25、We’ve been told by parents and teachers since we were kids that “It’s good to share.” Taking it as an object of study, psychologists (心理学家) have published various papers stating that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional connecting.

Today, the action of sharing takes on more meaning. We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don’t use all the time. These differ from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.

This sharing economy (经济) is an answer to our increasing need for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at a click. Whether it’s an online shop where we can get designer clothes at rock-bottom prices (租) out our flats for a couple of days, it’s out there. Whether we’re a lender or a borrower; everyone makes or saves money. We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to reuse things, there by cutting down on waste.

But the sharing economy is not without its problems as it’s developing faster than ongoing supervision. Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to increase their share of the market. In addition, the sharing economy is open to misuse of trust. Some people have experienced loss of things while renting out their homes, and others have found themselves being stolen or attacked while sharing rides. Finally, the heart of the sharing economy, is not yet safe. Sharing websites collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, locations, bank information, the technology to prevent such information from being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness of possible risks is low among both service providers and users.

Even though, what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly related to our daily lives. It is growing at such a speed that we can only imagine what it will include in the future. What will we be sharing next? Who will be sharing and how? And the most interesting question of all—what type of society will all this sharing take us to?

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Online shops are the products of sharing economy.

B．Both service providers and users think highly of risks.

C．Sharing economy encourages lending and borrowing less.

D．Sharing economy offers good services with reasonable prices.

【2】The words “ongoing supervision” in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.

A．final judgement

B．fair treatment

C．continuous management

D．powerful argument

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．there are more possible risks of sharing than benefits

B．sharing economy will develop widely in different fields

C．it will be a popular way to make friends through sharing

D．sharing economy will bring positive emotional connecting

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．What’s Good to Share

B．What’s Mine Is Yours

C．The History and the Future of Sharing

D．The More You Share, the More You Get
