However, we could be waiting for some time before driverless cars become popular among the public. Scientists say that the technology of driverless cars will not be fully developed until 2040. In the United States, driverless cars are being tested. In the UK, the government had put a lot of money into the development of driverless cars.

The problems include driverless car insurance（保险） in the future and related traffic laws. Today, 95% of all traffic crashes happen because of drivers' mistakes. This means driverless cars will prevent 95% of all traffic accidents. Fewer traffic crashes mean safer roads and fewer deaths and injuries in road accidents. So in about 35 years, driverless cars will be very common on the road and we will enjoy them a lot. ( )1. What does the phrase 'hold strong opinions against’ in the first paragraph mean?

They also enjoy the lowest obesity(肥胖症) rate in the developed countries. Their healthy diet is the secret. “Eating” with your eyes An important feature of the Japanese diet is the visual appeal(视觉吸引) of food. Food with attractive appearance is presented on pretty little dished and plates. This way of dining encourages you to “eat” with your eyes, by enjoying the beauty of the food. The result is that you slow down to savor(品尝) every bite, which means eating less, because it gives your brain time to realize you’re full. Smaller portions(量) In Japan, food is served on separate（分开的） small plates and in bowls instead of on one big plate. Diners take turns having a little taste of everything. Serving smaller portions maybe one of the best secrets for healthy eating and weight loss. Research shows that when we’re served more, we tend to eat it. Plenty of fish Japanese eat a lot of fish. Japanese accounts for(占......的比例) only 2% of the world’s population, but its people eat 10% of the world’s fish. Fish, especially fatty fish, for example, salmon and tuna are Japanese favorites. Eating a lot of fish helps them to reduce the risk of heart disease. 1. The obesity rate of Japan is the lowest in the developed countries, isn’t it? 2.
