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.

Children are very, very observant and have excellent memories.
Around Christmas last year, we were heading to Grandma’s house. The drive was an hour long, so we had plenty of time to chat. We were waiting to get onto the freeway when my daughter Hayley noticed a homeless man, no sign in hand. “Mom, is that man homeless?” I told her I believed he was.
We got onto the freeway and drove away. But the chatting had stopped. Hayley was quiet all the way there. We spent a few hours at Grandma’s then packed up to head home. As we drove back, Hayley rustled(沙沙作响地移动) around in her seat, trying to reach something on the floor of the car. I asked her to sit still, worried her seatbelt would slip from the booster seat. She mumbled(咕哝)something and sat back.
“Mom, will the homeless man still be outside tonight?” I told her I was not sure, maybe. It was a freezing night, and I started to think of the man now too, and how cold he must be.
All of a sudden, as we got onto the freeway exit, Haley shrieked (尖叫): “There he is! There he is!” and started rolling down her window. “Mom, I found these gloves and scarf back here. Can I give them to him? Can I?” she asked.
I pulled over to the edge of the road, and beckoned(招手示意) the man to come over. Haley smiled at him and handed him her gift. I looked in the front passenger seat, loaded with leftovers from Grandma’s house, and handed those out to him as well.
The man thanked us, he clutched (抓紧) my hand in his and I could feel the bitter cold of them. We wished him a safe night and continued on our journey to our warm home.
“Haley, that was very sweet of you!” I told her. “Well, they were your gloves and scarf, Mom, but his hands looked colder, and he has to keep looking for his house!”
We had talked about homelessness before , and I could hear myself telling her: “Someone who has lost their home.” She had taken my words literally and thought the man’s home was like a lost puppy.
On the ride home, and as I carried my sleeping angel into the house that night, my heart filled with gratitude.

It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.
Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun.
Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!
1.“I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .
A．it was a firm arrangement
B．he prefers a pencil to a pen
C．the arrangement should be written as a diary
D．it was an uncertain arrangement
2.A website address can be easily found if it has been______.
A．favorited B．messaged C．emailed D．texted
3.Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet?
A．message B．mobile C．email D．page
4.The best title for this passage is____.
A．Technology and Language.
B．Development of the English language
C．New Technology and New words
D．New Verbs from Nouns
