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 10﹣30 years from now， according to the BBC．
Bionic（仿生的） Eyes
They are no longer something only in a science fiction movie．People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly﹣by wearing bionic eyes．
A blind eye can no longer sense sight， but a bionic eye can use a camera to "see" the environment and send information to the mind．Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes．A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away．
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bough．Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop，money is spent without seeing it．That means we are already using digital money．People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go．Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change．It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash．
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year， and the US might be the next．
Self﹣driving Cards
Unlike a human driver， a self﹣driving car won't be influenced by a phone call，the radio or something outside the window．Sensors（探测器） and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars．This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller．You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself．In the future， driverless cars would be widely accepted．

traffic and journey |

science and technology |

culture and art |
（4）The passage tells us that ．

bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films |

Li Jing prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will keep her attention．She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers．Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes．
Tian Lishan，14，at No.7 High School thinks online interaction（互动） isn′t enough．"The online teachers don't really get to know me．When I don't hand in homework， all I get is a short message instead of real concern， "she said．
However， online classes still have advantages．"It saves time and money compared with taking of line classes．Also， if I don't understand some part of a lesson， I can watch it over again．"Li Jing said．
