Since ancient times it has been known that your word is a cause set in motion. In fact, the universe itself is claimed to have emanated from a single primordial sound. In the science of yoga, it is believed that certain Sanskrit words, known as mantras, can bring about magical results, thus you can secure abundance with a certain mantra, peace with another, and so on. On a more practical level, your word still remains highly potent. With your words, you can wound someone, sending them into spirals of defeat, and with your words you can heal someone, raising them up from a dismal place to soaring hope and motivation. In fact, the entire field of self-improvement is the transmission of words that will assist others to get a firm perspective and move forward with their lives, fulfilling their dreams and desires. On a personal level, too, your words affect you. What you say to yourself about anyone or anything affects you, too. If you speak well of someone or something, you bring more of that harmony into your life. And if you speak ill of someone or something, you bring more of that frustration and anger and conflict into your life. Psychological literature often speaks of numerous cases where a parent’s words, spoken casually, can affect the destiny of a child. And the most potent words that a parent can use to affect a child are those spoken at-the time of dying since these are the last words, and the moment is so highly-charged and the awareness so acute, these words become an imperative that the child now feels obligated to never disown. Words are further charged with the emotion behind them. The stronger the emotion, the more highly charged the words. Many a love affair has fallen by the wayside because of emotionally charged words, which are later regretted. Despite all this, people use words with the utmost casualness. People wreck their own lives and that of others through the careless use of words. They also accept the words of others as a given truth, when, in fact, all comments by others are merely opinion. Words are causes set in motion. They are reality-creators. The most marvelous aspect of words is how they can bend time. The brilliantly crafted words of Shakespeare or the eloquence of Martin Luther King still shape our lives. Words are so sacred that whole buildings are used to archive them and make them available for reading. A person can rise from poverty to wealth, from sickness to health, and from loneliness to loving companionship simply through exposing themselves to the most beneficial stream of words. Words not only steal hearts, but shape reality as well. The earth can be a better place because of your choice of words. You can fill lives with the miracles of your words. You can be an agent for positive change and bring out the best in yourself and others simply by how you use words. Words are psychic shape-shifters, use them wisely. By saying "your word is a cause set in motion", the author means ______.
A. words are changeable from time to time
B. words can have great influence on other things
C. the same word can have different meanings for different people
D. words can lead to magic results

某工厂铸造车间配砂组老工人张某,经常早上提前上班检修混砂机内舱,以保证上班时间正常运行。某年某月某日7点20分,张某来到车间打开混砂机舱门,没有在混砂机的电源开关处挂上“有人工作,禁止合闸”的警告牌便进入机内检修。他怕舱门开大了影响他人行走,便将舱门带至仅留有150mm缝隙。7点50分左右,本组配砂工人李某上班后,没有预先检查一下机内是否有人工作,便随意将舱门推上,顺手开动混砂机试车,当听到机内有人喊叫时,大惊失色,立即停机,但滚轮在惯性作用下继续转动,混砂机停稳后,李某与刚上班的其他职工将张某救出,但张某头部流血不止。事故发生后车间领导立即上报,7点55分,工厂卫生所医务人员闻讯立即赶到现场,对张某进行了止血包扎,并立即将张某送往医院救治,但由于张某头部受伤严重,经抢救无效于8点40分死亡。 根据以上场景,回答下列问题: 请对上述案例中的事故原因进行简要的分析。

The official logo of the Information Awareness Office, the Pentagon’s secretive new terrorist-detection experiment, isn’t subtle. A picture of the globe, under the watchful gaze of that spooky pyramid on the dollar bill, the one with the all-seeing eye of God at the top underling that, the project’s motto: SCIENTIA EST PPOTENTIA (Knowledge Is Power). All in all, not a bad description of the office’s lofty--and controversial--ambition. Quietly created after the September 11 attacks, the office’s Total Information Awareness project aims to enable federal investigators to engage in a kind of super "data mining"--inventing software to trawl through commercial and government computer databases in search of suspicious patterns that might indicate terror plans. The September 11 hijackers, for instance, enrolled in flight schools, rented apartments, used credit cards and bought airline together. The details of all these transactions were routinely stored in various companies’ computers. The Feds argue that if they had had the ability to scan the computers that logged the terrorists’ movements and purchases, they might have been able to connect the dots between the men. Yet from the day the research program was launched at the start of the year, it has been the target of intense suspicion, from both right and left. In order to identify possibly conspiratorial behavior by a few individuals, the computers would have to sift through the personal information of millions of innocent people--without their knowledge or consent. Potentially, the government could keep track of what you buy, whom you call, where you travel--just by tapping into the files that various businesses already keep on you. Advocates insist safeguards will be built into any search system, but critics are not reassured. "Put the pieces together, and you could build a capability to track the city-to-city movements of any citizen," said the ACLU’s Katie Corrigan. The project’s PR hasn’t been helped by the fact that its leader is retired Navy Adm. John Poindexter, best known for his part in the Iran-contra affair. Poindexter was convicted of lying to Congress about the Regan administration’s plan to divert profits from Iranian anus sales to fund the Nicaraguan rebels. His conviction was later overturned, but that doesn’t modify those worried about his return to power at the helm of such a sweeping program. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld brusquely waved off the criticism. "I would recommend people take a nice deep breath," he said. "Nothing terrible is going to happen." But on Capitol Hill Democrats and some Republicans--including retiring House Majority Leader Dick Armey--are concerned that the project is part of a wider White House strategy of to erode civil liberties in pursuit of security. (A court recently granted the government expanded surveillance power.) They are especially irritated that they knew nothing about the $10 million experiment, since the Pentagon quietly buried it under "technology development" in the Defense bill. Now they’re demanding greater scrutiny. Democratic Sen Dianne Feinstein says she wants to freeze the program’s funding until Congress can hold hearings. Poindexter may not be able to ignore the rumblings. "He forgot the question you always ask," says one Pentagon official. "How would this look on the front page tomorrow\ Which of the following statements about the Total Information Awareness project is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. The project enables the Feds to identify every terror plan.
B. The project was created after the September 11 attacks.
C. Intense suspicion has been put on the project.
D. The project is headed by Iran-contra’s Poindexter.
