• 2．The State Administration for Market Regulation （国家市场监管总局） has held a meeting with major domestic brand operators （运营商） to discuss shared consumption and pricing，making it a landmark event in the development of China's sharing economy.The industry （业界） admits 2014 as the start year for China's sharing economy.That was the year when the concept of sharing of bicycles，portable chargers and cars entered our lives.While it has made life convenient for many，it has also created environmental protection and consumption safety problems.
     With the sharing economy booming in China，its social value has been generally recognized and the industry has entered a relatively stable period.However，the recent price hikes are a matter of concern.For example，shared portable chargers，costing 1 yuan per hour，are now available at 6-10 yuan per hour at some scenic spots.It is in this context that the top market regulator （最高市场监管机构） met the brand operators in the hope of promoting healthy and sustainable development of this industry.
     The price rise itself is not a problem.After all，this is a basic rule of the market economy that cannot be ignored.However，the unusual collective price rise in this sector in recent months reflects a condition that must be looked into.If these problems are not solved，it will be difficult for China's sharing economy to develop in a healthy and sustainable way.
     China's sharing economy once experienced an super-low price competition，but the collective price rise in recent days shows there is no free lunch forever.However，if the sharing economy cannot overcome the challenges，it is unlikely to realize long-term development.
     The essence of the sharing economy is to reduce costs and bring about consumer welfare （福利） through the efficient use of resources.But disorderly capital expansion will make it unsustainable for the consumers.To gain long-term sustainable development，China's sharing economy must make improvement in consumers' welfare its goal，and win their trust by providing more convenient service and create value for society.

  .
  A．the meeting was held to control major brands.
  B．sharing economy makes life more convenient.
  C．in 2014 sharing economy began to take off in China.

  A．The rapid rise of the sharing economy.
  B．The reason why the meeting was held.
  C．The way to develop a healthy industry.
  D．The social value of the sharing economy.
