I was desperately nervous about becoming carfree.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem，I thought：we’ll buy another.But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that，with the loan(贷款) we’d need plus petrol，insurance，parking permits and tax，we would make a payment as much as ￡600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all？I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house，a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away，and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area，and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car，I reasoned，then surely we were that family.
But my new carfree idea，sadly，wasn’t shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car〞？(I wasn’t that bothered what they thought，and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends，too，were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital？(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events？(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas，before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on，I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again.The idea that you “have to〞 own a car，especially if you live in a city，is all in the mind.I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport，and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs，but we’d be better off asking something much more basic：do I really need a car？Certainly the answer is no，and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

“A Long Walk Home〞—Life As Eli Reed Saw It
American photographer and photojournalist Eli Reed has been documenting “life as I saw it〞 for more than 40 years.His career retrospective(回忆)Eli Reed：A Long Walk Home〞，is an extraordinary search of beauty while recording hardship.With a heart of love，Reed uses a style that uncovers humanity at every turn.According to Reed，“A Long Walk Home〞 is about what it means to be a human being.It all began with a photo he took of his mother and his memory of her smile.
Raised in New Jersey，Reed was originally a painter.Primarily selftaught in photography，he became a freelance photographer in 1970.After producing some impressive photos that drew much attention，he joined the famous company Magnum Photos—the first black photographer invited to do so.
His photos are remarkable in their lack of judgment of the people or the situations he comes across.In Beirut，Lebanon，a man removes a tree branch from a car in a recently bombed parking lot.An old man wrapped in a sheet plays a drum in front of a sign reading “God Is the Way〞 while National Guardsmen lift their guns during a war in Miami.A young boy upside down with his legs in the air in a Kenyan refugee camp，his determined look faces the camera.In Harlem，New York，a group of laughing children take over an abandoned car，using it as a jungle gym.
Where another photographer might have focused on the sobriety of these situations，Reed’s camera smiles.His images show how humans cope，rise above，and carry on.This is what gives “A Long Walk Home〞 its power.Considering the places Reed has been to，，Reed focuses on the varied human responses to hardship.
We smile along with Reed in a gesture of compassion and solidarity.We recognize our fellow human beings.

Whether it’s joining a school club，going to a friend’s birthday party，or travelling by train，，many of us feel awkward when meeting people for the first time，especially when we aren’t quite sure what to say.The situation feels cold，even icy.
“Breaking the ice〞 is a term widely used in the Englishspeaking countries to describe a small talk technique that can help rescue a conversation from certain failure.
So where do you even begin？Well，a good start is to accept that it is perfectly normal to feel a little nervous when talking to someone for the first time.They might look grumpy_or scary，but they could turn out to be the nicest person you’ve ever met.
You might think that breaking the ice is difficult.But sometimes just a simple “hello〞，followed by a threesecond smile，can make all the difference.
Complimenting someone on their garment or accessories(饰品) is also a great，easy way to break the ice.You might say：“I love your jacket.Where did you buy it from？〞
Being in an uncomfortable or unpleasant situation with someone new might feel terrible，but it can actually be one of the best icebreakers.By focusing on the situation，you come together to fight the common enemy：the long bathroom queue，for example，or the overcrowded bus.
You can make observations too.“What kind of drink is that？〞 “That’s a lovely name.What does it mean？〞 “Do you study here too？〞 There are opportunities all around you to ask questions that don’t seem weird，as long as you have some followup questions in mind.
If you’re feeling extra bold，make a joke.Jokes can be difficult to master but if you get them right，they show the likeable，witty side of your character.“What’s your name？〞 “Well，people usually call me Mike，but you can call me tonight.〞
