C What‘s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our pla? Will puters bee smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC. Digital money We used to pay with cash(现金 ) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡 ) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital(电子的 ) money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash. When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it‘s hard to live without them. It‘s reported that people in Sweden pletely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next. Bionic(仿生的 ) eye It‘s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight backby wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to ―see‖ the environment and send data(数据 ) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(高清的 ) image could be just a few years away. Selfdriving cars Unlike a human driver, a selfdriving car won‘t get distracted(分神 ) by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器 ) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly (严格地遵守 )to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce（减少） the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted. 66. ______ has stopped using cash pletely. A. Sweden B. ATM C. BBC D. America 67. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money? A.

Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败 ) bees an experience that means growth. We fet that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as ―perfect‖ even。
