if so, then you are a thirdculture kid!the term “thirdculture kid” (or tck) was coined in the 1960s by dr ruth. she first came across this phenomenon when she researched north american children living in india. caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 1 about 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. they usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. 2 in fact, many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. a thirdculture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a thirdculture kid. 3 while this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a thirdculture kid like max to maintain close friendships and relationships.for a thirdculture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country.after living in australia and south korea for many years, louis finally returned to turkey as a teenager. but she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 4 she did not share the same values with her friends even years after going back home.while a thirdculture kid must let go of(放弃) his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. the peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. 5 as a part of the growing “culture”， thirdculture kids may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.ayet being a thirdculture kid is not always easy.bin general, they often reach excellent academic results.cthis often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.dhowever, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.etheir experience abroad helps them gain a better understanding of cultural differences.funlike other teens of her age, she didnt know anything about current tv shows or fashion trends.gadditionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a thirdculture kid.语篇导读本文为说明文，主要介绍了第三文化的孩子的形成、发展、艰苦经历及其面对的困难。随着文化的日趋发展，第三文化的孩子在异国经受着巨大的挑战。1解析 b顺承关系。根据空处下一句可知，他们通常都会在学业上取得优异的成绩，且下文they usually benefit from their intercultural experience中的they usually与b项中的they often相呼应，故选b项。2解析 a总分关系。根据空处下一句可知，该段应是讲第三文化的孩子也会遇到很多困难，故选a项。3解析 g递进关系。根据空处上一句可知，第三文化的孩子要经历一段陌生感的时期，这与g项中要交新朋友和与老朋友说再见相吻合，故选g项。4解析 f诠释关系。根据空处上一句可知，louis回到自己出生的国家时已不能适应(out of place)，f项中的she didnt know与空处下一句中的she did not share构成平行句式，符合语境，故选f项。5解析 c因果关系。根据该段首句中提到的let go of(放弃) his/her identity可知，第三文化的孩子所面对的同龄人和他们想象中的家乡的同龄人的观念不符，他们很难形成自己的认知，本段首尾呼应，故选c项。.短文改错i will never forget my teacher miss lee, who my english teacher when i
