What's going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become 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.2-1-c-n-j-y
Digital money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital 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 completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.
Bionic eye
It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back—by 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 to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution image could be just a few years away.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won't get distracted by phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors and cameras on the car would allow it to stick reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car driver itself.
Many vehicle companies are now planning self?driving cars. “By 2040, driverless vehicles will be widely accepted and possibly be the dominant vehicles on the road,” said Jeffrey Miller, professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage, US.
1.What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?
A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.
C. Using a credit card is easier and safer than cash
D. ATM cards are always popular.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.
B. Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside.
C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
D. There will be no road accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.
3.Which of the following can be predicted from the passage?
A. There would be a number of self-driving
B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.
C. We would live a hard life with digital money.
D. Robots would control the world.
4.From the report, we can learn some information about ________.
A. industry and farming B. science and technology
C. culture and art D. traffic and journey

Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs Passed Away
Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died on October 5 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting with cancer since 2004. In August 2011, he quit as CEO.
When asked what Steve Jobs is best remembered for, many of us would name a particular product: the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought much more to the world than these popular devices. Some of the lessons he taught us were equally inspiring.
Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor(继任者)he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.
Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head — the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.”Steve was among the greatest American innovators— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.” Said the US President Barack Obama.

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填写表格(每空限填一词)。
Nowadays, there are more and more misunderstanding(误解)between parents and children. And this is called generation-gap.(代沟).
Why are there so many misunderstandings between parents and children? In my opinion, the reasons can be listed as follows. First, the two generations , grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes, and that’s why the disagreements often rises between them. Second , having little in common to talk about, they are not willing to sit face to face. Third, with the space(步伐)of modern life becoming faster and faster, they both are so busy with their work or study that they can’t spare time to exchange their ideas.
But how to change the situation? For one thing ,children should respect(尊重)their parents , for another , parents should also love and take care of their children. All these ways will certainly bridge the generation gap.
