What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? 【小题1】 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

Bionic (仿生的) eye

【小题3】 People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back — by wearing bionic eyes.

【小题5】

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, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
