Homesick is a compound (復(fù)合的) word that is made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each         means on its own, of course. But do you know the meaning          they are used together? The definition (定義) of homesick is SICK FOR HOME. It means you miss your home.
Now think for a minute          SEASICK. If you change the word HOME in the word “homesick” to the word SEA, does the way above of giving the definition           SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? No, it doesn’t. It means something quite          . Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT(航行) ON THE SEA. When you are         , the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick,          you want to be is at sea.
Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s           . People are heartsick when they are            deep inside as if (好像) their hearts are broken.
And we also have other compound words, such as handshake and        . Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know something like this in your English study.

Now more and more people in the world are getting fatter. This troubles them a lot. （1）Experts(專家) say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits.
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than vegetables and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. （2）If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲).
It’s important for us to eat our meal in the same period each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞) the bread, it meant that he wasn’t telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have trouble in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.

Roosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(裝置). He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.
An electromagnetic field(電磁場) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.
Roosegaarde says, "It's like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(靜電) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair."
His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks.  Beijing's skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.
"Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there's not so much wind." says Roosegaarde. "We'll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, "This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. " However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.
小題1:The device works by_______.
A．helping keep the particles out with more masks
B．pulling particles to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C．a(chǎn)bsorbing hair with a balloon with static
D．creating clean air and letting it out into the sky
小題2:What does Roosegaarde use his device for?
A．To make smog.B．To make the air clean
C．To make static electricity.D．To make Beijing's parks beautiful.
小題3:After reading the passage, we can know_______.
A．the device doesn't work well indoors
B．the people with masks can breathe fresher air
C．Beijing government agreed to test the device
D．clean cars aren't helpful to the environment in Beijing
小題4:Roosegaarde hopes people in Beijing can_______.
A．pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B．invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C．drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D．realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

Snake dishes have become popular in recent years. Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snakes is now in fashion, and if you ( A ) ___________ (not eat) any snakes yet, you’re considered out-of-date. But I wonder whether it is worth following.
Some people think that eating snake meat is good for their health. But these people don’t know that snakes usually eat mice and worms. Therefore, there are many parasites（寄生蟲）found inside snakes’ bodies. ( B ) 它們可能對我們的健康有害。 Apart from this, we’re sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher’s knife. According to the newspaper, Shanghai Star, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten by people every year in China. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day. ( C ) If we still turn a blind eye to this, a vicious circle（惡性循環(huán)）will be created — if more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, and the number of mice will increase, which will result in a decrease in crop output. This will make more people hungry. Who wants to see such a tragedy?
( D ) Therefore, let’s not eat snakes any more! To protect the snakes is to protect ourselves.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “ Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr.Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing---it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho ha, ha, ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.
小題1:The first Laughter Club was started in __________.
A. India               B. America             C. Britain   
小題2:How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today?
A. Over 1300.          B. Over 500.           C. Over 800.  
小題3:How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A. Surprised.          B. Pleased.            C. Nervous.   
小題4:When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?
A. After ten minutes.  B. After ten hours.        C. After ten seconds.  
小題5:The article mainly tells us _____________.
A. young children laugh much more often than adults in a day
B. laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy
C.real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter.  The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign簽字 this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.

Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
