New Careers, New Chances

On May 8, 2025, China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人社部) announced 17 new professions and 42 specialized roles, such as Generative AI System Testers (生成式人工智能系统测试员), Drone Fleet Planners (无人机机群规划师), and Cross-border E-commerce Managers. These roles show a clear trend that digital innovation and personalized services, driven by technologies like Al and green energy, are changing industries.

The rise of new careers means the job market is becoming more dynamic. Traditional jobs are turning into specialized roles, such as Smart Warehouse Maintenance Technicians and Sleep Health Consultants, thus creating new opportunities for young people. At the same time, industries like AI and environmental science need skills in data analysis, robotics, and sustainability.

For high school students planning their futures, choosing majors that match new trends is important. Fields like AI engineering, healthcare management, of sustainable energy are closely connected to these professions. For example, studying both computer science and environmental studies could lead to jobs in carbon emission analysis or smart farming. Universities now offer programs that mix technical skills with creative thinking, focusing on adaptability and problem-solving.

Lifelong learning is key. Fast technological changes mean people must keep updating their skills. Online courses in AI, digital marketing, or special areas like service dog training can give a competitive edge. Platforms offering short certifications (e.g. drone operation training) help professionals stay up-to-date.

In conclusion, the changing job market emphasizes flexibility and new ideas. By choosing

modern majors, learning diverse skills, and committing to lifelong learning, students can build successful futures.

16. What is the main purpose of the announcement made by China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on May 8, 2025?

A. To promote traditional job roles.

B. To introduce new professions and specialized roles.

C. To stress the importance of lifelong learning.

D. To discuss the impact of AI on education.

17. The word “dynamic” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. stable. B. active and changing C. competitive D. challenging

18. According to the passage, what should high school students focus on when choosing majors?

A. Majors that are popular among their peers. B. Majors that match popular trends.

C. Majors that require the least technical skills. D. Majors that lead to traditional jobs.

19. What can we learn about university programs from the passage?
