24、dustrial Revolution.Labors concern over automation arises form uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labor has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase to in

25、employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labor lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize

26、that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.To protect the interests of their members of in era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policie

27、s. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans.

28、ems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on service.

29、 is possibly, however, that labor will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to get the full benefits of automation.31.

34、nt of labor from one industry to another.Passage TwoBotany, the study of plants occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge.

35、day just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but form what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.

36、her plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes.

38、yone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple or an orchid.

39、cher yields the next season the first great step in anew association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rathe
