41、end a Hand to StrangersCWhile gazing at an airplane passing thousands of feet overhead, or when you are just about to board a flight at the airport, have you ever noticed that the majority of airplanes are white? Sure, some have decorations and names in different colors, but the base color behind th

42、ose add-ons is almost always white.Now, thinking of your summer wardrobe, which has at least a couple of white items, be it a T-shirt, a pair of pants, or a skirt. The main reason people prefer white on a hot day is its particular ability to reflect sunlight. The color white is a terrific reflector

43、of sunlight, and reflects almost all the light that falls on it, unlike other colors, which absorb some of the light. So, just like clothing, aircraft producers use white paint to keep airplanes cool. It minimizes the heating as well as the potential harm from solar radiation. Planes have some parts

44、 made from plastic, carbon fiber, and fiberglass. Those things in particular need the most protection from the blazing sun.The next reason for painting planes white is even mo re practical. It ' s just cheaper to have white-colored plane. You see, all airplanes start out w hite when they ' r

45、e made. But what if an airline decides to paint theirs, say, bright yellow? An additional layer of paint will add more than 1,000 pounds of weight to the aircraft. The paint on a Boeing 737 weighs 180kg and on a Boeing 747 is around 500kg. Weight increment means the increase of fuel burnt, and that

46、can get pricey. Most airlines want to avoid the higher cost.When flying at high altitudes, exposed to various atmospheric conditions, colored airplanes tend to fade, and thus require a lot of paint jobs to maintain their artistic appeal. A white- colored airplane, on the other hand, doesn' t app

47、ear significantly different, evenafter spending a considerable amount of time in the air.Besides, airplanes are regularly inspected for cracks and any other form of surface damage for obvious safety reasons. Nothing works better than white when it comes to spotting a crack on the surface, as the cra

48、ck is almost always darker than white. Plus, a white plane is easier toI: IntroductionDSometimes, when looking at the things that have been lying around for a long time in our lives, we probably realize that those items may be useful to others. With the development of the internet, online communitie

49、s have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused assets. Using websites and social media platforms that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods, it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is what we call sharin

50、g economy.One of the things consumers appreciate when using or working in the sharing economy is the ?exibility. It offers services to people when and where they want them. For those who don care for traditional office work, sharing economies do not require professional working environments, so ther

51、e is no need to put yourself in an atmosphere that un?ts for your personality. It allows people to choose ?exible atmosphere to work remotely instead of in one physical office space.A sharing economy helps consumers to earn money by renting out underused goods or resources. For example, you can rent

52、 out a home using Airbnb, expensive tools from one' s garage, cars, or even sharing the groceries before going on a holiday. All of these provide a way for items to be resold and repurposed instead of just thrown away. Therefore, it helps to reduce waste and make or save money for the provider a

53、nd users.But the sharing economy is not without criticisms. The sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision. One downside is that in many cases there is a lack of regulation to check the products and services exchanged during these deals. Unlike formal compa

54、nies, unregulated individuals do not follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. For example, hotels are inspected to assure quality, whereas some apartments for short-term rental online are not. The digitally-driv

55、en peer-to-peer nature of the sharing economy services sometimes doesn ' t match well with certain regulations, which on the other hand, helps keep the provided services more affordable.Another problem is related to safety concerns. Most sharing economy platforms are based on trust, as well as r

56、atings by guests and hosts. But sometimes it happens that one uses a car, or rents an apartment and it is totally different than one imagines. After all, we have heard some unpleasant tales of guests and hosts.The sharing economy de?nitely has its lovers and haters. Many are not ready to switch to t

57、hat model, where others are already using more than four platforms in their daily lives.42. What makes peer-to-peer sharing activities easier?A. The convenience of the network.B. The development of community.C. People's keeping underused things.D. People ' s demand of secbndd goods.43. The e

What is the author ' s attitude towards sharing economy?A. S
