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 man­made houses.

The creators say the big house will inspire the future of buildings. “This is a new way of seeing architecture(建筑),” said one of the creators. “How you build is important.”

The big house was built completely from robot­made materials. It used 60% less cement(水泥) than a man­made 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.

【1】The big house is the first house made by robots.

【2】The big house does less harm to the environment than man­made ones.

【3】The 35 parts of the big house were built from robot­made materials.

【4】The Chinese created a 3D­printed building in just 48 hours in 2014.

26、   Cheetahs（猎豹）live on other animals they find in Africa. For this reason, most people are afraid of them. However, one family in South Africa is keeping a cheetah as a household pet.

The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie. She is surely the VIP at Magda and Japie Pienaar's home. She can often be found eating from the kitchen table or napping（打盹）on the sofa. Sometimes, she can even be found sleeping on the couple's bed. The big cat likes to play with the Pienaars' other pet — the more usual one — a German Shepherd. An unlikely friendship has developed between these two animals.

Having a cheetah as a pet is, of course, unusual. At first, Mrs. Pienaar was unwilling to keep a cheetah as a pet. "I really hated the idea of getting a cheetah as a pet," she said. "But we are now glad that we did it — she is part of the family," she added.

And just like Angelina Jolie, four-year-old Jolie the cheetah has risen to fame in the Pienaars' hometown. Fans often come to the couple's home to take pictures of her. Interestingly, Jolie seems to enjoy all the attention.

However, a cheetah is always a cheetah. Although Jolie is now a household pet, she hasn't totally gotten rid of her wild nature. "She makes a big mess in the house. She urinates（排尿）everywhere and chews on everything," complained Mrs. Pienaar. "It's just her instincts, perhaps."

So there might be some problems with having a cheetah as a pet in the house. However, some unusual fun must also be waiting ahead!

A.eat meat B.live in Asia C.make most people happy D.live with many families

C.She thought over the idea. D.She felt excited about the idea.
