men enthusiastic about partnerships that involved cars, while women preferred those
connected to fashion, jewellery and beauty. Unexpectedly, survey respondents expressed a

IS THE FUTURE REALLY 3D PLASTIC?

We’ve got used to being able to print travel documents and
photographs in our own homes. In the near future, we are being told,
we’ll become accustomed to being able to ‘print’ all kinds of goods,
from bath plugs to toys, within our own walls. The reason inverted
commas seem appropriate is that what these machines do is more
like sculpting. 5.1.
It’s easy to see the benefits 3D printing can bring to industry. In fact
engineers and designers have used the technology to create
prototype and experimental products for decades. It may well be
harder, however, to convince people that what their leisure time
lacks is a mini-factory, and that they should make room in their
homes for one. |5.2.| But their capabilities seem somewhat limited
when you consider their cost. You can expect to pay something
around $1,300 for a 3D printer that can produce nothing bigger than
a pair of novelty shoes that are the same colour all over. The
company behind it is presenting it as a way of making toys such as
soldier figures and chess pieces at a fraction of shop prices, even
including the cost of the plastic. That may be so, but the challenge
may be to find a child who is happy to have monochrome playthings
that all have the same texture. 5.3. The downsides are that it’s
the size of an oven and it costs around $2,000.
One of the reasons we should be willing to invest in the technology,
according to the chief executive of one 3D printing firm, is that it has
the potential to save humanity. He says that if an apocalypse
happens, people can use 3D printers to build the things they can no
longer buy.
5.4. Another criticism of his optim istic standpoint is that there
may not be any electricity to power the machines in such a scenario!

44
A. To be fair, there are now 3D printers in existence th a t aren't
much bigger than food processors.

B. It m ig ht be argued, o f course, th a t they w ill only help to

usher in any end to civilisation by encouraging people to
waste the w orld's resources on non-essential items.

C. M ost commercial 3D printers today use plastic to create

objects, but potentially any material could be used, including
edible foodstuffs.

D. They m elt dow n plastic, then discharge it in layers to form a

shape based on a design chosen, or created, by the operator.

E. A leading home 3D printer manufacturers has unveiled a

more advanced machine th a t can build more visually
appealing items by incorporating tw o colours on th e same
design.

T ekst 1.
It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John
and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer. A
colonial mansion! Still, I will declare that there Is
som ething queer about It. O r else, why would it be let
so cheaply? And why had it stood so long untenanted?
John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that
in m arriage.
John is practical in the extrem e. He has no patience
with faith, an Intense horror of superstition, and he
scoffs openly at any ta lk of things not to be felt and
seen and put down in figures.
John is a doctor, and perhaps ... (I w ould not say
this to a living soul, but it’s a great relief to m y mind
to com m it it to paper) ... perhaps that is one reason
I’m not getting well faster. You see, he does not
believe I am sick!
And w hat can one do?
If a doctor of high standing, and one’s own husband,
assures frien ds and relatives that there Is really
nothing the m atter w ith one but tem porary nervous
depression, w hat is one to do?
My brother is also a doctor, and also of high standing,
and he says the same thing. So I take pills and tonics,
journeys and air and exercise, and am absolutely
forbidden to ‘w ork’ until I am well again. Personally, I
believe that congenial work, with excitement and
change, would do me good. But w hat is one to do?
I did w rite for a w hile in spite of them ; but it does
exhaust me a good deal, having to be so sly about It.
I som etim es w onder if my condition w ould ease if !
had more society and stim ulus ... but John says the
v e ry w orst thing I can do Is to think about my
condition, so I will talk instead about the house.
T he m ost beautiful place! It Is quite alone, standing
well back from the road, quite three m iles from the
village. It m akes me th in k of English places that you
read about, for there are hedges and w alls and
gates that lock, and lots of separate little houses for
the gardeners and such people.
I never saw such a garden - large and shady. There
were greenhouses, too, but they are all broken now.
There was some legal trouble, I believe, something
about the heirs and co-heirs; anyhow, the place has
been em pty for years. There Is something strange

about the house - I can feel it. I even said so to John
one moonlit evening, but he said what i felt was a
draught, and shut the window. I get unreasonably
angry with John sometimes. I’m sure I never used to be
so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that
opened on the piazza and had roses all over the
window, and pretty old-fashioned chintz hangings, but
John would not hear of it. He said there was only one
w indow there and not enough room for tw o beds, and
no room close by for him if he took another.
He Is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me
m ove w ithout special direction. I have m edication
scheduled for each hour in the day; he takes
com plete care of it for me, and so I feel so ungrateful
for not valuing it more.
He said we cam e here solely on m y account, that I
w as to have perfect rest and all the air I could get.
“Your exercise depends on your strength, m y dear,”
he said, “and your food som ew hat on your appetite;
but air you can absorb all the time.” So we took the
nursery at the top of the house.
It is a big, airy room, the w hole flo or nearly, with
w indow s th a t look all ways, with air and sunshine
galore, it w as a nursery first and then a playroom , I
think, for the w indow s are barred for little children,
and there are rings and things in the walls.
The paint and paper look as if a boys’ school had used
it. It is stripped off in great patches ail around the head
of my bed. I never saw a worse paper in my life. It has
one of those sprawling, flamboyant patterns. The colour
is repellent, alm ost revolting; a sm ouldering unclean
yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight.
No w onder the children hated it! I w ould myself, if I
had to live in this room long.
W e have been here tw o w eeks, and I haven’t felt like
w riting before, since that first day. I am sitting by the
w indow now, up in this atrocious nursery, and there
is nothing to hinder me from w riting as m uch as i
please, other than lack of strength.
