anayelena 下 (below, under) and 上 (above, on) here are adjectives. The link is when used as a verb 上 starts with to go on, up and 下 starts with to go down, off. There is an implied direction. The other uses as verbs essentially follow from this.

The Vocabulary tab now has mostly 注音符号 zhùyīnfúhào rather than 汉语拼音 hànyǔpīnyīn.

Cockroaches actually do have hearts, simpler than that of a mouse, but hearts nevertheless. Since cockroaches are cold blooded, they are also cold hearted.

A minor, critical edit is needed in the English of the last phrase in the Vocabulary tab.

The audio in the Vocabulary tab is in dire need of repair.

Amber, If you take the sentence of bella08 with your answer, I am coming in the afternoon. 我下午去. Wǒ xiàwǔ qù. and compare it with the first line in the dialog, I am coming tomorrow morning 我明天上午来. Wǒ míngtiān shàngwǔ lái. it would appear that 来 and 去 are interchangeable in this construction, differing only in the speaker's identification with departure or arrival point of view.

Now there is no audio at all for the Dialogue, Vocabulary and Expansion sections for this lesson.
