D A gig is a part--time job performed by freelance(自由职业的)workers for a limited amount of time.The term"gig economy"is broadly described as"economic activity that involves the use of temporary or freelance workers to perform jobs typically in the service sectorFor instance. driving for a ride-share company;delivering groceries;performing home maintenance duties; selling handmade goods and renting your bome,etc. According to the ADP Editorial Team,the gig economy arose from several factors:the 2007-2008 financial crisis,during which more people with traditional jobs needed"side jobs"to keep their heads above water:the tech explosion that allowed people to work from virtually anywhere;and the emergence of apps and websites such as Airbnb(2008).Uber (2009).and Postmates (2011). Although the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paused the growth of the gig economy,the industry has continued to grow and increase in value. So,is the gig economy good for us?

B.invest in new technology. C.cover basic living expenses D.start a small business. 33.Why does the author mention the COVID-19 pandemic in Paragraph 3? A.To show the gig economy is declining. B.To explain why people need extra income C.To criticize the risks of gig jobs during crises D.To emphasize its temporary impact on gig work 34.What is a key difference between gig workers and traditional employees? A.Traditional jobs offer more financial security. B.Gig workers have fixed working hours. C.Gig workers need no special skills. D.Traditional jobs are all in the service sector. 35.Which title best summarizes the passage?
