五、阅读理解
I love travelling so you can imagine how I felt when I knew that my local
train station would be closed for five months. I don't have a car but I
realized that I could start carpooling.
Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys. More than one person travels in
a car, so carpooling can be cheaper because everyone in the car shares the
cost of petrol (汽油). I recently did carpooling for the first time and it was
very easy to find a driver. I used a website which lists drivers'
information and found someone who was going to the same place as me.
From the information we know the driver's name, age and reviews (评价)
from previous passengers (以前的乘客).
It may seem quite dangerous to travel with a stranger but there are some
safety ways. Firstly, the driver cannot receive your money until you text
him or her a code (密码) at the end of your journey. This means that if
you are unsatisfied with your trip, the driver will not get money. Secondly,
it is important to know the drivers' information and reviews when you
choose a driver. Lastly, I would suggest travelling with a friend so that
you will feel safer and less lonely.
I had a very good experience carpooling. The trip was very cheap. The
driver and the other passengers were really friendly. They were all French
so I had the chance to practice speaking some French.
As train and petrol prices are rising, this kind of travel can be good to
both drivers and passengers. More importantly, carpooling is a fantastic
chance to meet interesting people on your travels.
1.Did the writer usually travel by train before starting carpooling?
2.How do they pay for the petrol when two people do carpooling?
3.When can the driver receive the money from a passenger?
4.To keep safe, what does a passenger need to do when choosing a
driver?
5.In the writer's opinion, what are the advantages of carpooling?
