passage 1

世界人口正经历巨变,这一切发生在我们眼前。全球 60 岁及以上的人口数量预计于 2050


年翻倍,增长至 20 亿,数量上亦远超 5 岁以下的儿童。

公私部门的一部分开始注意到此现象并拉响警报。美联储第一任主席本·伯南克表示,随着
经济大衰退的逼近,在接下的数十年,总会有一群人影响着经济和社会的发展,但几乎可以
肯定的是在影响因素方面,没有什么比得上人口老龄化。标普早在 2010 年预测,不可避免
的是世界人口老龄化对未来国家经济健康、公共财政以及决策方面影响最大。

此文章中写道:“尽管一些人能够实现经济上的退休,但并非所有老年人准备好退休。没有存
后退休金的老年人不在少数,最后反而走在了其前面。剩下的老年人则选择继续参与社会,
积极奉献社会。

不幸的是关于老人的错误看法层出不穷。比如:老年人会生病,离开人世;老年人的存在是
对公司福利的耗费;老年人无法适应社会变革,缺乏技术能力;老年人并不会像年轻人一样
努力工作,轻松退休。

正因如此,相较于整体的劳动大军,老年人的失业率非常之高,工作时长更长,是年轻一代
的 2 倍。调查持续表明,50 岁以上的人觉得他们就就业市场遭受年龄歧视。某些人称其为“找
不到工作的新人”。

老年人具有丰富经验和熟练技能,尤其是在未来劳动力增长率缓增甚至降低的时候,可以为
整个行业的雇主提供机遇,这不是什么秘密。而且,如果很幸运地雇用老年人,公司会得享
成果,能够给公司战略上加强代际力量的多样性,建立年龄友好型的组织文化。
passage 2

牛津大学的一项研究表明,在未来 20 年,美国会有接近一半的工作岗位受到来自自动化和
计算机的威胁。自工业革命伊始,先进技术一直给许多工作岗位造成威胁;不仅仅是体力活,
人工智能,所谓的第四次工业革命,有望改变专业技术岗位的境况。例如,法律科技的使用
证明在熟练分类分析法律文件方面远胜于高级律师。同样,会计方面的日常工作的完成,在
动用更多高级律师的情况下远不如人工智能。

此次变革是机遇,能创造更多更好的新岗位。英国产业联合会会长保尔•爵期斯勒对未来持
乐观态度。他说:“第四次工业革命对于国家来说是千载难逢的机遇,可在数十年期间在生产
力和竞争力方面取得重大进展。然后,他提醒道,“这种变化的发生速度远超教育体系。下一
代的人需要具备新技能以在人工智能的世界存活下来,更不用说茁壮成长。读写能力、计算
能力、科学研究、语言能力都至关重要,但有一个共同点,即计算机处理显性知识的能力远
胜人类。

风险在于教育界会大量培养不如二流电脑的学生,故若教育重心持续放在代代传授显性知识
上,麻烦会找上门来。人工智能挑战赛不仅仅是教育出更多的人工智能和计算机专家,虽然
那是重要的。它亦是旨在打造人工智能模仿不了的技能,像很多必要的人际能力,包括团队
合作、领导力、听力、乐观态度、交际能力和处理危机以及冲突的能力。这些都是专业技术
知识,不是专有知识。专有知识易于代代相传,易于评估。专业技术知识即难传授,又难评
估。

就业能力的缺口巨大,人工智能的出现扩大缺口。麦肯锡公司调查显示,40%的雇主表示公
司初级岗位的空缺是由于应聘者技能不足。60%的雇主表示,毕业生们甚至没有做好工作的
准备。
passage 3

As our homeland, Asia accounts for 60 percent of the global population and 30 percent of

economic aggregation. Global economy is generally depressed, but Asian economic

development is burgeoning and becomes one of the most prospective areas in

development around the world. Admittedly, Asia at present is confronted with numerous

issues, such as economic recession, sophisticated security, the increase of the

non-traditional challenge to security. Friends in eastern and southern Asia said the the

height of pond increases, so does the lotus and the notion from Chinese that everyone

picks woods helps the fire burn well. Both indicates that win-win cooperation will

something great, good and perennial be made. Asian lasting peace and prosperity will be

realized through win-win cooperation, common development, cultural exchanges,

interconnected people and dynamic economic society.

The cooperation in News Spread education is the essential part of Asian communities

with a shared future. China hopes that more mutual understanding will strengthened

among Asian countries, especially ones along with the Belt and Road, and come together

with Asian nations to strive for development in different domains including Asian News

Spread Education.
