This feeling is often called “culture shock” and it is important to learn how to deal with culture shock. First of all, you should know that everyone in a new situation will go through some form of culture shock. There are four general stages of cultural adjustment(适应). The first stage is usually referred to as the honeymoon stage. Upon arriving in a new environment, youll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting, and everyone will seem friendly and helpful. The second stage is called the withdrawal stage. The excitement that you felt before changes to frustration(沮丧) as you find it difficult to deal with new problems. The language is hard to learn; friends are hard to make; simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges. It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick. If you are one of those who manage to stick it out (坚持下来), you will enter the third stage- the recovery stage. At this point, youll feel more confident in the new culture. Youll start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment. The last stage is the stability stage- this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture. At this stage, you will behave well in the new culture, and prefer some aspects(方面) of the new culture to your own culture. There is, in a sense, a fifth stage to this process. If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture, you may experience what is called “reverse culture shock”. This means that you may find aspects of your own culture “foreign”, because youre so used to the new culture. Reverse culture shock is usually pretty mild(温和的) and doesnt last for very long.11. At the honeymoon stage, people will_. A. find the new culture is hard to accept B. miss their family and friends very muchC. begin to understand what culture shock isD. have a good impression of the new culture12. In which stage will people feel most uncomfortable? A. The honeymoon stage. B. The withdrawal stage. C. The recovery stage. D. The stability stage.13. At the stability stage, people usually feel_. A. lucky B. relaxed C. nervous D. disappointed14. Which of the following opinions does the author agree with? A. Its important to know that culture shock is natural. B. People will suffer less from culture shock in future. C. Reverse culture shock usually happens in the foreign countries. D. Reverse culture shock is as difficult to deal with as culture shock.BSeal(海豹) seizes raftThis seal really rocked the boat when he found himself an unusual place to hang out. After the seal came across a boat in the harbor where he lives, he fell inside and wouldnt budge for four days.“One morning the seal just pulled himself aboard,” says Ed Stubbings, who owns the boat-turned-bed. Probably thinking the boat was a rock, the seal made himself at home. The seal didnt move an inch-not even to eat or drink.Stubbings was a little worried that the 500-pound animal might sink it. Luckily on the fifth day, the seal fell back into the water and swam off.Alligator(短吻鳄)gets new tail When Mr. Stubbs the alligator swims through his pool at the Phoenix Herpetological Society, he looks like any other gator-except that his tail is made of rubber. Mr. Stubbs is the first alligator known to wear an artificial tail. Mr. Stubbs was brought to the society nine years ago. “His tail was missing when he arrived,” says President Russ Johnson. Mr. Stubbs couldnt walk or swim properly. “We showed him how to swim in the water,” Johnson says. “But that hurt his back.” Later, the scientists used rubber to build an artificial tail attached to Mr. Stubbss back legs. “Once we put the tail on him, he walked with ease,” Johnson says.Dog delivers papersMorgan started her “paper route” when she was young. One day as Morgan and her owner Bill set out on a walk, she spotted a rolled-up paper. To Bills surprise, Morgan grabbed the object in her mouth, walked back to the house, and dropped it on the doorstep. Morgan enjoyed the activity so much that she wanted to deliver every paper she saw on her walks.Now three-year-old Morgan brings the paper to her owner and neighbors, even in bad weather. “Morgan has a natural instinct(本能) to carry things with her mouth,” dog behaviorist Pat Miller says. “And she feels rewarded by the activity, so she keeps it up.”15. The underlined word “budge” can be replaced by_. A. move B. change C. swim D. sleep16. It can be learned that Mr. Stubbs_. A. injured his back B. lost his tail and back legs C. quickly got used to his new tail D. was found by Ed Stubbings17. What made Morgan deliver papers? A. Her owner Bills praise. B. Her neighbors rewards. C. Pat Millers encouragement. D. Her natural ability.CIts true to say that technology makes our lives easier. However, increasingly scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a break-otherwise we put ourselves at risk(风险) of developing hundreds of health problems. Over the summer the days are longer and sunnier. Why not put this free time to good use and do something away from technology? You could learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: cooking, a musical instrument or a new sport. Havent you always wanted to learn how to knit(编织)? You could use your free time to practice these new things, which might lead to an exciting opportunity in the future. If you just want to relax, why not head to a beach? Take along your favorite book and relax on the sand, or go for a walk along the coastline. If you dont live near a beach, you could go to your local park. Why not have a picnic, or try to explore some of the local wildlife? You could even get involved in the latest craze(狂热): adult coloring books! Coloring is a surprising thing to help you relax, and it can be a nice way to escape from the stress of modern life! Whatever you choose to do, try something new! You might surprise yourself and find a hidden gift within you; you might make new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself changing TV channels(频道) from one to another without a clear purpose, think about what else you could spend your time doing.18. According to the text, technology_.A. makes our life harder B. may bring us illnessC. keep us busy D. gives us a break from work19.
