问题     Will robots take over the workforce? And if they do, what jobs will be left for us humans?
    Many discussions take a【C1】______view that the workforce will indeed be【C2】______by robots in the future—and why that is a good thing.
    Carl Bass, the chief executive of Autodesk, acknowledged that workplace automation has【C3】______or reduced many manufacturing jobs, and will continue to do so in the future,【C4】______major shifts in the labor market. Entire【C5】______such as trucking, will eventually be disrupted by robotic【C6】______like self-driving cars, he said.
    But, Bass asked: "Are the jobs【C7】______to automation ones that you would want for your children?" Few parents, he said, dreamed their kids would someday become fuel pumpers or elevator【C8】______jobs already replaced by automation. In the next 30 years, Bass added, smart machines and robots will【C9】______humans on the planet.
    Bass presented some【C10】______ideas to help societies deal with the structural【C11】______generated by a robot-heavy workforce, including taxing economic output rather than income, or【C12】______a "negative income tax," in which governments pay citizens a subsidy in order to【C13】______a level of income.
    "With our【C14】______and imagination, we will find harmony with the robots," Bass said.

But not because robots can’t cut hair—the relationship between hairdressers and their【C17】______simply can’t be robotized(And, some people might be【C18】______of a robot holding a sharp blade so close to their necks,【C19】______plenty of robots already perform delicate surgery.)
    Another job【C20】______safe? Roboticist.
【C15】
选项 A、Hence
B、Otherwise
