Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.
There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats. Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.
Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (电器) such as rice cookers which make life easy for the modern house wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.
But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (电工).

(答案→)D 解析：【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了发生意外事故的可能的情况。告诫人们要仔细小心，不要认为意外事故只发生在路上，其实，意外事故无处不在。【小题1】D考查推理判断。根据文章第一段中的It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common.可知，人们认为意外事故只发生在路上或者工作场所是错误的，家庭意外事故也很普遍。可以推知意外事故无处不在。故选D。【小题2】B考查细节理解。根据选项的内容可知，在路上被车撞倒不可能在家中发生，故选B。【小题3】C考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段中的it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (电工).可知，自己修电器是不明智的，应该找电工维修。故选C。

这个解释是对的
