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 is sort of odd ,”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, lift users 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
construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.
60．The main purpose of the article is to _____. A．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride D．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
61．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 62．Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?
63．According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____. A．someone’s odd behaviors B．the lack of space
C．their unfamiliarity with one another D．their eye contact with one another

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.
Because no light can get out, people can’t see black holes. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from other ones.
Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or “staff”, in an object.
Another kind of black hole is called “stellar”(星球黑洞). Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. There may be many stellar mass black holes in Earth’s galaxy. Earth’s galaxy is called the Milky Way.
The largest black holes are called “super massive”(超大质量黑洞). These black holes have masses that are more than one million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a super massive black hole at its center. The super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy has a mass equal to about four million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.
Scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began. Stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it exploded part of the star into space. Scientists think super massive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in.
A black hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. But scientists can see how the strong gravity affects the stars and gas around the black hole. Scientists can study stars to find out if they are flying around, or orbiting a black hole. When a black hole and a star are close together, high-energy light is made. This kind of light cannot be seen with human eyes. Scientists use satellites and telescopes in space to see the high-energy light.
64．The gravity of a black hole may become so strong that light cannot get out when ____________.
A．the star is going to die B．special tools are used on it C．other stars come close to it D．it is seen from the space telescopes 65．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．A black hole can be very tiny but extremely heavy. B．The gravity of a black hole holds all light in its center. C．Scientists observe high-energy light through their own eyes. D．Some small black holes came into being as early as the universe. 66．What does the last sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest? A．Neither the sun nor the earth is as heavy as a black hole.
B．There is only one super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. C．The super massive black hole had existed before the Milky Way was formed. D．There is a reason why the large black holes are called “super massive”.
