　　 In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is 　36　 known as a place for the maintenance of official business and government cars.　 37　 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.

　　 More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 　38　 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to　 39　 me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 　40　 , my friend drove his car into the innermost　 41　 , which had a sign“carpool only”. I 　42　 what “carpool”meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool. 　43　 I thought myself clever in asking:

　　 “Is there anything wrong with the car?”

　　 “Nothing.　 44　 ?”said he.

　　 “Well then, why are you going to carpool?”I　 45　 .

　　 My friend couldn’t help　 46　 and told me that “carpool” refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 　47　 can drive in. I felt rather 　48　 on hearing that.

　　 After dinner, my friend’s neighbour came over to ask whether he　 49　 　“carpool” the next day. “　 50　 ，”my friend said“I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was 　51　 again, wondering why he could not“carpool”with him since we had “carpooled” today. My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbour　 52　 meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save 　53　 . The first“carpool”is a noun, 　54　 the second“carpool”is a verb. It is really　 55　 for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.
