17．Forty years ago，Finland was a small，country with mediocre public schools．Today，Finland is still small but no one calls Finland's public schools mediocre any more．
In 2000，the Finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA．Finland has stayed near the top ever since，while the U．S．scores around the middle．
Pasi Sahlberg，an official with Finland's Ministry of Education and Culture，is in Seattle this week to share the story of Finland's success，and what states like Washington can learn from it．
Sahlberg's message，although he is too polite to put it so bluntly：Stop testing so much，trust teachers more； give less homework； shorten the school day．
On Tuesday，in a room filled with teachers，principals，professors，school-board members and policy makers，Sahlberg joked about the Finns'reputation for being a quiet，humble people．"When Finland hit the top of the PISA，"he said，"the biggest disbelievers were Finns．"
More seriously，Finland never set out to create the world's top school system．Instead，he said，the country decided in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a student's success didn't depend on family background．
"Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition．Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores，"he said，"Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals．Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland，and design their own tests．There are no national tests，except one at the end of high school．"
That's just the start．Along with a shorter school day，Finnish students don't even start school until they are 7years old．Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework．
"But Finland，"he said，"succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the U．S．and other countries．And those countries，he said，can learn from Finland，too．"

14．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 unnoticed form of public transport．He is known as the"Elevator Guy"．
"The lift becomes this interesting social space where behaviors are sort of odd （奇怪的），"Gray told the BBC．"They （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．
Newcomers 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．
