Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·重庆八中阶段练习) I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science.When someone hears what I study，I'm usually meant with two reactions.The first is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue.The second is a look of confusion，followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) “Why？” The short answer: I want to be a problem solver，and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person.In addition，I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture. It's the beginning of a new year，and numerous first­years have plans for double or triple majors.However，as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester，college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make up our minds—do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears? The thing I wished someone told me on day one is that if you're passionate about something，it's not going to feel like work.Political Science can be challenging，but to me，it's fun to read the Constitution (宪法) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation. This may sound hard to accept，but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you're in a race with your peers，you're only running yourself into the ground.Don't double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历) ultimately，because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have—whether it is in your study，your career，or something else your study and career will enable you to do. Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule double or triple majors entail，because at the end of the day，it's going to be you doing the homework—so try to enjoy what you're doing along the ride for what it's worth.

The report is based on interviews with 200 experts，business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific，Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states，“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.”Growth in new jobs could occur as much，according to the research.“The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowledge will directly challenge big companies，” it states. A report by Pew Research Center found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.“The optimists pictured a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to Aaron Smith，the report's co­author. “Technology will continue to affect jobs，but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been people out of work，when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” human­computer interaction researcher Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
