【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Renting a garage with others? 1 Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.

Perhaps the bestknown example of a company in this field is Airbnb — an American Web which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34, 000 cities and it has 800, 000 listings of rooms and apartments. 17

A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskenazi, says, ＂When I had the original idea, I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park.＂ 3 Around 20, 000 people have advertised their spaces on the website, and he says around half a million drivers use them.

4 They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks. They are afraid of ending up losing money.

5 Regulations for these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour? Because this is a new business world, those rules aren’t there yet.

A. And there is another problem.

B. There are many ways to earn money.

C. A commercial car park is inconvenient.

D. And his great idea has proved a success.

E. Both of these can help you make money.

F. But the new business of renting has its competitors.

G. It seem to have occupied the majority of the market.
