新情境 时文热点 阅读短文，完成下列任务。
Now the idea of “car sharing” is popular in many countries in the world. You can use a car without having to own it. Instead, you share it with other people. Car sharing is a great way to make our world greener.
If there are fewer cars on the road, there will be less pollution. It also means using less energy. People can save money by driving shared cars. Most people drive their private cars for only one or two hours a day. When they don't use them, they have to pay for parking or something else. That costs much money. But with shared cars, they don't have to worry about those extra expenses.
Now many people start to share cars. In Germany, France and Spain, many people choose shared cars. China is also trying to make car sharing popular in the country.
