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.

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they

find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom

have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for

perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient

with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original

ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can

only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if

it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does

sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient

buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn

from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to

imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.

A. they are aged

B. they find it hard to accept modern things

C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek

D. they look at things by the standards of the past
