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

B． Some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C． An interesting but awkward elevator ride

D． The strange behaviors in the elevator

By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work．This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study．Many students muddle along，doing a bit of this subject or that，as the mood takes them，or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.

Few students work to a set timetable．They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it，or would have to change it frequently，since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.

No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others．There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable，and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work．Many able students state that they work in cycles．When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time．On other days they avoid work completely．It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work．Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine，and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work．The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally，under the influence of inspiration.

Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”．Freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”．Our society insists on regular habits，timekeeping and punctuality (being on time)，and whether we like it or not，if we mean to make our way in society，we have to meet its demands.

1.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is __________ .

A． changing from one subject to another

B． the failure to keep to a set timetable of work

C． the unwillingness to work out a systematic plan

D． working on a subject only when one feels like it

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A． Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.

B． Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.

C． Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.

D． Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.

3.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” means __________.

A． when they have the energy

B． when they are in the mood

C． when they feel fit

D． when they find conditions suitable

4.A suitable title for the passage might be __________.

A． Attitudes to Study

B． A Study Plan

C． The Difficulties of Studying

D． Study and Self-discipline

Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics，as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas．These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.

The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic．They also look into exponents(指数)，the order of operations，and square roots．In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations，students discover why these operations work，how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics，and how these operations can be used practically.

Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones，so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students．The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening．They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.

By the conclusion of the course，students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition，they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.
