In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more. There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems-the telephone, post office, or transportation-may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult. Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity.They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rises to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.59. The main purpose of the text is_.A. to take pity on the homesickB. to share his feeling about staying abroadC. to introduce the knowledge of culture shock D. to encourage and cheer up the culture shock sufferers60. What does the words “adjust to” (para 1) probably mean?A. Get used to B. Get tired of C. Protect D. Appreciate 61. If one feels homesick, he should_.A. stay inside all the time for safety B. phone his parents or friends in his home country for comfortC. work hard to build a new self-imageD. get to know the new surroundings and gain experience62. Which of the following facts about culture shock is true?A. The successful ones in their community have less difficulty in a foreign environment.B. Culture shock doesnt include such factors as customs, ones native language and so on.C. Culture shock gives rise to the feeling of being lost.D. The specialists going abroad wont experience the stages of culture shock.CWild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to notions they possess a sixth sense for disasters. Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean islands coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found. No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening, H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lankas Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday. The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lankas biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards. There has been a lot of anecdotal evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven, said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. There have been no specific studies because you cant really test it in a lab or field setting, he said. Other authorities concurred with this assessment.” Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting approaching disasters, said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as enemies. The concept of an animal sixth sense - or some other mythical power - is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lankas battered coast is likely to add to. The Romans saw owls as signs of approaching disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals with special powers or attributes(品质.)The tsunami was caused by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean on Sunday. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.63. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Experts discovered that wild animals may have a “sixth sense”.B. it is more likely that wild animals survived the tsunami by their “sixth sense”C. Wild animals, like human beings, have an instinct for disastersD. The wild animals in the Indian Ocean have a “sixth sense” to escape from the tsunami64. According to Mathew van Lierop, _. A. dogs and birds nay sense the danger of coming disaster B. no scientific test proves that the animals have an instinct for disasters C. dogs and birds react strangely before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes D. scientists need to do more in the lab field setting in order to prove it65. The author mentions Romans and many ancient cultures so as to _ A. prove that animals have some magical power B. add to the evidence that animals possess a “sixth sense” C. prove that owls and elephants have a “sixth sense” D. criticize the ancient people for being superstitious(迷信的)66. What is the authors attitude towards the animal “sixth sense”? A. Objective B. Indifferent(漠不关心)C. PuzzledD. Suspicious(怀疑的) D The word “Solon” has come to be a nickname for a lawyer, but not all people know that Solon(639to 599BC) was a real person, who was one of the most famous and respected lawmakers of Athens. He was known as one of the “seven wise men of Greece”. Solon was given right to change laws to help a country in need of freedom. The government assumed political powers. He also got help from courts in which citizens could appeal against official decisions. Any citizen who even didnt belong to any class of society could become a member of the public law courts. The rich and the poor theoretically had equal rights. However, Solon did not establish a democracy, but an oligarchy. Only citizens of the high classes could hold public office and only citizens of the highest class could hold the leadership. It is interesting to compare ancient Greece with America today. In America, nearly all citizens can vote, even those from the lowest class. However, it may also be true that only those from the highest or wealthiest classes are elected to the highest offices of the USA. According to historians, Solon was away from the country for 10 years. When he returned, he found that the country was at war with itself. Pisistratus became the leader. In history, Pistratus was famous as a tyrant. Every person want to know whether mankind is doomed to repeat its mistakes forever. Our group suggests that members of congress be elected for a six-year term. At the end of that term, each congress person will be decided whether he should be appointed for life or not. If it becomes true, these persons should do their best to support the true interest of the people, rather than worry about his own political future. 67. What does the author actually suggest at the end of the first paragraph? A. In fact the rich and the poor had no equal political rightsB. In fact the rich and the poor had equal political rightsC. In his opinion the rich and the poor had equal political rightsD. In the historians opinion the rich and the poor had equal politic
