How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games online. Or maybe we’re using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.
Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking. The photographs catch those quiet and personal moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean (倚靠) their head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture catches one tiny moment in people’s lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at someone’s commute (上下班) and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.
“What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day,” Dina told My Modern Met. “My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you need is just to look around and find those magic moments.”

Spending your spare time alone or with your friends, which do you prefer? For me, I'd rather be alone. 1. Being with friends can be fun and can help you get through the rough spots in life. However, it's the time alone, I think, that forms you as a person.
2. Of course, I can think about these things when I’m with others, but it's harder to concentrate in a crowd. Being alone gives me the quiet time to really think about my life and what I want to do with it.
By staying alone, I can listen to the silence and relax completely. When I'm alone I can practice meditation (冥想) and lower my stress level. 3. Too much time with friends means filling my mind with a lot of chats. That’s enjoyable for a moment, but can dull my Concentration.
If I’m with other people, it's easy sometimes to become too worried about what other people think of me. When I'm alone I have time to step back. 4.
Finally, when I’m constantly in the company of other people, I’m always making compromises in order to find solutions that the entire group can enjoy. 5.
It’s natural to want to be with other people, but I find the time I spend alone is more valuable to me in the long run.
A.And that naturally leads to you feeling more independent.
B.This will prevents me from doing things I actually enjoy.
C.I need this time alone to re-energize my mind and spirit.
D.That's a very good way to sharpen my powers of concentration.
E.The time spent alone gives you a greater appreciation for yourself.
F.When alone, I have time to think about my goals and to develop a strategy to reach them.
G.Thus, I can see the real value of things, without being influenced by the opinions of others.

There are many things people do with their spare time.Have you ever thought about tuning(调音)your own piano for fun and profit?Are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training?Well,this is your lucky day.All you need are the right tools,a piano and patience.
So,why would I want to tune my piano?There are many reasons for tuning your own piano.
·It is a very pleasant thing to do.
·You can make up to $80 each time tuning other people's pianos.
·There are millions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.There are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.
·You can provide a valuable service for friends,family and others.
·You can teach yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a parttime or fulltime business.
You may have thought that only a trained expert could do this,someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高).In the past,tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise,but now the balance is swaying(摇动) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.
A few simple tools and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.The real secret is the tuning software,which makes the whole process extremely easy.It means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.
I have put together an ebook in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano, where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.
I hope I have inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.You will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.

Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!
A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele(客户):around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!
Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!
But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?
1.What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?
A. Lacking in money B. Full of curiosity
C. Willing to help others D. Unsatisfied with their life
2.Who may be against the sharing economy?
A. A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking place B. A priest in the church near Kings Cross
C. A traveller who needs accomodiation D. A well-known high-end holiday hotel
3.Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?
A. They can gain huge profits B. They needn’t pay any fee
C. There are few rules to limit them D. The new business has no risks
4.Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?
A. Creative and developed B. Competitive but unpractical
C. Effective and worrying D. Traditional and acceptable
