Weekday mornings are very busy for US middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus， and you live too far away to walk， you need a carpool (拼車). A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (責(zé)任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars.

Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts (甜點(diǎn)) for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mom or dad drives the carpool， your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社會學(xué)) study and your first time to work with others.

Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine (想象) sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house， watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7：48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool.

任務(wù)型閱讀 閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空限填一個單詞。

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver， just try the following things：

Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide（藏）it. When they get to know you are a shy kid， they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.

Try to smile more. When you smile， people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation， say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.

Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone， say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars are produced．One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas．American won't live without cars!

Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be like without a car．However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars．The polluted air is poisonous(有毒的)and dangerous to health．

One way to get rid of(排除)the polluted air is to build a new kind of car．That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do．But progress in this field has been slow．

Another way is to take the place of the car engine(發(fā)動機(jī)) by something else．Engineers are now working on some new cars．Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that satisfies man．

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way of us live．Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their cars．They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike．Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean．

But this change does not come easily------a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down．And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失業(yè))．

Advantages &disadvantages of the cars
