22、More than 1 billion people around the world are homeless. Now two companies make a plan to help out. They use 3-D printers (打印机) to make new houses.

A printer usually prints things on paper. But the 3-D printer works differently. Before building a house, the 3-D printer reads the picture of a house from a computer program first. Then it makes the materials (材料) soft to make certain shapes. Finally, the printer prints the house out, one layer (一层) at a time.

The 3-D printer is easy to use. Only a few workers are needed when it works. Also, the printer works quickly. It can build a house in one day.

The first 3-D-printed house was built in Texas, US. The house has a bedroom, a bathroom and a living room with large windows. By early 2019, the two companies plan to build a village of more than 100 3-D-printed houses.

Not everyone likes the idea, though. Lawrence Sass, a building expert, said, “The houses may be unsafe. When the wind blows strongly, those houses may come apart easily.”

① It prints the house out in layers.

② It reads a picture of a house from a computer program.

③ It makes the material soft to make certain shapes.

C．③②①

D．②③①

【2】What can we learn about the 3-D printer?

A．It needs a week to print a house.

B．It only works well on hot days.
