"BEEP，beep，"goes the car horn （喇叭）．You've got dressed，（69）but you've not had time to eat breakfast．You run out of the front door carrying your school backpack，and jump into the waiting car．Inside，your friends say"hey"as one of （70）theirparents drive you to school．This is the daily car pool （拼车） to school．
Car pooling is a common （71）way of transportation for many students in the US．You，along with many of your friends can fit in the car，and（72）share the journey to school each day．Parents may （73）taketurns to drive you all to school．
What do friends do in the car？If you're （74）late，you can eat that breakfast you didn't have time for at home．If you're behind on your homework，this is your last（75）chance to finish it before class．Some students sleep a while before classes begin．
Besides walking or （76）riding bikes to class，car pools can save energy if you can't take the school bus．Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day，they can all sit together into one．Think of how（77）much gas that can save!
More importantly，car pooling teaches students valuable life（78）lessons not taught in class．It can teach students to be on time．If you're late，then all of your friends will be late too．
