Question

A lift(电梯) is very good. It's really only a small room. But other rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts go up and down all day.

Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates(操纵) it up and down. In modern(现代化的) lifts,there is no worker. The people walk in. They know what floor they want to go. They push a button(按钮) and the lift goes up to that floor. It's very fast and easy.

Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs(楼梯) ？Maybe people can climb them once. But can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth floor? Can their mother and father carry food up to all those stairs? Of course not.

We can have very high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful without lifts, because it is too tired for people to climb the stairs every day.
