1．A．Who does freelancing？
B．The advantages and disadvantages of freelance
C．The definition of freelance
D．Key to freelance success
E．What is freelancing really like？
F．The best way to develop a career
（61）C
Freelance is a word that goes back to medieval times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate．Today it's an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture．
（62）B
What you gain is freedom of movement，what you can lose is a sense of belonging．You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks，because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare，training，safety，career development，equipment，professional updating and a thousand other things．It is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively cosseted existence of full-time employment．So before you leap up into this exciting and potentially rewarding way of working，stand back and take a look at the risks．
（63）A
Freelancing has always been a common way of working for writers，artists and performers，but the range of occupations with a substantial number of freelancers is growing steadily．Anyone with a marketable skill can choose to go it alone．Websites offer a free directory listing for those with skills to sell．Their categories include accountants，healthcare consultants，landscape architects and computer trainers．Areas of work that have problems recruiting staff are always keen to employ freelancers．
（64）E
Being a freelance is different from other forms of self-employment-you still work for an employer or several employers but have to develop a completely different set of relationships with them．Employers are now your customers，you are their supplier．You have to become indispensable to them，providing solutions to their problems，some of which they may not even realize they have．In many ways you have to behave like their dream employee，being more willing and available than you may have got used to while in a"proper job"．
（65）D
You also have to be aware of，and sensitive to，the fact that you can be seen as a threat by your customer's conventional employees，who may regard you as taking work they can do．Successful freelancing relies on the co-operation of everyone you come into contact with．Work that brings you into conflict with an existing workforce can be more trouble than it's worth．

3．The sharing economy，represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber，is the latest fashion craze．Rut many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law．
Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays．Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars．There are hundreds of other such services．
The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources．Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms，and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels．Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy．
But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention．Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels，and the tourists who stayin hotels are usually an important source of tax income．But many of Airhnb's customers are not paying the taxes required under the law．
Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts'neighbors．Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don't form other risks for visitors．Airbnb hosts face no such inspections．
Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations，the company is simply promoting thefts．Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forcced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitos．
The same story may apply with Uber．Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis．Also，if Uber and related services flood the market，they could harm all taxi drivers'ability to earn a minimum wage．
This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously，but that doesn't mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect．

30．What is the argument over Uber according to the passage？C
A．Whether it provides reliable services．
