READING

Imagine you have a smartphone and you want to stay in a hotel. What if you don’t need a hotel

key, or even have to wait at the Registration desk, to enter your room? You can just use your

phone to open the door! That’s the idea of a hotel company that wants to send digital keys to

guests’ phones via an app instead of giving them the normal and easy to lose plastic cards.

Guests could arrive and go straight to their rooms without waiting at Reception Desk. The

hotel company has more than 1,000 hotels in many countries. It plans to try the system soon

at two of its hotels – one in New York City and one in California. The app will work with new

iPhone models and new Android phones. The app will use Bluetooth to unlock the room with

a touch. The hotel company thinks this will be the new way that people will want to enter a

hotel.

21. In their new invention, what will the company send to guests?

A. digital key

B. plastic card

C. QR code
