Eating in space is different from that on the Earth. The food that astronauts (宇航员) carry with them doesn’t look like the food you eat.

Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the space capsule (太空舱) ，the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun (枪) .He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.

Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece into his mouth once. There can^ be crumbs (食物碎屑). Crumbs would float around the capsule and get in the way. Meat,cakes and cereal often come in bite size pieces.

Astronauts can't drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth.

Eating in space is hard. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.

 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 jto 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 introduced₉ 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 the next.

Bionic (仿生的) eyes

 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 (传感器) 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,driverless cars would be widely accepted.

   C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.

   D. ATM cards are always popular.

   B. Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside.

   C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
