     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 JustShareIt, are eager to
connect car owners with renters this way. The companies have different rules, but participatingo
wners receive, generally speaking, about two-thirds of the rental earnings. RelayRides says an
owner of a midsize, 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 Airbnb?  ______
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

　　It was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank．You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates(利率)．

　　On October 29, for the first time in nine years, the People’s Bank of China(PBOC)raised interest rates．The rate for one-year renminbi deposits(存款)was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent．And the rate for one-year renminbi loans(代款)went up from 5.31 per cent to 5.58 per cent．Longer term rates saw higher increases．

　　So what are interest rates?Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account(储蓄帐户)，and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them．The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates．

If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars, the interest rates rise was not good news．

　　An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank．For example, a person who borrowed, 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise．But after the interest rates are increased, he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year．

　　The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy．For several years, pushed by a huge investment and construction projects, the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world．But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes．It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money．

　　“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down．It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects．”said Su Ning, deputy governor(副行长)of the PBOC．

(1)

If we deposit 1000 RMB in the bank for one year, how much can we get after October 29?

(The tax rate on interest rates is 20％．)

[　　]

A．

21.6．

B．

13.68．

C．

15.84．

D．

18．

(2)

What is the purpose of the rise in the interest rates?

[　　]

A．

To attract greater investment．

B．

To make people earn more money．

C．

To carry out construction projects．

D．

To cool down the over-heating Chinese economy．

(3)

By saying “this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes” the writer ________．

[　　]

A．

warns that if the economy grows too rapidly, it will cause trouble

B．

warns us that industry will suffer a loss

C．

advises us to buy bigger clothes when we are young

D．

advises us not to grow too fast

(4)

Which of the following is NOT a result of the increase in the interest rates on a loan?

[　　]

A．

People will make wiser investments．

B．

People will need to repay more to the bank．

C．

People will borrow more money to invest in their business．

D．

People will be careful of taking money from banks to expand their business．
