   城市生活步調快速，而手扶梯對忙碌的通勤者來說宛若救世主一般。許多地方的手扶梯上都有個潛規則，就是右側站立、左側通行。普遍認為這個做法讓行人往來順暢且避免阻塞。
   開車時，車速較慢的車子必須開在外側車道，這樣那些車速較快的車就能從內側車道通行。就跟將不同車速的車輛分開的交通道路一樣，手扶梯上這樣的傳統兼顧效率及禮貌。想要站著的人在移動中可以休息，而那些趕時間的人則可以在不干擾任何人的情況下輕易地從左邊通過。這樣的制度反映了促進共用空間使用的默契。　　 ....

   The sandbox tree is covered in tiny spikes. These spiky thorns are a warning for humans and animals to stay away. The tree's sap is also poisonous. In the past, native tribes in the Amazon rainforest used the sap to create poison for their arrows. In modern times, the sap has been used to make tear gas, which can temporarily cause blindness and breathing difficulties.
  沙盒樹是一種原產於南美洲的大型樹種。在適當的條件下，它能長到四十公尺高。它們有柔軟薄葉的寬闊樹冠也很吸引人。不過，最好與沙盒樹保持距離，因為它可能非常危險。
   沙盒樹上布滿細小的尖刺。這些尖刺警告人類與動物不要靠近。這種樹的樹汁也有毒。在過去，亞馬遜雨林的原始部落用樹汁製作箭的毒。在現代，其樹汁被用來製作催淚瓦斯，可造成短暫的失明和呼吸困難。 ....
