Even since man began to use the telephone,there 1     new problems arising from the carrying of messages. At first each message was 2      by a pair of overhead wires. As a result,telephone exchanges were soon 3      by thousands of wires. Then cables took the place of the wires,each 4      many pairs of wires. Each cable is 5      to  carry  many messages.  These  cables, 6      underground,have replaced the overhead wires.

The more telephone services develop,the 7       demand  for these  services increase,

particularly the 8      for long-distance services. InChina, for example,this growth is now over 30% every year. Long-distance telephone exchanges are usually in 9     cities,where it is not easy to lay new cables for more services.

The use of radio to send telephone messages and to connect all telephone exchanges makes it possible to 10      overhead wires and some underground cables.

Now man has invented the microwave system. Telephone services are much better than ever.

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 (現(xiàn)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(數(shù)據(jù))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 (探測器)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*

(   ) 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 are 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 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(預(yù)測)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.

A stamp is just a piece of paper with a picture and some words printed on one side and some glue(膠水)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(集郵家).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.
