题目列表(包括答案和解析)
My mum was (and still is ) a fast-food cook. My dad worked in a factory. When I was a little girl, my
sister and I saw them come home very tired night after night. We knew how hard they worked and we
appreciated (满意) everything we received.
On the other hand, my kids see me work at the computer in the comfortable home. We live in a town
where most children get pretty much everything they want. Heartfelt thanks are few. So how do we make sure
the kids understand the value (价值) of all that they have?
◆It's important to explain (解释) to them why you can't buy expensive presents. Today's newspapers
and TV programs seem to be calling on children to ask for everything, so it helps to discuss what's really
possible and what's not.
◆It's also necessary to show them not all presents come from a shop. For example, next holiday they can
make cakes for all their friends and decorate the boxes themselves.
◆Give older children chances to serve in kitchens, tell them about people who have nothing on cold wet
nights and tell them about parts of the world where food cannot be found.
◆Encourage them to give some of their pocket money to others. Give away unwanted clothes and toys
to those who need them.
◆Set time to have them write down things they are thankful for. Then they will know all they have. And
teach them to say thank you for any present they receive.
◆In the end, the most important thing is you should do everything you ask your kids to do.

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.
