Do you know what will be the hottest jobs in the 21st century? Listen to the following passage. Fill in the blanks.
Tapescript:

Looking for a career change? A decade ago, who would have guessed that web designer would be one of the hottest jobs of 2000? Do you have any idea what will be the other six hottest jobs in the 21st century? Here are some suggestion:

1. Tissue engineers
With man-made skin already on the market, 25 years from now scientists expect to be culturing growing organs in test tubes. Or trying, anyway.

2. Genetic programmers
After scanning your DNA for defects, doctors will use gene therapy and “smart” molecules to cure diseases, including certain cancers.

3. Phamer / Pharmacologic farmers
New-age farms will raise crops and livestock that have been genetically engineered to produce therapeutic proteins. Works in progress include a vaccine-carrying tomato and drug-laden milk from cows, sheep and goats.

4. Genetically-modified food monitors
Not sure what’s for dinner? With a little genetic fiddling, fast-growing fish and freeze-resistant fruits will help feed an overpopulated planet.

5. Hot-line handymen
Still daunted by the thought of reprogramming your video cassette recorder (VCR), let alone your digital versatile disc (DVD)? Just wait until your 3-D holographic TV won’t power up or your talking toaster starts giving abuse. Remote diagnostics will take care of most of your home electronics, but a few repairmen will still make house calls…via video phone.

6. Narrow casters
Today’s broadcasting industry will become increasingly personalized. Working together, media and advertisers will create content just for you. Ambient commercials will also hijack your attention by using tastes and smells.
