You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride．Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it．But Lee Gray，PhD，of the University of North Carolina，US，has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport．He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的)，” Gray told the BBC．“The elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door．If someone else comes in，we may have to move．And here，according to Gray，liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements．He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift，you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you，you go into different corners，standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters，you will unconsciously form a triangle．And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square，with someone in every corner．A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively．Once in，for most people the rule is simple – look down，or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space，” Professor Babette Renneberg，a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin，told the BBC．“Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us．And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small，enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd．“The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact，” she said.

1.According to Gray，when people enter an elevator，they usually _____.

A． turn around and greet one another

B． look around or examine their phone

C． make eye contact with those in the elevator

D． try to keep a distance from other people

2.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

A．

B．

C．

D．

3.According to the article，people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.

A． someone’s odd behaviors

B． a lack of space

C． their unfamiliarity with one another

D． their eye contact with one another

【小题】What’s the passage mainly about _____.

A． Bad manners in the elevator

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out．90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting．But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it．One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting．Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day，and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much．

Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again．Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better．Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself．Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas．After all，that is why we write．

Handwriting involves two skills．One is legibility，which means forming the letters so they can be read． The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it．Fluency continues to develop up until high school．

But not everyone masters these skills．Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting．Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs．

But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school，especially in the early years．American children traditionally first learn to print，and then to write in cursive，which connects the letters．But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board，which administers the SAT college admission test．More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive．

1.From Paragraph 1 we can learn ________．

A． teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job

B． most teachers prefer to teach handwriting

C． teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting

D． a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely

2.The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________．

A． being easy to read

B． being complex

C． being unexpected

D． being unreadable

3.The best title for the passage is ________．

A． How to improve handwriting in school

B． Right or wrong: the death of handwriting

C． Handwriting involves two skills

D． Handwriting lessons are on the way out

4.The author’s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________．

A． negative

B． objective

C． critical

D． optimistic

Chocolate has come a long way through history，and one of the reasons is the Ferrero family，the creators of the world-famous Ferrero Rocher chocolate treats．The history of this family business starts back in the 1940s，when Pietro Ferrero and his wife，Piera，transformed a pastry shop into a factory．There，Pietro and his son，Michele，let their creativity lead them to form the building blocks of the company．Eventually，Michele took over the operation and set his sights on making the best products possible.

Michele's efforts paid off．He turned his father's creations into globally sold and consumed products．One of their most successful products，Nutella，had become a staple food in many homes．The third generation now runs the company．Michele's sons，Pietro and Giovanni worked side by side as managing directors for ten years until an accident resulting in Pietro'death．Still inspired by his family and their hard work and determination，Giovanni is guiding Ferrero into the future.

While staying true to the Ferrero motto of “work，create，and donate”，he is making sure his family's business is an example of success in the past，present，and future.

When Kate's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带）around a bomb”．Such comments seem to suggest Kate had a big influence on the art world of her time．Sadly，she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time．

Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kate suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven．Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older．Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident．Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back．However，the accident had an unexpected side effect．While lying in her bed recovering，Kate taught herself to paint．

In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist．Rivera's strong influences on Kate's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．

Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s，even in her home country．Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953．For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kate's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last．
