technology that 36 old industries and create new ones. We celebrate market disruptions for the overall 37 they generate, but they also present challenges to workers whose skills are rendered 38 . Today, as the age of automation affects more industries, those 39 are affecting more and more people. Attempting to slow the pace of technological change to 40 particular jobs is neither possible nor desirable, 41 there may be no better example than in the energy industry. In the 1920s more than 800,000 Americans worked in the coal mines. Many developed debilitating even 42 health problems. In 2008 national coal production 43 , yet technology had cut the number of jobs by 90 percent. Today, as consumers 44 cleaner and cheaper sources of energy, the societal benefits are widespread: Deaths from coal pollution have dropped 40 percent, and 45 jobs in the renewable energy industry have soared. But this trend has also left coal miners, whose numbers have declined, in 46 positions, particularly since their 47 have been walking away from their pension and health-care obligations. We can both embrace the societal benefits of technological change and 48 the challenges it poses for individual workers and their communities- but 49 we expect government leaders to look forward instead of backward and to develop effective responses 50 pitting groups against one another. There are no panaceas (万能药), including the idea that the wealthy should pay more in taxes, with the money redistributed to support those who lose jobs— 51 I’m not opposed to, if the money is spent 52 . But work is an important part of what gives our lives meaning and direction. Giving people a 53 isn’t the same as giving them an opportunity to pursue their ambitions and fulfill their potential. Industriousness, and the chance to 54 your own destiny, has always been a critical part of what’s made 55 an exceptional nation. 36. A. eliminate B. disrupt C. destroy D. rebuild 37.
