Have yu ever pressed the pedestrian buttn at a crsswalk and wndered if it really wrked?They're called “placeb(安慰剂)buttns”—buttns that mechanically sund and can be pushed,but prvide n functinality.
In New Yrk City,nly abut 100 f the 1,000 crsswalk buttns actually functin.Crsswalk signals were generally installed befre traffic jam had reached tday's levels.
But while their functin was taken ver by mre advanced systems—such as autmated lights r traffic sensrs—the physical buttns were ften kept,rather than being replaced at further expense.Other cities,such as Bstn,Dallas and Seattle,have gne thrugh a similar prcess,leaving them with their wn placeb pedestrian buttns.In Lndn,which has 6,000 traffic signals,pressing the pedestrian buttn results in a reliable “Wait” light.But that desn't necessarily mean that the “green man”—r “pedestrian stage” in traffic signal design prfessin—will appear any sner.
“We d have sme crssings where the green light cmes n autmatically,but we still ask peple t press the buttn because that enables accessible features,”said Glynn Bartn,directr f netwrk management at Transprt fr Lndn.
These features,such as blind tracks and hearable traffic signals,help peple with visual disrder crss the rad and nly functin when the buttn is pressed.As fr the lights,a grwing number f them are nw cmbined and becme a part f an electrnic system that detects traffic and adjusts time frequency accrdingly (giving pririty t buses if they're running late,fr example),which means that pressing the buttn has n effect.
Accrding t Langer,a Harvard psychlgist,placeb buttns give us the illusin (错觉)f cntrl—and smething t d in situatins where the alternative wuld be ding nthing.In the case f pedestrian crssings,they may even make us safer by frcing us t pay attentin t ur surrundings.“They serve a psychlgical purpse at the very least,” she added.
【语篇解读】 人行道上的“行人”按钮以及电梯里的“关门”按钮,你怀疑过它们的效果吗?本文说明了这些被称为“安慰剂按钮”存在的原因。

Ⅱ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Every summer,hundreds f thusands f students travel t ther cuntries lking fr wrk and adventure.Mst f the pprtunities are in seasnal wrk,mainly cnnected with turism and agriculture.The pay is usually pr,but mst peple wrk abrad fr the thrill f travel.Yu can pick grapes in France,wrk n a family campsite,entertain kids n American summer camps,and f curse,there are always jbs in htels and restaurants.
But it is nt as easy as it used t be t find wrk.“Unless yu speak the language f the cuntry,there will be very few penings.” says Anthea Ellis,an adviser n vacatin wrk fr students.“If yu wrk as a nanny with a family in Italy,then f curse yu'll have t speak Italian.When yu arrive t wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris,the wner will expect yu t speak French.”
Nt everyne enjys the experience.Sarah James was an assistant respnsible fr a summer camp grup f frty America children in Eurpe.One child lst his passprt;anther became seriusly ill and was flwn hme;fur children were lst in Madrid fr a whle day;
the whle grup was thrwn ut f ne htel because f the nise they made.“I did visit a lt f new places,” she says,“but it wasn't wrth it.The pay was awful and really was a 24huraday jb.The kids never slept!”
“The truble is,students expect t have an easy time f it,” Anthea Ellis pints ut.“After all,they see it as a hliday.In practice,thugh,yu have t wrk hard.At the same time,all vacatin wrk is casual wrk.Yu'll have a jb when the htel,the restaurant,r the campsite is busy and yu have few emplyment rights.As sn as the hliday seasn finished,they'll get rid f yu.If yu dn't wrk hard,r if yur emplyer desn't like yu,yu'll get fired.”
【参考范文】
Many students seek vacatin wrk abrad every summer fr the excitement f travel while wrking.(要点1) Hwever,language is smetimes a barrier when yu seek jbs verseas.(要点2)Meanwhile,sme students dn't think it wrthwhile,like Sarah,wh was very disappinted at her experience because f tiring heavy wrk and lw pay.(要点3) Wrse still,vacatin wrk is infrmal and temprary,meaning that yu can be easily ut f wrk.(要点4)
