They are events that occur as the result of many aspects, sometimes far past our control or even knowledge of them. I am also a firm believer in

12、 the laws of unintended consequences one event causes things that are quite unexpected, sometimes positive, sometimes not.

19、ed (雪橇). They can travel around an icy track at speeds up to 140 kilometers an hour. The riders control the sleds speed by changing the position of their feet or by moving their shoulders.So why did the US luge team win a medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics? Most credit must go to Chris Mazdzer himsel

20、f. The American said his win was a product of 16 years of preparation and intense training. But another reason for Mazdzers success could have been the 3-D printing technology, which his team used to make its equipment.The term 3-D is short for three dimensional, meaning an object with length, width

21、 and height. In 3-D printing, 3-D models are first created as files, or documents, on a computer. The printer then uses a substance (物质) like plastic or metal to create physical objects. The process involves making one layer of material at a time until the objects reach full form.The US luge team wo

22、rked with an American company called Stratasys on the designing and manufacturing process for the sleds. First, the company made a scan, or image, of the body of every member of the luge team.
