听力原文: Accidents are caused; they don't just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune—frustration, tiredness, or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict to avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions made people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure that the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people, who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

For anyone who hates doing yard work, your new best friend may have arrived. A robot can autonomously shovel snow, collect leaves and cut grass.
“We’re trying t o help people not spend time on yard work,”said Steven Waelbers, the designer of t he robot. “We want people to enjoy t heir free time with their family.”The electric robot can run by itself in right directions with the help of two beacons(信号塔) that must be placed in the yard. the robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor (超声传感器) that Waelbers said would stop quickly when it finds pets and people.
Owners of the robot will need t o regulate t he values stored in the robot. then it will confirm the task it’s going to take. Before the robot operate by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard 一 taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes. By doing this, the robot is taught how long and wide the lawn is, and won’t accidentally(不小心) destroy your rose hush or run to the neighborhood.
Once this setup is complete, and the $3,999 robot has been trained on where to cut grass, rake leaves and shovel snow, it operates without any supervision.
Waelbers has always loved to build robots and play with electronics. He started work on a high-tech company after his father asked him to make a robot that would shovel snow for him. Waelbers plans to start sales in early 2017.
