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

neighbor

19 the second "carpool" is a verb. It is really
