题目： 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 to help people not spend time on yard work,” said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their 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 to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it's going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard — 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 destroy your rose bush 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. @@@This article mainly talks about _________.

题目： Parenting is hard. If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working on this for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both the kids and me. If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them! One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect – taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understand each other. If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listen to you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they're not going to be perfect. @@@As a parent, you may know that parenting is an easy job.

题目： 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 to help people not spend time on yard work,” said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their 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 to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it's going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard — taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes.

题目： Parenting is hard. If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working on this for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both the kids and me. If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them! One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect – taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understand each other. If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listen to you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they're not going to be perfect. @@@As a parent, you may know that parenting is an easy job.
