Americans are very direct people. When they want something, they say“Yes”， and when they don’t, they say “No”.If they want something different from what is given, they ask for it. Here’s an example : I arrive at someone’s house and he or she gives me wine, but I don’t want wine. Maybe I don’t like it or maybe I just don’t want it. I will say “No thanks”. If everyone around me is drinking something, I would ask for something else,“No thanks. But I’ll take a bit of tea if you have some.” It’s a polite way to ask something you really want. If I really want wine, I just say “Yes, thank you”. Unless they happen know the Chinese customs(风俗；习惯)，westerners will not ask you again and again after you to eat or drink something.

A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and down all day long.
Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she
operates(操作)it up and down. In modern lifts there is
no worker. The people walk in. They know which floor they want. They push a
button(按纽)and 
the
lift goes to the floor. It is very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important for us. Why? Think about a
tall building. May
be
it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the
stairs? Perhaps people can climb them one time. Can someone climb
thirty floors to an office everyday? Can small children walk up to their rooms
on the twenty–forth floor？Can
their mother and their father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.
We can have high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts. They are really wonderful.
