A
Before the elevator was invented in the late 1800s，buildings were much smaller and lower，as people did not want to walk up and down stairs(楼梯)all day．With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers．
Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room．It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride．
When the elevator doors open，stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in．Even if you are in a hurry，it’s impolite to push someone so that you can get into an elevator．
Don’t stare at(盯着看)people or stand too close．Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable．
If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator，say“Excuse me，please”or“I’m sorry”rather than just push them out of the way．Others will think you’re welcome if you show some politeness．
If you are standing close to the buttons(按钮)，ask others what floors they are going to and press the buttons for them．This is considered to be polite．

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技术) will change all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94％ correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!
