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.
