Jennifer was sitting on the bench. After all she went through, it was just what she needed. ‘It’s getting 1,’ she thought. ‘I should go home.’
She wanted to know her 2 would react(反应) when she 3 home after the three days she was missing.
It was really dark when she finally reached her front door. It seemed different to her. 4   took care of the outside garden for 5 days. She was surprised as her father usually worked hard to keep everything 6 and tidy. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She entered the 7. First, she went into the kitchen 8 she saw a note written by her father. 9 said, ‘Dear Ellen, here is some coffee. I am searching out.’ Ellen was her mother, but where is she?
She went to her parents’ room. She found her there. Her 10 was lying on the bed, fast asleep. Her face looked so 11, as if she wasn’t asleep for days. Jennifer wanted to wake her up 12 she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her.
When Jennifer 13, something was different: She wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t 14 the old clothes she ran away in. She was on her own bed.
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice ask, ‘Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you 15 us all very, very afraid.

Smiling is the most attractive human behavior. The power of smiling can work out many wonders. I love to take a walk around the small neighborhood where I live. Whoever I meet on the way, they always give me a friendly greeting with a nice smile as soon as our eyes contact1. I smile back. This kind of smiling exchange represents the most 2 part of my jogging experience in the States.
My daughter's smile is just like sunlight, which warms me inside the same way 3 the sun warms my body. It can clear away any clouds and unpleasant feelings. The smile of my wife, however, makes me enjoy the 4of an elegant woman, it can sometimes relax me quite a lot.
Julia Robert's 5 is nothing but roaring like an earthquake. Americans may have 6 opinions in many things, but they all agree that Julia is America's sweetheart. Her laugh plays a very good part in her acting. Once I tried some candy in a store, the owner asked me how sweet the candy is, I said sweeter than Julia Robert. 7 both of us broke into a kind of Julia's laugh. Yes, laugh is something we can not do without. Otherwise, our life would be too 8.
Smiling does not belong to human alone. Once I stayed at an American home and he had a little dog named Mini. When I held her gently and asked her to give me a little smile, 9 just opened her mouth wide and half closed her eyes, looking like smiling.
Los Angles is not only the place where it has the most sunshine in a year, 10 where most people smile! That’s why so many people love to travel there all year round.

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 8down 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.
