　　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 what floor they want. They push a button（按钮）and the lift goes to that floor. It is very fast and easy.

　　Lifts are 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? Maybe people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their rooms on the twenty-fourth floor? Can their mothers and fathers 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.
