Have you tried painting by numbers Paint-by-numbers is a picture which has
many parts with numbers. This has made it easier for people to paint because they
only have to paint in each part with its color.
Dan Robbins is the inventor of paint-by-numbers. After World War Ⅱ, he worked
for Palmer Paint. Working in the paint company helped him make the first paint-
by-numbers. The idea came from Leonardo da Vinci. While painting, Da Vinci often
divided the picture into different parts and numbered them, so his students could
complete the painting later.
Robbins used this idea and decided to make something that everyone could enjoy.

After working hard for some time, Robbins created paint-by-numbers. At first,
sales of the product were low. But in 1951, after a show in New York, paint-by-
numbers became very popular. In 1955, sales reached 20 million dollars. Paint-by-
numbers is not only popular with children, but adults also enjoy it in their free
time. Dan Robbins retired（退休)in 1973 and died in 2019. Till this day, his paint-
by-numbers is still popular around the world.

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 in cash (现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a
credit card (信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without 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 introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But
now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that people in Sweden have
almost stopped using cash, and the US might 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－by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, it can also 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 (高清的) 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 Sensors (探测器) and cameras on

the car will allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe
distance from other cars. This will greatly reduce (减少) the number of road
accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future,
driverless cars will be widely accepted.

most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the
southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest
and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters high, so it is very dangerous to
climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious
difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. (43)It is also
very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May
29,1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960,while the first woman to succeed
was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
Why do so many climbers risk their lives (44)One of the main reasons is that
people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of
these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.
It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.
