Negative.CWhenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some b
29、uttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons are a complete scam (骗局), at least in the US the doors will not close any faster n
30、o matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.

40、a cone-shaped (锥形的) net, whose holes measure 330 microns (微米) wide, about the width of two to three strands of human hair.

42、beads, which are small plastic scrubbers found in face wash, toothpaste and cleaning products. Microbeads in particular are a major source of microplastics pollution worldwide.
