This was smething Musk thught abut a lt—hw he might make a difference t the fd industry—but beynd expanding his farm-t-table mvement alng with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet brken the cde. Then he went sailing dwn a snwy slpe (坡) and fell ver, breaking his neck. The left side f his bdy was paralyzed(麻痹).
Musk eventually made a full recvery, but it invlved spending tw mnths n his back, which gave him plenty f time t cme up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative t put “learning gardens” in public schls acrss America; attracted Generatin Z t the farming prfessin by changing shipping cntainers int high-tech, data-driven, year-rund farms; and this year, is starting a new campaign t create ne millin at-hme gardens.
Aimed at reaching lw-incme families, the Millin Gardens Mvement was inspired by the pandemic, as bth a desire t feel mre cnnected t nature and fd insecurity have been at the frefrnt f s many peple’s lives. “We were getting a lt f inquiries abut gardening frm peple that had never gardened befre, says Musk. “Peple were lking t garden fr a bunch f reasns: t supplement their budget, t imprve the nutritinal quality f their diets, r just t cure the bredm that came with the lckdwn.”
The prgram ffers free garden kits that can be grwn indrs r utdrs, and will be distributed thrugh schls that Musk’s nn-prfit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It als ffers free curses n hw t get the garden grwing and fresh seeds and materials fr the changing grwing seasns. “I grew up in the cmmunities when I was yung, in what we nw call fd deserts,” says EVE, ne f the many celebrities wh have teamed up with the rganizatin t encurage peple t pick up a free garden. “What I lve abut this is that it’s nt difficult.

Many peple cnsider msquit bites just part f summer living but these insects can carry diseases. Msquites are actually sme f the mst dangerus creatures n the planet. Accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin, msquites cause ver 700,000 deaths every year.
But there is new hpe in the battle between man and msquit. Scientists at Auburn University, in Alabama, may have fund the secret t stpping msquit-brne diseases. “We have created a type f fabric that blcks msquit bites,” says Jhn Beckmann, wh leads the lab at the university. Beckmann remembered a camping trip frm which he returned riddled with kisses frm msquites despite wearing a lng-sleeved shirt. “Peple say, ‘wear lng sleeves’ a lt,” Beckmann said, “but lng sleeves dn't blck msquites.”
While sme cmpanies are making what they state is bite-prf clthing, the clthing includes sme harmful chemicals r is made f thick fabrics that are t ht t wear and are easily beaten by msquites. That’s because there are hles in the makeup f their fabrics that msquites and ther biting insects can get thrugh.
The key is t discver a fabric that can remve these hles and is still cl enugh t wear in ht weather. “That is the reasn why this prject is nt as easy as peple think,” said Beckmann. “Yu bviusly need yur clthes t be breathable. But that usually cmes at the cst f letting msquites bite thrugh them. S the basic prblem is keeping the hles there while blcking tiny msquit muth-parts at the same time. “The team tried by using a cmputer numerical cntrl knitting(编织) machine that culd be prgrammed with different designs until they fund a bite-prf ne. The end result is a prduct that the researchers cmpare t ppular high-quality athletic wear.
But the researchers are still nt satisfied and will be spending the next year perfecting the cmfrt f the material and finally creating a clthing line. The hpe is that finally any type f fabric can be knitted int the lab’s design, s that all kinds f clthing cmpanies frm baby clthing prducers t dress designers culd create bite-prf clthing.

A. He was badly bitten by msquites.
B. He discvered a new kind f msquit.
C. He felt unbearably ht with lng-sleeved clthes.

A. The ppularity f bite-prf clthing.
B. Disadvantages f existing bite-prf clthing.
C. Advancements in bite-prf clthing.
D. Cmparisns between different types f bite-prf clthing.

A. Persuade mre researchers t jin in.
B. Make the design applicable t different fabrics.
C. Find a fabric suitable fr all designs.
D. Get funded by clthing cmpanies.

When yu think f 3D printing, yu may think f small bjects. But three cmpanies are wrking tgether t print smething much bigger. They’re using a giant 3D printer t create what they say is the first tw-strey 3D-printed huse in the US.
Usually, 3D printing invlves a machine building smething by putting dwn many layers f a material—ften ht plastic. When the material hardens, the layers stick tgether t create a finished bject.The methd here is similar, but uses cncrete.
Leslie Lk, wh designed the huse, says there are special challenges invlved in printing a tw-strey huse. One f the biggest is the size f the machine needed fr the building. The 3D printer in Hustn is massive. It weighs ver 12 tns.
Ms Lk says printing the huse will take the massive machine abut 330 hurs. That’s abut eight nrmal wrk weeks. Thugh it’s a tw-year prject, the team isn’t in a rush. “We are nt trying t beat the clck,” says Hikmat Zerbe, wh wrks fr a cnstructin cmpany called CIVE. Instead, they're using the huse as a “big labratry” t learn mre abut 3D printing huses. They want t see hw the cncrete reacts “under different weather cnditins”. They als want t figure ut hw t make 3D printing faster and cheaper. Mr Zerbe says that currently, 3D printing a huse with cncrete csts mre than building a huse with wd.
With time, Mr Zerbe expects the csts f 3D printing huses t g dwn. He thinks printers will imprve and make it easier t create mre huses quickly. The 3D-printed cncrete huses are strnger and hld up better in serius strms than huses built with wd. This can save mney in the lng run. Since the machine is ding the building, fewer wrkers are needed, which als saves mney.
32.What d we knw abut the first 3D-printed huse?
A. It's newly-designed by Mr Zerbe. B. It is a building with three flrs.
C. It is built with ht plastic. D. It is created by a huge machine.
33.What d the underlined wrds “beat the clck” in the furth paragraph prbably mean?
A. Cncentrate n the task. B. Hit smething suddenly.
C. Accmplish smething quickly. D. Invent smething special.
34.Why will the first 3D-printed huse be cmpleted in a lng time?
A. T better learn the new technlgy. B.T save the cst f building.
C. T free labur cmpletely. D.T make the machine have breaks.
35.What des Mr Zerbe think f 3D printing in huses?
A. Risky. B. Prmising.
C. Harmful. D. Changeable.
