My secret for staying young is simple. Put all attention to the most important part of you— your brain,and keep it young and growing. Keep your mind awake and you’ll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you,and stick to learning at least one new thing every day.

No matter how old you are,it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no knowledge before,who made herself into a well-known industrial engineer. I know a retried(退休的）electrical engineer who has become a highly-paid ceramic(陶器的）artist.

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 have already been 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 inSwedencompletely stopped using cash last year,and theUSmight be the 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一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(分辨率）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 help it 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,driverless cars would be widely accepted.

( ) 1. has stopped using cash completely.

A.Sweden B. ATM C. BBC D.America*

( ) 3. Which of the following statements is true?

D. There will be no road accidents 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 stamp is just a piece of paper with a picture and some words printed on one side and some glue(胶水)on the other side. What makes one of these bits of paper worth any money at all ? What makes a ten-fen stamp worth ten fen'!

When you buy a stamp,you also buy service from the post office. You get the letter sent by post. After the stamp has done its job,the post office says it is worthless. You must buy a new one for each letter you send.

But people often pay money for stamps that have already been used. Stamp collectors,or philatelists(集邮家).have fun just trying to collect as many different kinds as possible. Certain

kinds are hard to find. To get one of these uncommon stamps,some collectors are willing to pay a great deal of money. They think it is worthwhile and that gives it value. If you collect stamps because they are especially beautiful or tell an interesting story,or show all kinds of animals,then those are the ones that have value to you.
