I cherish being arund peple wh are ttally cmfrtable with wh they are.There always seems t be an aura(光环) f lve and acceptance that fllws these peple arund.I think it’s because they’ve figured ut ne f the biggest secrets f life: the chance f being lved and accepted grws s much when we can truly say we culdn’t be mre cmfrtable with urselves.
Peple like being arund thse wh are cmfrtable with themselves because they’re less threatening.We all feel the need t prtect urselves frm threats aimed at ur insecurities.Insecurities are like pen wunds and it hurts when peple pke(捅；戳) at them．It can be exhausting t hang arund with flks wh cnstantly pke at us just t gain sme kind f external recgnitin thrugh making everyne else feel smaller.
My favrite thing abut peple wh are cmfrtable with themselves is that they need n external recgnitin.They have discvered their wrth is, by nature, smething that cannt be taken away r added t based n what ther peple think.Irnically enugh, this ends up prviding cmfrtable peple with mre external validatin than thse wh feel they need it mst. Because cmfrtable peple’s wrth cmes frm within, they see n pint in tearing thers dwn.T them, the nly sensible way t speak abut anther is t be psitive.
I guess when yu realize yur wrth cmes frm within, yu might as well build thers up rather than tear them dwn, since their size is f n threat t yur sense f self­wrth.Plus, it’s a lt mre fun t speak lve t thers and watch their eyes glw than it is t hurt smene’s feelings fr a cheap laugh, anyway.When we becme cmfrtable with urselves thrugh fully accepting wh we are, we can silence the nise ur insecurities make in public situatins and enjy the wnderful reality that unflds befre us.
The result is a wrld with fewer insecurities.T me, that sunds like a better wrld.

Whenever we see a buttn, we want t press it because we knw that smething will happen.This is true in mst cases, fr example, n a drbell.But sme buttns are actually fake(假的), like the “clse” buttn n a lift.
Many peple are in the habit f pressing the “clse” buttn because they dn’t have the patience t wait.But lifts’ “clse” buttns are a cmplete trick, at least in the U．S.—the drs will nt clse any faster n matter hw hard yu press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U．S., making sure that all lifts stayed pen lng enugh s that peple with disabilities culd enter safely.Only repair wrkers can use the buttns t speed up the dr clsing prcess if they have special keys.
But t nrmal lift riders, the buttns aren’t cmpletely useless.Accrding t psychlgists, fake buttns can actually make yu feel better by ffering yu a sense f cntrl.
“A sense f cntrl is very imprtant.It reduces stress and increases well­being，” said Ellen J．Langer, a psychlgy prfessr at Harvard University.Experts als added that a lt f buttns that dn’t d anything exist in ur lives fr this same purpse.
Fr example, pedestrian crsswalk buttns dn’t live up t their names either.Pressing them used t help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was befre cmputer­cntrlled traffic signals were intrduced.
But psychlgists fund it interesting that even when peple are aware f these little “white lies”， they still cntinue t push fake buttns because as lng as the drs eventually clse, it is cnsidered t be wrth the effrt.
8．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A． T describe different fake buttns.
B．T explre the functins f fake buttns.
C．T analyze varius habits f pushing buttns.
D．T explain the disadvantages f fake buttns.
9．What can we learn abut the “clse” buttns n a lift in America?
A．They wrk when peple press them hard.
B．They were designed fr a sense f cntrl.
C．They never speed up the dr­clsing prcess.
D．They take the safety f the disabled int accunt.
10．What can we infer abut pedestrian crsswalk buttns?
A．They can make peple feel better.
B．They help cmputers wrk faster.
C．They can cntrl the traffic signals.
D．They help pedestrians crss safely.
11．Which may be the best title fr the passage?
