　　Homesick is a compound (復(fù)合的) word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means 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 SEASICK. If you change the word home in the definition (釋義) to the word sea, would it be the definition for SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different. SEASICK means MADE SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the last place 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 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, handstand, and handbag. Perhaps you may write definition for them.

1．The word SEASICK means “________.”

[　　]

A．to be eager to go to the sea

B．what has nothing to do with the sea

C．to be sick because of the sea

D．that the sea is terrible

2．When we say a person is heartsick, we mean that ________.

[　　]

A．his hearts it broken
B．his heart needs testing
C．he's sorry at heart
D．he's terribly disappointed and sad

3．“The last place you want to be”is ________.

[　　]

A．where you want to be most

B．where you want to be least

C．where you go the last

D．the last place you go to

[　　]

B．difficult to know
