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.

I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon,and we decided to cool off in the river near my home.As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout,then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was strapped.
I heard a low hum (嗡嗡声), which was growing louder .From a distance,the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke.As it got closer,I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was cover my face with hands.Crazily I thought that if I sat very still( 安静的 ),the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few seconds,I knew my plan hadn’t worked.The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn’t easy.I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down to the rocks.However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected.The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening ,but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool,but I don’t remember doing it.I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe,and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool,the bees flew back over our heads.We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.
