　　[2016·冀州中学一轮检测]Gregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day, but not for the reason that most people would think. He isn't homeless. In fact he is trying to help the homeless.

　　Gregory began his life as a sculptor. But he often felt that his sculpture, which just stood in rich people's houses for years, lacked a meaningful purpose. So in 2011 he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell—not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials.

　　The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn't occur to him until the year 2017, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp (防水布).

　　Instead of a tarp,

　　Gregory

　　offered

　　them something better: a small home with a water tank, a kitchen and a trap for waste. They were so grateful that Cregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city. And soon his “Homeless Homes Project” was started.

　　Before starting a new home, Gregory, goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins. Everything he finds is usable—refrigerator doors become house doors; washing machine doors often serve as windows, and the tops of cars become strong roofs. He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily. Each home takes two to three days to make.
