10．I am not particular about my clothes while my wife minds what I wear．

9．Memories crowded into my mind when I saw the photo．

8．If you live in a big city，there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route，and it's not just overcrowded subway trains．
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong．For her，one thing she can't put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator（自动扶梯） in subway stations．"Escalators help us move faster and save time．It isn't a place to rest，"the 24-year-old says．"I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours．It annoys me to no end．"
Admitting she is not the patient type，Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where"stand right，walk left"signs are often ignored．
The logic behind the"stand right，walk left"escalator etiquette（礼仪） seems obvious．Even though you may want to catch your breath while you're transported up or down，you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry，so that they can run and catch the train．
Many cities'escalators，including London's and Beijing's，use the"stand right，walk left"system to speed up the flow of people．（Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead．） But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons．In Hong Kong's subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to"stand still"on escalators．Even so，most people in this fast-paced city observe the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient．The BBC quotes one stander as saying："If the person is in such a rush，why not just take the stairs？Even when the escalator is packed and there's nowhere to move，I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass．"
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit，do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others：leave enough space between each other，don't stay at the end of the escalator，and if someone is blocking your way，a simple"excuse me"is enough．
33．In the second paragraph，the underlined word"It"refers toC．
A．the author's living in the big city of Hong Kong．
B．being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours．
C．people's blocking the way or chat on the escalators．
D．people's standing on the right side resting．
34．When on the escalator，a majority of local people in Hong KongD．
A．stand still as the railway stations require．
B．ignore the"stand right，walk left"signs
C．use the stairs instead of escalators．
D．follow the"stand right，wail left"etiquette．
35．Which of the following statements is the writer's opinion？B
A．People should stand right no matter where they are．
B．People should do as the Romans do and consider others．
C．People should do as they like on the escalators．
D．People should be seriously criticized when they block the way．

7．The elevator of the future may be just over the horizon thanks to German company ThyssenKrupp．The firm has invented a cable-free elevator （called MULTI） that can go up and down like traditional lifts but the magnetic motors allow it to go side-to-side too．The designers predict that this technology could incrase the carrying capacity of existing architecture by as much as 50%．Plus it looks really neat．
ThyssenKrupp plans to use light-weight materials to build its elevator ears of the future and the lack of a cable winch（钢缆绞车）will reduce weight as well．The ears wouldn't just move up and down as they do now but would instead go in a circle that allows more cars to slip in fight behind the next．The result is that you might only have to wait 10seconds for the next one to arrive rather than wait for the one you just missed to come back down．
The technology backing ThyssenKrupp's MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic levitation（磁悬浮）systems used in high-speed trains．Each car has two magnetic motors-one for vertical movement and another for horizontal．This system can also deliver power to the car's internal lighting and electronics without using wires．
A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power-off．ThyssenKrupp didn't go into detail about safety measures in its announcement but it's safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out．ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a real elevator technology．This should be up and running by 2016but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car．
