Survival of the Fittest
“Between now and the 21st century，citizens of the world's richest and most advanced nations will find it more and more difficult to keep up with the demand for change.For them，the future will arrive too soon.” So begins Alvin Toffler's book Future Shock，written back in 1970①.
Now people are beginning to pay attention to Toffler's ideas because the speed of change is becoming increasingly fast.It is sometimes difficult to work out the patterns of change②.What should you do？First of all，don't panic.Take a deep breath and try to get a sense of the good things the future has to offer.
You don't need to be Einstein to predict the job areas which will be most affected by such change③.Jobs in farming，coal mining and heavy industry are decreasing rapidly.On the other hand，the service industry，the media and information technology are booming.
适者生存
阿尔文·托夫勒1970年所著的《未来的冲击》一书是这样开头的：从现在起到21世纪，这个世界最富有和最先进的国家的公民将会感到越来越难以跟上变化的需要。对于他们来讲，未来降临得太快了。
现在由于变化的速度越来越快，人们开始关注托夫勒的语言。有时很难搞清变化的规律。你该如何应对呢？首先，不要恐慌，深吸一口气，设想一下未来会发生的好事情。
即使你不是爱因斯坦，也能推测出哪些工作领域会受到这些变化的影响最大。农业，煤矿业和重工业的职位迅速减少，而另一方面，服务行业，传媒和信息技术的发展势头良好。
[助读讲解] ①written back in 1970是过去分词短语作后置定语。 ②在It is sometimes difficult to work out...中it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。 ③which引导定语从句，修饰先行词the job areas。 Without doubt，the number of④ jobs in information technology will multiply.There are currently over 100,000,000 computers in the world and by 2020 there will be 10 times more.Because of this，people who work with computers will be in much greater demand.
There are also many other important changes taking place⑤.First，fewer and fewer people will have a “job for life”．Because of this，workers will have to be more flexible.According to Mark Hastings of the Institute of Management，in the future，people will organise their working life around a variety of jobs，instead of working just for one division or branch of a company.
毫无疑问，信息技术领域的工作职位将会大幅度的增加。目前全世界有一亿多台计算机，到2020年，这个数字将增加十倍，因此，对计算机工作人员的需要量将会更大。
还发生了很多其他重要的变化：首先，那种终身职业，将不存在了，因此，人们必须赋予灵活性。管理学院的马克·哈斯丁斯指出，未来人们将围绕各种工作组织自己的职业生涯，而不会服务于一家公司的一个部门或是分支机构。
[助读讲解] ④the number of表示“……的数量”，作主语时谓语用单数形式。 ⑤taking place是现在分词短语作定语。 Similarly⑥，companies will operate in different ways.People will move around to do different jobs，rather than moving up in the company as before.Many more people will work for small，dynamic companies which can respond quickly to changes in the market.Other people will give up working for a boss and start their own businesses.All this means that companies will require people who are flexible and can work on their own⑦.They will also need people who can work together and get on well in a team.
Good communication skills will be extremely important.According to Dr Laurence Lyons of Future Work，women will be envied because they have an advantage in this area.James Traeger，spokesman of a government training organisation⑧，explains that many men will have to be retrained.“It's not about making men more like women，but helping men to communicate as well.”
Businesses will certainly become more international.English will probably remain the international business language，so don't bother learning Russian or Spanish.However，understanding other people—their minds，culture and history—will be very important.Above all，a manager will need to feel comfortable working with
people from other countries and continents.
同样，公司也将以不同的方式运转，人们不会像以前那样在同一个公司寻求提升，他们会多方去寻找不同的工作。许多人会供职于小且具有活力的公司。这样的公司能对市场变化做出快速反应。还有些人将放弃给一个老板打工，而开始做自己的生意。所有这些都意味着这公司需要的将是富有灵活性和能够独立工作的员工，需要在团队里能够和别人愉快合作，融洽相处的人。
良好的沟通技巧至关重要。“未来工作论坛”的劳伦斯·莱昂斯博士指出女性将受人羡慕，因为她们在这领域占有优势。一家政府培训机构的发言人詹姆斯·特雷格解释说：很多男性将需要接受再次培训，其目的不是令男人更像女人，而是帮助男人能良好的沟通。
商业必将变得更加国际化，英语可能还会是国际商业语言，所以不必费心去学习俄语或西班牙语，但是，理解其他人——他们的思想，文化和历史——将会是非常重要的。毕竟，一位经理需要轻松自如的同来到其他国家和大洲的人共同工作。
[助读讲解] ⑥similarly是副词，表示“类似地”，在句中作状语。 ⑦on one's own独立地 ⑧此处作James Traeger的同位语 New technology is the driving force behind these rapid changes，so don't get left behind⑨. You don't need to become a computer expert，but you must consider improving your computer skills.Work with more than one program in case you have to use them at work，and try to read about new technology.
There is no doubt that⑩ all this new technology is changing the way we work and offering many other ways of working.Rather than going into an office，a lot of people are connected to the Internet and now work from home.Working like this allows you to live where you want，to continue your studies and to enjoy the comfort of having a lot more free time.However，with all this change，let's hope that it also helps the people in poor countries where slave labour still happens⑪. For the citizens of these nations，the future can't arrive soon enough.
新技术是这些快速变化背后的驱动力量，因此千万不能落后。你不必成为计算机专家，但是必须考虑提高自己的计算机技能。学习集中软件以备工作之需，
努力了解最新的技术。
毫无疑问，这些新技术正在改变我们的工作方式，并提供许多其他的工作方式，现在很多人不去办公室，而是与互联网连接，在家里办公，这样的工作方式使你能够住在想住的地方，继续你的学业，并且享受拥有很多自由时间的舒适生活，希望这些改变能帮助一些强迫劳动仍然存在贫困国家的人们改善生活。对这些国家的民众来说，未来发生越快越好。
[助读讲解] ⑨get left behind是“get＋done”结构。 ⑩there is no doubt that中that引导同位语从句。 ⑪where引导定语从句修饰先行词poor countries。
