Theyre called “placebo(安慰剂）buttons”一buttons that mechanically sound and can be pushed，but provide no functionality.In New York City, only about 100 of the 1, 000 c
10、rosswalk buttons actually function. Crosswalk signals were generally installed before traffic jam had reached todays levels.But while their function was taken over by more advanced systemssuch as automated lights or traffic sensors the physical buttons were often kept, rather than being replaced at

15、ations where the alternative would be doing nothing. In the case of pedestrian crossings, they may even make us safer by forcing us to pay attention to our surroundings. “They serve a psychological purpose at the very least,” she added.1、Why are the physical buttons still kept in some cities?ABecause it may cost money to replace them.BBecause they remain as memories of a city.CBecause do have real functions in traffic.DBecause
