3．What's going to happen in the future？Here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen 10to 30years from now．
1．Digital money
We used to pay with cash （現(xiàn)金） for everything we bought．In fact，we are already using one type of digital money，when we swipe （刷） our bus pass or use a credit card （信用卡） to shop online．
You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pocket for change．It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash on your person．People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year and the US might be next．
2．Bionic （仿生的） eye
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（數(shù)據(jù)、資料） into the brain．
Although the bionic eye that's out now only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes，a high resolution（高清的） version could be just a few years away．
3．Self-driving car
Unlike a human driver，a self-driving car won't be distracted （分神） by a phone call，the radio or something outside the window．Sensors （探測器）and cameras on the car would allow it to keep strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars．This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents．Many vehicle companies are now planning self-driving cars．By 2040，driverless vehicles will be the main vehicles on the road．

Thirty years in the （59）future
Digital money	Advantages	Using cards is much and （60）saferthan using cash
	The future	Sweden stopped taking cash last year and America may follow its （61）example．
Bionic eye	Advantages	A bionic eye can use a （62）camerato"see"the environment and send date directly to the brain so the （63）blindmay have a chance to get their sight back．
	The future	Although now blind people wearing a bionic eye can only see lights and unclear shapes，there could be better ones （64）injust a few years．
Self-driving car	How it （65）works	Sensors and cameras make it possible to keep a safe distance from other cars．
	Advantages	A self-driving car will strictly keep to the （66）roadrules and the number of road accidents will be greatly（67）reduced．
	The future	Many vehicle companies are planning self-driving cars．（68）driverlessvehicles will no longer be science fiction in 30 years．

2．Benjamin Franklin is one of the greatest miracles in American history．Although he never received a formal education，he made important contributions in many fields，including literature，journalism，science，diplomacy and education．
Early Years
Franklin，one of seventeen children，was born in Boston on January 6，1706．After leaving school at the age of ten，he spent two years working for his father before learning printing from his elder brother．When he was seventeen，F(xiàn)ranklin left Boston and traveled to Philadelphia，hoping to open his own print shop．Once he worked as a printer，F(xiàn)ranklin began producing a newspaper and an annual magazine called Poor Richard's Almanack．It was very popular and people considered him as a talented writer．
Man of science
When Franklin was forty-two，he left his printing business to devote himself to science．He proved to be successful again．During his lifetime，F(xiàn)ranklin invented the lightning rod （避雷針） and a new type of stove，confirmed the laws of electricity and contributed to the scientific understanding of earthquakes．With all these achievements，F(xiàn)ranklin is best remembered for his career in politics．
Statesman and Diplomat
Franklin played an important role in drafting （起草） the Declaration of Independence《獨立宣言》，won French support during the War and drafted the United States Constitution （憲法）．In his later years，he was ambassador （大使） first to England and then to France．Even before President Washington，F(xiàn)ranklin was considered"The father of his country"．
Franklin wrote the first part of The Autobiography in 1771at the age of sixty-five．Though never completed，his Autobiography，full of his own opinions and suggestions，provides not only a record of his achievements but also an understanding of his character．

Benjamin Franklin made one of the greatest miracles in American history．
In the early years		He was born in Boston on January 6，1706in a family of （56）17 children． He was never （57）educatedformally and left school at ten． He learned to be a （58）printerand produced his own newspaper．
His later achievements	In literature	He was （59）considereda talented writer because of his magazine Poor Richard's Almanack． His Autobiography is （60）filled with his own opinions and suggestions．
	In （61）science	He （62）devotedhimself to science at the age of 42． He was the （63）inventorof the lightning rod and a new type of stove． He （64）confirmedthe laws of electricity． He contributed to the understanding of earthquakes．
	In politics	He drafted the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution． He won support from （65）France during the War． He served as an ambassador to England and France．

1．Many years ago I lived in a western country．I got my first job in the city and I was excited to go to the office by bus!
I left my home each morning in time to catch the 8：05bus from the main road．One morning I saw an elderly lady walking with a lovely dog beside her．There were some teenagers behind her．
The bus arrived and we got on．Unlike in eastern countries，only eight passengers were allowed to travel standing．I was inside the bus when the conductor called，"Only eight standing passengers!Could the last one to get on please get off？"I saw those teenagers inside，right in front of me!
I thought that I had to get off．I turned and saw the elderly lady with her dog．They were about to get off instead．I moved quickly to get in front of her．I encouraged her to stay and got off．To my surprise，when I moved past her，I realized that she was blind!Her lovely companion （同伴） was her guide dog!
Well，I finally got to the office．After the day's work，I went to the bus stop near my Office to make the return journey．What a pleasant surprise!The lady and her dog were there!I was really pleased because I'd get a better chance to speak with her!I opened the conversation and she recognized my Asian accent!She asked if I was the same person who helped her that morning．Amazing!From then on it was a long happy conversation．
The bus arrived．We got on，and were able to choose any seat as the bus was empty．Our Journey started，and so did our friendship．

20．Happiness is not far away
Happiness comes from the little things in life．Simple ways in our daily life often help the most．It is not a dream for you to make it come true but a shining star that guides you and a mirror that shows you the meaning of life in the world．If you feel that happiness does not come to you，here are the following steps which will lead you there．
To yourself
Start by treating yourself kindly and becoming your own best friend．
Give up trying so hard to become someone else who is not yourself right now．It's better to just be you．
To your life
Walk in the park or along the street with a pet．Balance your life with activities and a good rest．
Play and do those activities which gently nurture （滋養(yǎng)） your own mind．Playing in your garden or filling your home with beautiful flowers is not a bad try and the memory of those flowers will be always carried with you．
Smile as you think about the future．If you smile，you can not have negative （消極的） thoughts!
Concentrate on the positive （積極的） in this world and look for joy．
To your work
Work hard and make efforts to reach your goals，and reward yourself when you are done．
Remove the task that is not useful．We are learning that doing too many tasks at the same time just doesn't work．
Try writing down what is troubling you，discussing your trouble with yourself．The science now shows that as you write your troubles，your brain will change for the better．
By writing a daily thanks dairy，you will feel the positive memory and experiences once more，and by remembering these moments，your levels of happiness will rise．
To your friends
You can write a"happy letter"to your family and friends every day．Just a short note will do．You can do the following：
Monday：Write a thank-you note to your friend．
Tuesday：Write a short letter to your friend about a good moment you have recently experienced．
Wednesday：Write about a nice moment you plan to experience in the future．
Thursday：Write a letter to someone that is important in your life．
Friday：Write three things that went really well today．
Saturday and Sunday：Go on with your daily thanks diary．
If you pay attention to all that is good in your life instead of negative thoughts，happiness will become a natural part of your day!

19．"Get up，get up，Jim．It's time to get up!"my mother said while she was pushing me．I opened my eyes and looked at the clock．"Oh dear!It's a quarter to eight already．I'll be late for school again，"I thought．I jumped out of the bed，washed my face，then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast．As soon as I got on the bus，it started running．"I'm sure I can get to school on time，"I said to myself．Suddenly the bus stopped．The bus driver got off the bus，then got on the bus again and said，"I'm sorry，ladies and gentlemen．There's something wrong with the bus．Please get off the bus and wait for another one．""I couldn't wait．The school is not far．I'd better run to the school，"I thought，and then I began to run．But before I got to the school，it began to rain hard．
I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold．The math teacher had already begun his lesson．It was Mr．Smith．He was very strict with his students and the students were a little afraid of him and so was I．I liked neither him nor his math lessons．I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door．"I'm very sorry，Mr．Smith．I'm late again，"I said with a red face．
"It's you again，Jim，"Mr．Smith said angrily．"I've told you not to be late，but you…"he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes．He turned to the class and said，"I'm very sorry，my boys and girls．"With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me．"Now take off your wet coat and put on this one or you'll catch a cold，"he said kindly．
I went to my seat with Mr．Smith's jacket on．It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it．I found，for the first time，math was so interesting and how well I could understand it!

14．Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person．
In China，you must never give a clock to a Chinese person because the sound of the word for"clock"is similar to the sound of"death"．And a knife is not a good gift．Chinese people think it can cut a friendship．Also，don't wrap（包裝） a gift in white，black or blue paper．For Chinese people around the world，red is a lucky color．However，do you know that in South Korea，red is a color of death？
In Germany，if you are invited to dinner，flowers are usually good gifts to take．But color does matter when giving flowers，especially roses．Red roses are usually for lovers，so you should not give them to a person you don't know very well．You can give yellow roses instead，as these are a symbol of friendship．You can also send pink roses to say"thank you"．Besides，Germans don't take thirteen of anything．But in Russia，it's OK to give thirteen of something as gifts．
One more thing you should remember is a person's religion（宗教）．When you choose a gift for a Muslim（回教徒的） friend，you should never give them pork or wine．
56．AB might be a good gift for a Chinese．
