【題目】 When taking an elevator, do you often push the “close” button? You hope by pushing it, the elevator door will close faster. But what if the button is actually fake(假的)?

Karen Penafiel is the executive director(執(zhí)行董事)of the US National Elevator Industry. She said that elevators’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US, and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.

In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act(《美國殘疾人法案》)was passed in the US. It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled(殘疾的)people to enter. Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys.

But the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists(心理學(xué)家), fake buttons can make you feel better. They give you a sense of control that can help reduce stress. That’s why some other buttons in our lives are fake, too.

For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats(溫控器). People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.

You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster. But they may not really work either.

However, even when people know these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttons. As long as the doors finally close, it seems worthy.

John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US. He told The New YorkTimes that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work?”

1You push the “close” button in the US, the elevator door will ________.

A.close immediatelyB.not be completely open

C.play a trick on youD.not close as fast as you wish

2The US, in order for disabled people to go in safely, ________.

A.elevator workers will press the “open” button for them

B.they will be given a special key to use in the elevators

C.all elevators are designed to open long enough

D.no “close” button is fixed on the elevators

3Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fake?

A.Thermostat buttons.B.Elevator buttons.

C.Traffic light buttons.D.Power buttons.

4There are quite a few fake buttons in our lives because they can ________.

A.control people’s sensesB.help people feel better

C.control the temperatureD.tell “white lies”

5The underlined words “on the off chance” in the last paragraph most probably mean “______”.

A.with the little hopeB.without any plan

C.with a great opportunityD.without any possibility

6The best title for the passage is ________.

A.Button pushing societyB.Useless buttons

C.Buttons for disabled peopleD.Fake elevator buttons
