I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum   36  me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as   37  as it usually was.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was   38  to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself   39  for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of    40 .
I finished getting ready and tried to   41 . It didn’t work, so I decided that my   42  should go with me. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I   43 , with the wheel hitting the fence. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was   44 . I tried two more times, but didn’t   45  much. Then we headed to the test site.
I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just   46  time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my   47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some   48  and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become   49  and confident.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite   50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I   51  it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second   52  next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her    53  made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was   55  for me.

In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is   36 known as a place for the maintenance(维修)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 embarrassed on   48  that.
After dinner, my friend’s neighbor 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”   52 . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor   53  meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. 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.
