阅读下面材料,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
While traveling, you might have stayed at a hotel or a family member’s house. But have you ever thought about staying in a stranger’s home? This might sound strange, but it’s actually becoming popular around the world, including China.
Companies like Airbnb are helping people look for cheap ways to travel. Its website allows people to rent out(出租) their rooms or apartments in over 190 countries.
Created by three young American men, Airbnb is a good example of the sharing business. How does Airbnb work? Hosts post information about their rooms or apartments, like positions, prices, descriptions and pictures on the website. Guests can go to the website and find their favorite place to stay. Users post their opinions on their stay, so people know whether a place is good or not.
A man in New York named Jonathan Pawley even rents out his taxi for 22 a night through Airbnb. Pawley took out the car seats and changed the inside to make it look more welcoming. He keeps it clean and puts flowers in it every day. He provides snacks and tells guests where they can go and shower.
But Airbnb does have some problems. Sometimes the room or apartment you live in is not as nice as it looks like online. Also, hosts sometimes get mad when they get home and see it’s a complete mess.
The number of Airbnb users in China has greatly increased in the past year. Local home-rental websites have also joined the competition.
