29、二专题练习）Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates caught peoples eye in a recent interview, when he suggested that robots should be taxed in order to help humans keep their jobs.

Taxing new technology, however its done, could make that slowdown worse.The problem with Gates basic _72_ is that its very hard to tell the difference between new technology that complement humans and new technology that replaces th

36、em. This is especially true over the long term. Power looms（织布机）replaced human weavers back in the Industrial Revolution. _73_, people eventually became more productive, by learning to operate those looms. If taxes had slowed the development of power looms, the eventual (最终的) improvements would have

37、 come later. This is a powerful argument _74_ the taxation of automation.
