Once there was a famine(饥荒).A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them, “In this basket there is a piece of bread for each of you.Take it and come back to me every day at this hour for more.”
In a hurry the hungry children got together around the basket,and fought over the bread because each wanted the largest piece.At last they went away without even thanking the good cook. Mary, a poorly-dressed girl, did not fight with the other children,but stood quietly in distance.When the badly-behaved children had left,Mary took the smallest piece,which was all left in the basket.She kissed the cook’s hand and went home.
The next day the children were as badly-behaved as before. Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got the first day.When she came home,her mother cut the bread open. Many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it.
Her mother was very worried ,and said, “Take the money back to the cook at once.The silver must have fallen into the dough(面团)by accident. Hurry up, Mary” When the little girl gave the rich man her mother ’s message, he said, “It was no mistake.I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize. Always be as satisfied, peaceable and thankful as you now are. Go home now, and tell your
mother that the money is yours.”

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.
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 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(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 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(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.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving 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 to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driver-less cars would be widely accepted.
1.______ has stopped using cash completely.
A. Sweden B. ATM C. BBC D. America
2.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 cash is easier and safer than a credit card.
D. ATM cards arc always popular.
3.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 accident at all if self-driving cars are used.
4.From the report, we can learn some information about ______.
A. culture and Art B. industry and farming
C. science and technology D. traffic and journey
5.Which of the following can be predicted(预测) from the passage?
A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road
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.
1. A 2. C 3. C 4. C 5. A 【解析】 这篇短文主要讲述了将来会发生什么?机器人会控制我们的地球们,科学家们说将来电脑会变得比我们更聪明,在10-30年内可能实现的是:我们使用电子货币;盲人们会有仿生的眼睛;无人驾驶的汽车。 1.A 细节理解题。根据It's reported that people in Sweden compl...查看答案和解析>>
