But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this ove
17、rlooked 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. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face
18、 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 its your own little box.
19、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 pro

Once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You dont have enough space,”Professor B
21、abette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at theFree University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us.

According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day. With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affect
26、s the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, 400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea brea
27、k make up in other ways? One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well
28、if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if theyre often drinking it and then go without, theyll feel tired and wont work well.” Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other pe

And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life.
