on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means
SICK FOR HOME.
Now think for a minute about. If you change the word home in the definition (释义) to the word sea,
would the definition fit SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different.
Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you want
to be at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to he is at sea.
Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heart-sick doesn"t mean that something is wrong with
a person"s heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are
broken.
But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may
write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.
B. his heart needs testing
C. he"s sorry at heart
D. he"s terribly disappointed (失望) and sad
B. where you want to be least
C. where you go the last
D. the last place you go to
B. difficult to know
C. impossible to learn

on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods,
all at very good prices. You can get things you won"t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about
them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you
are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity"s appeal (呼吁) to aid postwar
Greece had been so successful that it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided to set up a
shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops
in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children"s
books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who
gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags
of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don"t encourage this, rather ask people to bring
things in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than
£110 million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children,
homeless and disabled people, and much more. What a better place to spend your money? You get something
special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on
the environment.
B. its great variety of goods
C. its spirit of goodwill
D. its nice shopping environment
B. deal with unwanted things
C. raise money for patients
D. help a foreign country
B. The staff are usually well paid.
C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.
D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.

around the middle of the 1970"s. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact, it is just a music tape
without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the
