Question

In Twain many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is 1 known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars. 2 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 3 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to 4 me at the airport and took me to his home. Out of the 5 my friend drove his car into the innermost 6 which had a sign “carpool only”. I 7 what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool. 8 I thought myself clever in asking:
“Is there anything wrong with the car?”
“Nothing. 9 ?” said he.
“Well then why are you going to carpool?” I 10 .
My friend couldn’t help 11 and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 12 can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on 13 that.
After dinner my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he 14 “carpool” the next day. “ 15 ” my friend said “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was 16 again wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled” 17 . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor 18 meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun 19 the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really 20 for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.
