“The note is worth twenty yuan. It is _12_ worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter _13_ happens to you, you still have your worth.”

Senior high school life is a very new experience. Li Ruomeng, 16, a Senior 1 student at Shanghai No 8 High School, thinks that he has become more responsible (有责任感的) 1 he began to study in an all-boys class.
Li is studying in one of the first all-boys classes in Shanghai. The classes were started 2 September, 2012. Besides common subjects 3 math and English, the all-boys classes take some special courses. They’ve learned how to stay safe in earthquakes and fires. Li is looking forward to courses in the mountains. “That 4 be exciting and useful. I can’t wait to see if I can live by 5in the mountains.” said Li.
From eight months of study, the students have got a lot from 6 and also made progress in their studies. But there are still some worries that boys in the class may be 7 to get on with girls.
Lu Qisheng, the school’s headmaster, doesn’t agree with that. “The boys told me they have more ways to get on with 8 ,” Lu told China Daily. “One boy goes to next-door classes to 9 girls stories, while another likes to show girls how to dance.”
The school is planning 10 four more all-boys classes this September. “What we try to do is to help boys do their best and achieve their greatest potential (潜能),” Lu said.

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.

Do you know why different animals or pests(害虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be mainly used to 1 themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot 2 catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their 3 with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look 4 . But as the harvest time comes, locusts change into the same brown color 5 crops have. Some other pests whose colors are 6 plants are easily found and eaten by 7 . So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only 8 .
If you 9 animals’ life, you’ll find the main use of colors is to protect 10 . Bears, lions and other animals11 quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters 12 their colors are much like the trees.
Colors are useful not only on the land, but also in the 13 . A kind of fish can 14 a kind of black liquid(液体) when they face danger. The liquid spreads over quickly, so they cannot be found by their enemies and can quickly swim away. That is 15 they can live safely though they are not strong at all. So colors are really useful to animals.
