23、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

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
【】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
24、A new technology project in southern Greece is helping visitors experience the ancient birthplace of the Olympic Games.
The project used Augmented Reality (AR) to recreate temples and competition areas in the ancient city of Olympia. It was recently launched in the city, one of the world’s major archaeological sites. Augmented Reality is a technology that can project computer-created imagery onto special eyeglasses. Through the eyeglasses, the images appear along with other physical objects in the environment.
The project is a partnership between American software maker Microsoft and Greece’s Ministry of Culture and Sport. The ministry helped Microsoft map and build virtual representations of Olympia. The city was used for nearly a thousand years to host the games in ancient Greece that served as the model for the modern Olympics. The experience provides users the chance to virtually walk through the ruins of Olympia. At the Olympic Museum in Athens, people can also use Microsoft’s AR headsets for a similar experience.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joined a group of schoolchildren who were using the app for the first time. “I’m absolutely thrilled that we’re able to present to the world a completely new cultural experience utilizing technology to recreate the ancient world of Olympia, ” Mitsotakis told the media.
Students from a local middle school looked at statues and structures that were brought to life on their phones. One of the children, Panagiotis Christopoulos, called the project “impressive”. “I think it can help with teaching in schools, ” the student said. They were able to virtually visit inside and outside settings to explore where ancient Olympians had competed in different sports.
The project began 18 months ago with a series of imaging flights to help map areas across Olympia. Microsoft is to build several data centers in and near Athens as part of a $ 1 billion investment agreement with the Greek government.
【1】What can users do with the eyeglasses?
A.Move physical objects.
