三、阅读选择
More and more travellers in China nowadays prefer homestays rather than traditional hotels, as they seek private living experiences. The house-sharing model was first introduced by the website Couchsurfing    in 2003. It is still the largest website for travellers to find accommodation (住宿) without much money to spend.
Encouraged by her great experience of homestays in France, Maggita, 30, considered short-term hire as her first choice in her future trips. She later went back to her hometown Shanghai and ran a "shared accommodation" business.
The short-term hire idea has been a win-win business model. For travellers, they can rent a special room at a reasonable price and also enjoy a firsthand experience of the local culture, compared with traditional hotels. For owners, they can gain much with daily rental. Now Maggita has quit her last job in an IT company and become a host of some 20 homestays, which enables her to earn a monthly income of around 40,000 — 50,000 yuan.
In recent years, China has seen many homestay booking websites such as Xiaozhu and Tujia. Chen Chi, the founder and CEO of Xiaozhu, said the model is to share rooms or apartments that are not in use with people who need them. Instead of the traditional view that Chinese people feel uncomfortable living with strangers, Chen found that a large number of travellers got along well with house owners.
However, experts have pointed out a series of problems brought about by the fashion. Lacking supervision (监管) to those accommodation sharing websites, the service quality and accommodation safety cannot be guaranteed (保障).Experts suggest that the online websites should closely work together with communities and local police stations to improve the services.
21．What can we learn about homestays from the first paragraph?
A．They started in China.    B．They offer the best service.
C．They can be money-saving.    D．They are popular with the youth.
22．What does the underlined word "quit" in the third paragraph mean?
A．Taken up.            B．Given up.
C．Looked for.    D．Gone for
23．What does Chen Chi think of this sharing model?
A．Useless.                              B．Relaxing.                     
C．Well-accepted.    D．Uncomfortable.
24．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Homestays need to be improved.
B．Some experts don't support homestays.
C．Lacking supervision is the biggest problem of homestays.
D．The police should manage the homestay services.
