There are many things people do with their spare time.Have you ever thought about tuning(調(diào)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 part?time or full?time 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(搖動) 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 e?book 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.

The kiwi bird

The kiwi bird is a flightless bird，about the size of a chicken. It sleeps during the day and is active at night?time. It has a long beak that is one?third the length of its body, and its beak actually has nostrils (鼻孔) at the end. The kiwi is the only bird with this feature. Another unique feature of the kiwi is that it has no tail. It has thick brown hair?like feathers. This bird has many physical features unlike any other bird on earth.

Kiwi birds have been called a genetic leftover. Their characteristics seem very odd to us probably due to the fact that they haven't evolved much at all. They are suspected to be about 8 million years old. That's 7 million years older than humans. Due to New Zealand's isolated environment, it has been safe from predators(食肉動物) and hasn't needed to do much adapting. They just hang around.

With its long beak, the kiwi digs up and chows down on worms. A kiwi is almost blind; it can see about six feet at night and around two feet during the day，so when it comes to hunting the kiwi is not well equipped.It uses the nostrils on its beak to find its food and then picks up the worms with its beak.

The kiwi bird is native of New Zealand.It is the island country's national bird, and is rare anywhere but here and a few Pacific island neighbors. Of course，it is available for viewing at certain zoos.It has stayed in its native land due to the facts that it is an isolated island and that kiwis can't fly.

Kiwi birds are extremely unique in the bird world. Though they are the size of chickens, they lay eggs the size of ostrich eggs, weighing around a pound each.Their enormous eggs are the largest in the bird world, compared to their bodies. These birds were named after their distinctive shrill cry “kee?wee kee?wee”．

1.Which of the following is NOT the distinctive feature of the kiwi bird?

A．It has no tail at all.

B．It has a long beak.

C．Its feathers are thick and brown.

D．There are nostrils at the end of its beak.

2.Kiwi birds haven't evolved much over the past 8 million years probably because ________.

A．the climate is mild

B．they have no enemy

C．something is wrong with their genes

D．they have adapted to living on the island

3.What plays a key role in looking for food?

A．Its long beak.　B．Its eyes.

C．The nostrils.　D．Its tail

4.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

Suppose you don't need your car today.And suppose，as it happens that a stranger in your area does need a car.Would you be willing to rent yours out?

Several car?sharing start?ups，including Getaround，RelayRides and JustSharelt，are eager to connect car owners with renters this way.The companies have different rules，but participating owners receive，generally speaking，about two?thirds of the rental earnings.RelayRides says an owner of a mid?size，late?model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about $ 3,000 a year.

Peer?to?peer car?sharing remains in the trial stage；it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places.It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb，the surprise success story for peer?to?peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.

Shelby Clark，founder of RelayRides，says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers.To address that，he points to Airbnb，saying，“Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car.”

All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters，which are supposed to put owners' minds at ease.But only two states—California and Oregon—have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car?sharing renter have an accident.

“In all the other states，legal ambiguity remains，” Shelby Clark says.“If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states，the victim can be expected to go after every party possible，including the car's owner.”

Also to remove the worries of car owners，the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations..

1.What does the underlined word “sedan” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A．A kind of car.

B．An owner of a car.

C．A renting company.

D．A car?sharing renter.

2.Which of the following is true of Aribnb?

A．It cares little about personal privacy.

B．It deals with house?sharing successfully.

C．It is a very popular car?sharing company.

D．Its ideas are being tried out in some states.

3.If a car?sharing renter should have an accident in California，the car's owner ________.

A．has to take legal responsibility

B．will not suffer the consequence

C．is not covered by health insurance

D．must pay the insurance for the renter

4.According to the text，more car?owners will participate in the service，if ________.

A．legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states

B．renters are warned not to violate traffic rules

C．more money is given to participating owners

D．people are aware of the importance of sharing

5.It can be learned from the text that car?sharing ________.

A．makes no profit

B．remains in popularity

C．is against the state law

D．is a new business model
