Text 1 A new era is upon us.Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, and the knowledge society.It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work.Already we’re partly there.The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the “industrialized world”.Today the majority of jobs in the United States, Europe and Japan(two thirds or more in many of these countries)are in the service sector, and the number is on the rise.More women are in the workforce than ever before.There are more part-time jobs.More people are self-employed.But the breadth of the economic transformation can’t be gauged by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself.Long-held aumptions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relationship between individuals and employers----all these are being challenged.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead.No one looking ahead 20 years ago poibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the microchip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots.Tomorrow’s break through in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of innovations.But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who poe it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth.Computer literacy will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write.The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of pursuing rote task will be

valued above all else.译文：一个新时代向我们走来，你可以叫成：服务经济，信息时代，知识社会。一句话，都说明了我们工作方式的根本变化。事实上我们已经开始进入这个时代。西方社会依靠制造产品谋生的人数比例急剧下降了。今天，在美洲、欧洲和日本，大多数人（这些国家中有许多国家已高达三分之二以上）从事服务业，而且人数还在增加。跟从前相比，妇女从业的人数增加了，兼职工作增加了，个体经营者增加了。但是，经济变革幅度的衡量不能只凭数字，因为经济变革同时也引发了对工作本质的全新思维。有关工作和职业生涯、获得成功所必须的技能、乃至个人与雇主的关系，种种传统的观念正在受到挑战。
我们只要回顾从前，就可以对未来有所了解。没有那一位展望未来20年的人能够预料到硅片这样一项发明，因其在个人电脑、数字通讯和工业机器人中的应用，会给我们的世界带来的种种变化。明天在生物技术、人工智能或者有些迄今为止甚至难以想象的技术方面所取得的成就，可能会引起类似的急剧变化。但有一点是肯定的：信息和知识将变得更加重要，而拥有信息和知识的人们，无论他们从事制造业或者服务业，将会具有优势并创造财富，计算机技术将与读写能力一样成为一种基本要求。运用信息解决问题的能力，而不是日常工作的完成，将尤其受到重视。展望未来10年，信息服务将支配一切，将成为你的工作方式。
Text 2 We all want every human being to be able to enjoy a reasonable standard of living, but conventional belief is that this can be achieved by economic development.The snag is that you cannot have economic growth without further increasing the exploitation of natural resources.The world’s ecology is finite.It is an inescapable fact that long—term survival depends on keeping a balance between economic growth and the sustainable exploitation of the world’s dwindling natural resources.This is going to be difficult enough to achieve, but it will be quite impoible if the national and international aid agencies only invest in economic development, and leave the conservation of natural resources and help for population control to voluntary agencies.译文：我们都希望每个人能够享受合理的生活标准，但传统的理念是这可以通过经济发展来实现。问题在于，没有自然资源的进一步开发是很难实现经济增长的。世界的生态资源是有限的。长期依赖保持经济增长和逐渐减少的自然资源的可持续开发之间平衡而生存，这是一个不可避免的事实。这将是非常困难达到的，如果国家和国际援助机构只投资于经济发展，放任对自然资源的保护和志愿机构对人口的控制，但它会是相当不可能的。
