Instagram is a fast,beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family.Take a picture or video,choose a filter to transform its look and feel.and then post to Instagram—it's that easy.You can even share to Facebook.Twitter and more.It’s a new way to see the world.So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK,I’d probably do it too.“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s“Food for Life”campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food.“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,”said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.
1.Instagram probably is______.
A.a restaurant free of chmge
B.a campaign of“Food for Life’’
C.a program used to share photos
D.a new marketing project
2.What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?
A.Confused B.Unconcerned C.Opposed D.Interested
3.“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to_____.
A.raise the price of frozen food
B.attract more customers
C.create a new social media trend
D.reward the regular customers
4.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A.Pay by Picture B.The Pop-up Diner
C.No Need to Pay D.Food for Life

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings(翅膀).
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

2. Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________
A. Because time never returns.

A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily
