A new era is upon us.Call it what you will:the service economy,the information age,the knowledge society.It all translates to a basic change in the way we work.Already we are there now.The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen fortunately in the Western World.Today the majority of jobs in America,Europe and Japan(two thirds or more of these countries) are in the service industry,and the number is on the rise.More women are in workforce than ever before.There are more part-time jobs.More people are self-employed.But the wideness of the economic change can’t be measured by numbers alone,because it also is giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself.Long-held views about jobs and careers,the skills to succeed,even the relation between individuals and employers—all these are being challenged.

We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead.No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention the chip,would change our world,thanks to its use in personal computers,digital biotechnology,artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of unexpected changes.But one thing is certain:information and knowledge will become even more important,and the people who have it,whether they work in manufacturing or services,will have the advantage and problems by vices will be predominant.It will be the way you do your job.

Violent computer games have been strongly connected with aggression in teenager boys in a study that shows the machines are increasingly becoming substitutes (替代品) for friendship.

　 The research provides powerful support to the doubt that actual violence could be one of the factors behind the crimes of aggression including young people. John Colwell, a lecturer at Middlesex University, who carried out the research, said aggression in boys seemed to increase with the amount of playing such games. “There are many facts to suggest there is a connection between playing computer games and aggression,” he said.

　 Previous studies have shown only a certain relation between such games and aggression. This conclusion was uncertain because it could mean that children who played the games did so because they had shown a sign to violence. Colwell’s work shows, however, that there is a strong link, meaning that playing such games makes children more aggressive. He reached his conclusions after studying the behaviour of 204 pupils aged 12-14 from a school in north London.

　 Children became obviously more aggressive the longer they had been playing violent games. They shouted, pushed and hit other children. Those who played in occasional bursts showed little effect. All the children spent many hours playing such games. Nearly 97% of boys and 88% of girls were regular users. Almost the boys, the heaviest computer users tended to have the fewest friends and reported seeing their machine as a friend.

　 B. He studied the behaviour of over two hundred children in a school.

　 C. He studied almost 80% of girls’ actions.

　 D. He often talked to those little computer users in his home.

4. Which of the following words can best replace the word heaviest in the passage?
