Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done.All you need is a 3-D printer! The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless.All the user has to do is to design(设设计计) an object on the computer and choose a material(材料材料) to print in.The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer(层层) by layer and like magic the object is produced. The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull.But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use.Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things.The Dutch artist Dirk Vander阅读理解阅读理解Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear. But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器提款机盗刷器).These were placed on an ATM and stole over $ 400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun. But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use.In a few years, youll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!阅读理解阅读理解( )6. invented the first 3-D printer.A.Charles Hull B.Dirk Vander Kooj C.A doctor called Cornell D.Four men in the US( )7.What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer? a.Choose a proper material. b.Press the print button.c.The 3-D printer spreads the material. d.Use a computer to design an object.A. abcd B. dabc C. acdb D. dcba( )8.The underlined word “ criminals ” in the fourth paragraph might mean in Chinese.
