Its convenient and safe. but did you know that long ago people were afraid of using elevators?People had been using ropes to move things for thousands of years before the invention of the modern elevator. The ancient Romans moved heavy things attached (系) to ropes pulled by people or animals. Then in 1743, the French king had a “flying chair”. His men lifted the king up to the second floor by using ropes. Although elevators had been improving over time, people were afraid to use them. People liked the idea of an elevator, but they believed it might suddenly fall.In 1853, Elisha Otis invented the modem elevator. He made safety brakes( 刹车) to stop the elevator from falling. Otis had been thinking about peoples fear of elevators. He decided to do an elevator act at a show in 1854. Otis stood on his elevator and cut the rope that was holding it. The elevator fell, but the safety brakes suddenlystopped it. Otis amazed the audiences! Three years later, customers at a department store in New York could travel to the fifth floor by using an Otis elevator.The next step was to improve the elevator ride. People had been feeling nervous about using elevators because they were small and noisy. In the 1920s, elevators started playing relaxing music to cover up other sounds. Then there was a great idea to put mirrors in elevators. The mirrors made the elevator seem bigger and quicker. People could check their hair instead of fearing the elevator!These days, elevators arent scary. Elevators are getting faster, and office buildings, apartments and hotels aregetting higher.

Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while youre drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger (姜) has been used for over two thousand years.

It can reduce thenumber of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you dont mind eating uncooked garlic, its best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.Its no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use as a mouthwash. Whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots(杏子) that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.Although cutting an onion can make you cry, its good for a blocked nose.
