States is full of cars. There are 1
many families
without cars. But some families have two or 2 more. However, cars are used for 3 than pleasure. They are 4
part of life.
Cars are 5 for business. They are driven to
offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs.
When salesmen are sent to 6 parts of the city, they have to drive in
order to 7 their products. Farmers have to drive
into the city in order to get 8 .
Sometimes small children must be driven to 9 . In some cities school buses are
used 10 when children live more than a mile from
the school. When the children are 11 young to walk that far, their mothers
take 12 driving them to school. One 13 drives on Mondays, taking her own
children and the neighbors’ children
14 well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays,
another on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also
form a car pools, 15 three or four men taking turns 16
to the place where they
all work.
