author raises three questions：How can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse(配偶) and my family become lasting
source of happiness How can I be sure that I’ll stay out of prison
He then provides his understanding and thoughts into them by using lessons from some of the world’s greatest
businesses.
Christensen’s ideas have inspired a large number of people around the globe.Roan Kang ，general manager of marketing and operations of Microsoft’s Greater China Region，is one of them.He was lucky to have met the author
himself when Christensen delivered speech to Kang’s company a few years ago.
“I agree with Christensen’s point that too many people use material wealth or social status as ways to measure success ， while in reality ， it is doing purposeful work that helps others and improves society that is truly
meaningful ，” Kang says ，adding that he hopes the book will inspire more young people.
Kang,45 ，also supports Christensen’s idea that “your time is the most precious of resources” ，which he says，
is something he learned firsthand while working with Bill Gates.
“After you’ve figured out what your top priorities (优先级) are in life and in your work ，you have to be strict
with yourself and make sure you constantly put your time into those priorities.”

If you’re in a job performing dull tasks，you might think that a robot could do the work instead.But perhaps we underestimate( 低 估 )how much technology already helps with the activities that we would otherwise have to
do.And as artificial intelligence progresses ，we may find it replaces us in the workplace altogether.
For now ，robotic technology is providing a helping hand for businesses ，particularly in manufacturing(制造 业)，assisting humans in performing work more efficiently and sometimes more accurately.For online shopping，for example ，robots have become vital in giant warehouses.They sort and move millions of objects of all different
shapes and sizes ，although humans are still needed to pick and distribute the goods.
The advancement of robotics in the workplace is good for some businesses; the ones who research ，develop，
build and use them.The British government estimates that by 2035 ，artificial intelligence could add around ￡ 630 bn to the UK economy.But there are still tasks that robots can’t yet do ，and that’s the challenge for companies such as Automata.Its co-founder，Suryansh Chandra，told the BBC that his technology will do its best to eliminate boring， repetitive jobs that humans don’t like and aren’t very good at ，and also create new ones that are likely to replace
them.
It seems certain that robots will eventually be able to do more and more of the jobs that are currently performed by humans ， so should we be worried by the rise of the machines Some experts fear hundreds of thousands of jobs could disappear as robots replace human workers.A recent report suggests that 14 percent of jobs are “at high risk of automation” and 32 percent of jobs could be “basically transformed” ，with the manufacturing
sector at the highest risk.
But as complete automation is some way off ， for now we’ll have to work side-by-side with our robot
colleagues—and manage to go hand in hand with them before they learn to kick us out of the door!
12 ．The second paragraph is mainly written to .
A ．show how robots can help humans
B ．name industries suitable for robots
C ．explain why robots can replace humans
D ．explore potential profits that robots can make
13 ．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Para.3 refer to
A ．Remove. B ．Secure.
C ．Rediscover. D ．Create.
14 ．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A ．Possible risks for manufacturing sector.
B ．Remarks on the future of the rising industry.
C ．Predictions about the tendency of technology.
D ．Worries about the future job trend due to machines.
15 ．What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
