Homesick is a compound (复合的) 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 (定义) of homesick is SICK FOR HOME. It means you miss your home.

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.

举一反三
A PLANE crashed (坠机) in Libya on May 12, killing 103 people on board. The only survivor is a 10-year-old Dutch boy.
This is not the only example of a crash in which everyone but a child died. A 12-year-old girl was the only person to survive a 2009 air crash in the Indian Ocean. When a plane crashed over Sudan in 2003, only a 3-year-old boy survived.
It"s a question that leaves safety experts puzzled. So farthere is not enoughhard evidence forthem to answer withany certainty.
Although unclear, there arereasons to suggestthat children maycope (应对) better than others.
Professor Ed Galea at the University of Greenwich, suggested children would be cocooned(被紧紧抱住) within their seat and therefore might be less probably to receive injuries.
"With an adult with their head above the seat and legs on the floor, they will receive some kind of injury landing on your head and legs," he told the BBC.
"It would be miraculous (奇迹的) to survive that, but there have been cases(情况) of people falling into trees. A smaller body would mean it"s more possible the tree would break your fall," he explained.
Studies found other factors (因素), besides luck, influence the chances of surviving a crash.
One is seating. A study of plane crashed conducted by Poplar Mechanics found that people sitting toward the back of the plane were more probably to survive than those sitting toward the front. A survey conducted by researchers at the University of Greenwich in the UK found that what matters most is how close you are to an exit(出口). Sit in five rows(排) of an exit, and you"ve got better-than-even chances of surviving. Sit in six rows or more away, and your chances are less than 50-50.
Other factors for surviving a plane crash include wearing a seat belt, paying attention to flight instructions and staying alert(警觉) during taking off and landing. And of course, don"t fly with airlines that are the most pobably to crash.

Does your school have any problems with discipline(纪律)? What happens when students step out of line?
Here are some examples of bad behaviour:
• Playing truant(逃学) (missing school without permission from parents).
• Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.
• Cheating on exams.
• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.
• Not doing homework.
• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.
• Wearing unsuitable clothes.
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:
• Exclusion(开除): a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.
• Suspension(停课): a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.
• Detention(拘留): a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.
• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”
Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, _________when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.
Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.
Many UK schools now give parents a home&school contract(契约,合同), explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.         
小题1:The expression “step out of line” in Paragraph 1 probably means________
A.jump the queueB.break the discipline
C.be later for schoolD.fight with others.
小题2:What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To list common bad behavior in UK schools.
B.To show how UK schools deal with students’ parents.
C.To find out why more and more pupils break rules in UK schools.
D.To introduce how UK schools punish students with their discipline.
小题3:Which expression can be filled in the blank in the passage________.
A.covered the story
B.corrected her behavior
C.showed an interest
D.made the news
小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
A.Punishments in UK School
B.What is Bad Behavior?
C.UK School Discipline.
D.Too Many School Rules in the UK

Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students? Just look around you–it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted–only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.
“Children in East Asia basically go to school... go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive (巨大的) educational pressures and the construction (构成) of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.”
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.
小题1:Which of the word has the similar meaning as the underlined phrase “nine in ten”?
A.manyB.fewC.someD.most
小题2:What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia, according to scientists?
A.Too much reading or gaming.B.Lack(缺少)of sunlight.
C.Genetic reasons.D.Lack of exercise.
小题3:What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A.Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape.
B.Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly.
C.Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body.
D.The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.
小题4:According to Morgan, what kind of people are most likely to suffer from nearsightedness?
A.Those who like watching TV.
B.Those who take exercise regularly.
C.Those who study hard and play hard outdoors.
D.Those who stay indoors studying all day

Lost Cat Returned To Owner 12 Years Later

April 3, 2014 – Linda Edwards of Las Vegas, Nevada is full of happiness because her long lost cat Spaz has been returned to her – 12 years after he first went missing!
Spaz first went missing in 2002 and Edwards looked for him every day for three months. She searched all around her town and even wrote letters to some newspapers for help and was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, on New Year’s Eve of 2002 her searching stopped.
But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray cat (流浪猫) and took him into a West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spaz and he belonged to Edwards!
“An old lady found a kitty on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned (扫描) him for a microchip (微芯片) and we were able to find out his owner. The kitty, whose name is Spaz, has been missing for 12 years!” the animal hospital wrote on their Facebook page early last week.
Microchipping pets is a way to recognize if a stray animal belongs to anyone who could be missing them. Microchipping pets allows animal services to learn if they have a family waiting for them. Microchips are only about the size of a grain of rice and can only be removed by operation.
Edwards is very thankful she had Spaz microchipped and was so excited to get him back!
“I feel like I have a second chance,” she said. “This would have never happened if it weren’t for microchips.”

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(寄生虫)found inside snakes’ bodies. ( B ) 它们可能对我们的健康有害。 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(恶性循环)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.
小题1:用 ( A ) 处所给词的正确形式填空。 ________________________

What will happen if people eat more snakes? ____________________________________________________
