Read the following passage about human life expectancy and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The world of work is changing rapidly in the 21st century due to advancements in technology,
globalization, and shifting societal values. Automation and artificial intelligence are transforming industries, with
machines taking over tasks that were traditionally performed by humans. While this has increased efficiency and
productivity, it has also raised concerns about job displacement. For example, in manufacturing and logistics,
robots are now handling tasks such as assembly and delivery, which has significantly reduced the demand for
manual labor.
At the same time, new opportunities are emerging in fields such as data analysis, software development,
and renewable energy. The demand for skilled workers in these areas has surged, and many governments and
organizations are investing in training programs to equip people with the necessary skills. Remote work is
another trend reshaping the workplace. With the rise of digital communication tools, such as video
conferencing and project management software, employees can now work from anywhere in the world. This has
not only given workers greater flexibility but also allowed companies to access a global talent pool.
However, the shift toward remote work also presents challenges. Many employees report feelings of
isolation and struggle to maintain a work-life balance when working from home. Companies are experimenting
with solutions such as virtual team-building activities and flexible schedules to address these issues. Additionally,
the gig economy, characterized by short-term contracts and freelance work, is becoming more prominent. While
it offers flexibility and autonomy to workers, it often lacks job security and benefits, raising questions about
workers' rights in this new employment landscape.
In conclusion, the world of work is undergoing profound changes that bring both opportunities and
challenges. Adapting to these changes will require individuals, businesses, and governments to collaborate in
creating a fair and sustainable future for workers.
