In the US, when your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far to walk, you need a carpool（拼车）.A carpool is a group of 36 sharing a car to school in the morning. There are 37 four or five kids in their cars. Parents take turns driving the kids in their cars.

Teamwork （协作）is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make 38 late for class. If you sit in the car and wait for a classmate for a long time, you’ll probably get a little 39 . Also, your carpool friends might feel the 40 way when you keep them waiting.

You learn a great 41 in responsibility（责任）in the carpool before school ever starts.
