问题     The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution, but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and slow recoveries. Since technology has such a big【S1】______for eating up human jobs, this phenomenon will continue to restructure our economy in ways we can’t immediately foresee.

In our【S9】______changing economy, we more than ever need people in the workplace who can take initiative and exercise their imagination to respond to【S10】______events. That’s not something machines are good at. They are designed to perform very predictable activities.
