shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been suddenlytransplanted abroad. like most ailments it has its own symptoms and cure. culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs andsymbols of social intercourse. those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we 4orient ourselves to the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meetpeople when and how to give tips how to make purchases when to accept and when to refuseinvitations when to take statements seriously and when not. these cues which may be words gesturesfacial expressions customs or norms are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are asmuch a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. all of us depend for ourpeace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues most of which we do not carry on the levelof conscious awareness. now when an individual enters a strange culture all or most of these familiar cues are removed.he or she is like a fish out of water. no matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be aseries of props have been knocked from under you followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety.people react to the frustration in much the same way. first they reject the environment which causes thediscomfort. “the ways of the host country are bad because they make me feel bad.” when foreigners ina strange land get together to grouse about the host country and its people you can be sure they aresuffering from culture shock.

she may begin to hate the people or things around him or her.5. this passage is most likely taken from _. a a news report b a grammar book c a book on medicine and psychology d an essay on human customs文化冲击可能被称为人谁已经国外suddenlytransplanted的一种职业病。大多数疾病一样,它有自己的症状和治疗。文化冲击沉淀焦虑,失去了所有我们熟悉的标志andsymbols社会交往的结果。这些迹象或线索,包括一千零一种方法,使我们4orient自己日常生活的情况:当握手言和该说些什么当我们meetpeople的何时以及如何给予提示如何让采购接受时,当refuseinvitations录取口供时,认真,不用时。这可能是的话gesturesfacial表达式习俗或规范所收购的这些线索我们所有的人在长大的过程中,引擎的一部分,我们的文化,我们讲的语言或接受我们的信念。我们依靠这些线索,其中大部分我们不进行的levelof的意识,数百ourpeace的心态和我们的工作效率。现在,当一个人进入一个陌生的文化,全部或大部分这些熟悉的线索removed.he或她是像离开水的鱼。无论多么宽广的胸怀充满商誉,你可能是一系列的道具下你被撞倒后的反应在大致相同的方式感到沮丧挫折和anxiety.people的感觉。首先,他们拒绝的环境导致thediscomfort。东道国“的方式是不好的,因为他们让我觉得不好。”,当外国人ina陌生的土地扎堆松鸡东道国和它的人民,你可以肯定他们aresuffering文化冲击。文化冲击的另一个阶段是回归。

was a strange god with two faces that could look in two directions.he could look forward and back at the same time,so he was the god of beginnings and endings.january,the first month of the year,is a time at which one looks forward to the new year and back to the old year. 2.the name february comes from a roman celebration called februa.februa was a celebration of cleaning.toward the end of february,after the long winter months,people begin to think of spring cleaning.this probably was the origin of the name of the month.february has only twenty-eight days except every fourth year,when it has an extra day.this is because in every year there are exactly 365 days and six hours.at the end of four years,these six extra hours of each year add up to twenty-four hours,or one full day.this fourth year,in which february has twenty-nine days,is called leap year. 3.the third month,march,was named after the roman god of war,mars.mars was a strong god,and the roman people always connected him with thunder and lightning.pictures of mars always show him with lightning above his head.it is natural that march should be named after this god since in most of north america,it is a month of strong winds,rain,and storms.there is frequent thunder and lightning in march. 4.the exact origin of the word april is not known.the word probably comes from the latin word aperire,meaning to open.today,the italian word for to open is aprire and the spanish word is abrir.in the month of april,the skies open and give us rain.the rain aids in the opening of life among trees,grass,and flowers. 5.may was named after the young and beautiful goddess of the fields,maia.maia was the mother of the god mercury.another beautiful goddess,juno,the wife of jupiter,give us the name of the month of june. 6.the seventh month of the year,july,was named after julius caesar.caesar was a famous general who became dictator of rome.before the time of caesar,the year began in march instead of in january.caesar made a new calendar,which is the one we use at present.he himself was born in july,the seventh month of the new calendar. 7.after julius caesar,his grandnephew augustus became the ruler of rome.augustus real name was octavian,but when he became emperor,the people wished to please him.they gave him the title of augustus,meaning noble,and they named the eighth month,august,after him. 8.the months of september,october,november,and december need little explanation.in our calendar today,they are the ninth,tenth,eleventh,and twelfth months.but in the old calendar before julius caesar,they were the seventh,eighth,ninth,and tenth months.their names therefore came from the latin words for seventh,eighth,ninth,and tenth. 1.在英语里,一年中每个月份的名字来源于拉丁语。january(一月)、march(三月)、may(五月)和june(六月)都是用罗马神的名字来命名的。january(一月)得名于神宙斯。宙斯是个奇特的神,他有两张脸能看两个方向。他能同时看到前面和后面,所以,他是开始和结束的神。january(一月),一年的第一个月,是向前展望新年的时刻,也是向后回顾旧年的时刻。2.february(二月)的名字来源于一个罗马庆典的日子(februa)。该日庆祝清洁。接近二月底,在漫长的冬季月份之后,人们开始考虑春天的清洁。大概是february(二月)这个名字的起源吧。除了每四年一次的额外多的一天,二月仅仅有二十八天。这是因为每一年实际上有365天6小时。在四年的年底,把每年额外的6小时累加,恰好是24小时,或者说是完整的一天。这个二月有29天的第四年被称为闰年。3.march(三月),一年中的第三个月,得名于罗马战神玛斯(mars),玛斯是一位强壮的神,罗马人把它与雷鸣电闪联系在一起。玛斯的像头部总是被画上闪电。三月以这个神命名是很自然的,因为北美洲的许多地方,三月是强风、大雨和暴风雪的季节。在三月,经常有雷鸣和闪电发生。4.april(四月)这个词的确切来源并不为人所知。这个词也许来源于拉丁语的aperire,意思是“打开”。今天意大利语中的“打开”是aprire,西班牙语则是abrir。在april(四月),天空似乎打开并赐给我们雨水,雨水给树木、草、花朵带来生机。5.may(五月)得名于年轻美丽的原野女神玛雅(maia)。玛雅是神麦克瑞(mercury)的母亲。另外一个美丽的女神朱诺(juno)是丘比特的妻子,她给了我们june(六月)的名字。6.一年中的第七个月,july(七月),得名于以朱利斯凯撒(julius caesar)。凯撒是一个著名的将军,后来成为罗马帝国的独裁者。在凯撒帝国之前,每年开始于三月而不是一月。凯撒创造了一部新历法,也就是我们现在使用的这部历法。凯撒自己也出生于july(七月),即新历法的第七个月。 7.在凯撒之后,他的外孙奥古斯塔斯(augustus)成为罗马的统治者。奥古斯塔斯的真名叫屋大维。但是当他成为君主后,人们为取悦他,给了他奥古斯塔斯的头衔,意思是“贵族”。在他之后,人们称一年的第八个月为august(八月)。 8.september(九月)、october(十月)、november(十一月)、和december(十二月)需要一些小小的解释。它们在我们今天的日历里是一年的第九、第十、第十一和第十二个月,但是在凯撒以前的古历法中,它们是一年的第七、第八、第九、和第十个月。因此,它们名字源自拉丁文的第七(september),第八(october),第九(november),和第十(december)。1、what

education, produces a brand of kids that dont know what to do when entering university. they are disciplined into following, not leading. yet the future depends on creativity and imagination. the world needs creators, makers and shakers of the new centuries, not the followers of the past centuries. as the numbers increase at college and university level, more students from the lower ends are likely to be thrown into a system designed to choose only learners that have proved excellent in listening to teachers. there are three ways to learn: looking, listening and doing.students and teachers today are a product of learning by listening. the computer may not be liked by traditional teachers, who use rote-learning to put information, which will be out of date in a few years, into the heads of the students. with computer learning you learn by looking, listening and doing; you use three methods of learning, not just one. therefore, you can learn faster.the changing speed of information is frightening. what we learn now will be out of date in the near future. so what students are learning now at school may be replaced by the time they finish university. we have to learn by choice what to forget. rote-learning for exams is one thing, but wouldnt it be better to learn how to learn?the students at university today could possibly be doing a job in the not too distant future which has not yet been invented.1、according to the author, the future doesnt need a、creativityb、imaginationc、creatorsd、followers2、in the authors view, how can students learn well? a、carefully listen to the teacher in class.b、take down every single word said by the teacher. c、learn all the notes by h
