Robots have built a big house in Switzerland using 3D-printed materials. It is the first house made by robots for
people to live in. It is more environmentally friendly and safer than man-made houses.
The creators say the big house will inspire the future of building. “This is a new way seeing architecture
（建筑）,” said one of the creators. "How you build is important."
The big house was built completely from robot-made materials. It used 60% less cement（水泥）than
a man-made house. Its ceilings（天花板）were made with a 3D printer. There are 35 parts in the house
and each one was built in 60 to 90 minutes. It means that the robots built the full house in just 48 hours.
It is not the first time for robots to build houses. The Chinese used 3D printers to build 10 houses in a day
in 2014. They created a building the next year. And last year Italians built a house in just 48 hours.
Scientists say one day they could send robots to build houses on the moon. We are curious about
how we're building for the future.

Yuan Longping, a great scientist, is the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice （杂交水稻）
which helps fight hunger in China.
Food was a big problem in China in the past. This was because China had 22 percent of the world's
population, but only 7 percent of its farmland. In the 1960s, China suffered （遭受）serious hunger.
Millions of people died because they had no food. As an agronomy （农学） teacher, Yuan was very sad
to see this. "How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of
hybrid rice. It has a high output（产量）.
At that time, other scientists didn't think hybrid rice was worth studying. But Yuan and his team
worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds.
At last, in 1973， they grew a new kind of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in
many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can also fight disease. Its output was much greater than
common kinds of nice. With the new kind, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year.
Yuan solved the food problem in China. But he is still working on nice. Before he retires （退休）, he
hopes to grow rice in the sea!

You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks. Every Chinese kid
struggles with them for some time. 62 They come with their own special rules and traditions.
63 Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as making noise with forks and knives in a Western
country would be rude.
There are also some superstitions （迷信） related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe
that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense （香）that Chinese
use to honor the dead. 64
You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars do this to ask for food. Parents may get
mad if children do this as they don't want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future.
Apart from being tableware, chopsticks can also be a great gift. 64 Newlyweds（新婚夫妇）sometimes
receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen paint beautiful images on chopsticks to make them
look like fine artworks.
