why under my bed! deafened, i saw my shoes flying at me. i jumped to my feet and started yelling. she yelled back louder. the room was filled with anger. we could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. kate answered it. from her end of the conversation, i could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. when she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing.obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. all of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart, slowly, i collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. i got so into my work that i even didnt noticed kate had sat up. she was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. i looked up into her eyes. she smiled at me. thanks. kate and i stayed roommates for the rest of the year. we didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in. cleaning up and holding on.60. what made kate angry one evening? a. she couldnt find her books. b. she saw the authors shoes beneath her bed. c, she got the news that her grandma was ill. d. she heard the author shouting loud.61. the author tidied up the room most probably because_. a. she wanted to show her care b. she hated herself for being so messy c. she was scared by kates anger d. she was asked by kate to do so62. how is paragraph i mainly developed? a. by analyzing causes. b. by describing a process. c. by showing differences. d. by following time order.63. what might be the best title for the story? a. my friend kate b. learning to be roommates c. how to be organized d. hard work pays offc“youre going to the united states to live? how wonderful! youre really lucky!”does this sound familiar? perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. but does it seem true all the time? is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting? a great many facts show that its not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture. they have to experience culture shock.what causes culture shock? maybe the weather is unpleasant. perhaps the customs are different. perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone, post office, or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes. the simplest things seem difficult. the language may be difficult. the food may seem strange to you. if you dont look similar to the natives, you may feel strange. you may feel as if everyone is watching you. in fact, you are always watching yourself.everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another. but culture shock comes as a surprise to most people. a lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries. they were active and successful in their community. they had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed. when they come to a new country, they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries. they find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. they have to build a new self-image.culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation(晕头转向), which may be homesickness, imagined illness, or even paranoia(偏执症). when people feel the disorientation of culture shock, they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time. they want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. they want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security. this escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture. familiarity and experience are the long-term ways to settle the problem of culture shock.64. who is the passage mainly for?a. people who have just moved to a foreign country.b. those who have got rid of culture shock.c. people who can easily adjust their life in the us. d. the family and friends of those who came to the us.65. the underlined part “you are always watching yourself” (in paragraph 3) means _.a. you are always feeling homesickb. you are always worried too much about yourself c. you are always looking at yourself in the mirror d. you are always nervous about meeting other people 66. which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security?a. a new identity. b. strange environment.c. local food d. a new self-image.67. the best way for the newcomers to overcome culture shock is _.a. to stay inside to protect themselves b to make a study of the new hobbiesc.to adapt themselves to the new environmentd to ask people for help when having difficultiesd the youth olympic games, also organized by the international olympic committee(ioc),are a top sporting event for young people from all over the world. an event distinct from other youth sports events ,as they also combine a unique culture and education programme (cep),based around five main themes: olympism, social responsibility, skills development, expression and well-being and healthy lifestyles.the sports programme is based on that of the olympic games, with 28 sports featured on the summer programme and seven on the winter programme. in addition, the programme also includes exciting new disciplines and formats(形式),such as 3-on-3 basketball, ice hockey skills challenge and mixed gender(性别) and mixed national olympic committee(noc)events.away from the field of play and through a variety of fun and interactive activities, workshops and team-building exercises, the cep gives the participating athletes the opportunity to learn about the olympic values, explore other cultures and develop the skills to become true ambassadors of their sport.the youth olympic games aim to bring together talented young athletes aged from 15 to 18 from around the world (205 national olympic committees participated in singapore 2010 and 69 in innsbruck 2012).the summer youth olympic games feature over 3,500 athletes and are held over a 12-day period ,while the winter youth olympic games feature over 1,100 athletes and last 10 days.just like the olympic games ,the youth olympic games are held every four years. the first summer edition was held in sin
