The ancient road started from Chang'an （now Xi'an） and ended in Eastern Europe，near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.It was about 6 The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road.Silk，jade，ceramics and iron went west to Rome.And from the west came glass The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world.It was more than an ancient international trade route.Besides trade，knowledge about arts，science and literature，languages and cultures developed and influenced（影响） each other.

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 completely stopped using cash last year，and the US might be 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，but a bionic eye can use a camera to"see" the environment and send data 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（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. （1）What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money？ 　 　 A.We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
