22、tre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The center of American automobile innovation has in the past decade moved 2,000 miles away. Ithas26from Detroit to Silicon Valley, where self-driving vehicles are coming to life.In a 27to take production back to Detroit, Michigan lawmak
23、ers have introduced28 that could make their state the best place in the country, if not the world, to develop self-driving vehicles and put them on the road.“Michigans29in auto research and development is under attack from several states and countries who desire to 30 our leadership in transportatio
24、n. We cant let that happen,” says Senator Mike Kowall, the lead 31of four bills recently introduced.If all four bills pass as written, they would32a substantial update of Michigans 2013 law that allowed the testing of self-driving vehicles in limited conditions. Manufacturers would have nearly total
25、 freedom to test their self-driving technology on public roads. They would be allowed to send groups of self-driving cars on cross-state road trips, and even set up on-demand 33 of self-driving cars, like the one General Motors and Lyft are building.Lawmakers in Michigan clearly want to make the sta

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Iden
28、tify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Work Will Change When Most of Us Live to 100A)Today in the United States there a
29、re 72,000 centenarians (百岁老人). Worldwide, probably 450,000. If current trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone. According to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies born in the US in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more.
30、Broadly the same holds for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B)Understandably, there are concerns about what this means for public finances given the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real, and society u
31、rgently needs to address them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for 100 years. It is a mistake to simply equate longevity (长寿) with issues of old age. Longer lives have implications for all of life, not just the end of it.C)Our view is th
32、at if many people are living for longer, and are healthier for longer, then this will result in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live longer, they are not only older for longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that “70 is the new 60” or “40 the new
33、30”. If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some sense younger for longer.D)But the changes go further than that. Take, for instance, the age at which people make commitments such as buying a house, getting married, having children, or starting a career. These are all fund
34、amental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americans were married by age 21. By 2014, that milestone (里程碑) had shifted to age 29.E)While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surely a growing realization for the young that they are going to live
35、 longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can be held. So if you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and early commitment becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed,
36、and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F)Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only for financial reasons. Yes, unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s, then
37、 you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of potential inactivity is harmfu
38、l to cognitive (认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G)And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing. Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life, but such persistent work
39、 will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills, vitality, happiness, and friendship.H)The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education, administered inchildhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60-year career. If
40、 you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills.I)It seems likely, then, that the traditional th
41、ree-stage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creating a better work/life balance, still anoth
42、er on exploring and understanding options more fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on making a social contribution. These stages will span sectors, take people to different cities, and provide Foundation for building a wide variety of skills.J)Transitions between stages could be
43、marked with sabbaticals (休假) as people find time to rest and recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times, these breaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist.K)A mult
44、i-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many. That is why bein
45、g self-aware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills.L)These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible
46、sequences.M)With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. In a three-stage life, people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers and family at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time,
47、and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 70; and become an independent producer atany age.N)Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed by continuous work, and then complete retirement may
