阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a hot afternoon in Tallahassee, Florida, in June 2019, and the pool was full of people. Colbi Heard, a handsome 9-year-old boy, was putting his swimming cap on when he noticed something floating nearby. He swam closer and realized it was a little boy. "I wanted to play with him," Colbi thought. Colbi swam around the boy, checking him out. But when the boy didn't move, "I knew he was hurt and needed help," said Colbi.

The boy was Omari Howard, a lovely three-year-old who had come to the pool with his mother, Keyonna, and his uncle Travis. At first, Omari was in the shallow end（浅水区）playing with others. Later, he began swimming across the pool to look for his mother and something unexpected happened. Nobody noticed him for seconds, except Colbi.

According to Colbi's mom, Severia, Colbi has autism（自闭症）, which makes him particularly sensitive to unfamiliar things. Just moments earlier, he had asked his mother when they could go home because he was troubled by all the noise. Severia believed it was his sensitivity that caused him to notice Omari that day. "He's very careful," Severia said. "He's a caring boy, and he's interested in little kids. If it wasn't for that love, I don't think that little boy would be alive today."

Colbi took Omari out and turned to his uncle, who rushed him to his mother, Keyonna. Omari's face was pale, and he wasn't breathing. "My baby, my baby!" Keyonna cried. Nobody knew what to do.

That's when Severia heard a friend cry her name. She turned and saw the sad mother. Severia, a nurse in Tallahassee, ran over. At this point, she didn't know that the boy was found by Colbi. "I just knew the boy didn't breathe," she said. Severia stayed calm and tried to save him. Severia says, "I just wanted to bring this baby back to life."

As many as 300 million full-time jobs throughout the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like ChatGPT, according to Goldman Sachs economists.

In a report Sunday, they predicted that 18% of work globally could be computerized, with the effects caused more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets. That’s partly because white-collar workers are seen to be more at risk than manual laborers. Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected, the economists said, compared to the “little effect” seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations, such as construction and repair work.

In the United States and Europe, about two-thirds of current jobs “are exposed to some degree of AI automation”, and up to a quarter of all work could be done by AI completely, the bank estimates.

Further use of such Al will likely contribute to job losses, the Goldman Sachs economists wrote. But they noted that technological innovation that initially displaces workers has historically also created employment growth in the long run.

While workplaces may shift, widespread adoption of Al could ultimately increase labor productivity — and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period, according to Goldman Sachs economists.

“Although the impact of AI on the labor market is likely to be significant, most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented rather than replaced by AI,” the economists added. “Most workers are employed in occupations that are partially exposed to AI automation and, following AI adoption, will likely apply at least some of their freed-up capacity toward productive activities that increase output.”

Of US workers expected to be affected, for instance, 25% to 50% of their workload “can be replaced,” the researchers added. “The combination of significant labor cost savings, new job creation, and a productivity boost for non-displaced workers raises the possibility of a labor productivity boom like those that followed the emergence of earlier general-purpose technologies like the electric motor and personal computer.”

1．Who are less likely to be affected by AI automation according to Paragraph 2?

A．Repairmen.	B．White-collar workers.
C．Administrative workers.	D．Lawyers.

2．What can we learn about AI according to Goldman Sachs economists?

A．AI may cause little impact on the labor market.	B．AI has replaced most jobs and industries.
C．AI may increase labor productivity.	D．AI has caused huge job losses.

3．What does the underlined word “complement” in paragraph 6 mean?

A．To add to something to improve.	B．To destroy.
C．To introduce new things.	D．To displace.

4．What’s the best title for the text?

A．The Concept of AI	B．The Achievements of AI
C．The Impacts of AI	D．The Development of AI
