题目内容
Homesick is a compound (复合的) word made up of “home” and “sick”. You know
1 each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are 2 together. “Homesick” means “Thinking of home, unhappy away from home.” In other words, it means “sick for home”.
Now think for a minute 3 the word SEASICK. If you change the word “home” in the definition (定义) to the word “sea”, would the definition 4 “seasick” ? Does seasick mean “thinking of sea, unhappy away from sea”? It means something quite 5 . Seasick means “made sick by the only place where you are on the sea.” It means “sick because of the sea.” When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the 6 place you want to be is at sea.
Have you ever 7 a person being heartsick? Heartsick does not mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart. People are heartsick when they are 8 down deep inside as if (好像) their hearts are broken.
And so, when you are carsick, you are “made sick by the movement of a car on the road.” You are sick because of the car, not sick for it.
You can see, then, that 9 compound words are what they seem at first glance (一瞥). Think about the compound words, such as handshake and 10 . Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know something like this in your English study.

解析试题分析：本文讲述了复合词的意思并不是简单的词与词的简单相加，需要根据具体的语境选择合适的意思。在平时的学习中要注意总结复合词，大家不能“望词生义”。
【小题1】根据题干，本空应该是作mean的宾语，本句的意思“你知道每个词都有它自己的意思。”所以本题选A
【小题2】根据题干，本句的意思是“但是要考虑一下他们用在以前的意思是什么。”故用used。所以本题选B。
【小题3】本句的意思是“大家想一下关于SEASICK这个单词”。只有about是“关于”。所以本题选C。
【小题4】本题考查词义辨析。Get“得到”；fit”适合“，”与…一致；“read“读”；have“有”。本句的意思是“这个含义时候seasick吗？”所以本题选A。
【小题5】由下句Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. 可知上句应为：它的意思不是“思念大海”，而是完全不同的意思，所以本题选A。
【小题6】本句的意思是“如果你晕船，你最不想去的地方就是坐船（在海上）。”也就是
【小题7】hear of“听说”，hear from“受到某人的来信”，think over“重新考虑”，think about“考虑”。本句的意思是“你听说过心脏病人吗？”所以本题选A。
【小题8】hit“打击”，hurt“受伤”，love“爱”，move“移动”。本句的意思是“人们沮丧当他们受伤了，在内心深处，仿佛他们的心都碎了。”所以本题选B。
【小题9】根据题干，本句的意思是“你看，并不是所以的复合词都是你开始一瞥时的意思。”“并非所有的”是not all。所以本题选C。
【小题10】根据handshake可知，此处需要选一个复合词，四个选项中只有 handwriting
是复合词，故选D。

One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.
Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); don’t do what makes you depressed.
In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.
Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.
When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?
In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理学家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.
The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.

Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Here’s our advice to you-- and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’ s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
【小题1】Which of the following can explain the expression “feel left out”?
| A．Feel homesick. | B．Feel lonely. |
| C．Leave home alone. | D．Be hungry. |
| A．have trouble with their studies |
| B．don’t have their best friends around |
| C．need their parents to be with them |
| D．are too young to look after themselves |
| A．sharing your ideas |
| B．talking in front of many people |
| C．studying better at school |
| D．developing new friendship |
| A．they miss their old friends a lot |
| B．they have no time to stay with others |
| C．teachers know who wants a new friend |
| D．they are shy or not good at making friends |
