There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the new comers like their new environment. Then, when the 39 experience dies, they begin to 40 the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the new comers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life 41 .There are some various factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The 42 may be different. The public service systems-the telephone, post office, or transportation- may be difficult to 43 . The most simple things seem to be big problems. The language may be 44 .Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. 45 culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who 46 had any difficulties in their home countries and were 47 in their community. Coming to a new 48 , these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find 49 without a role, almost without an identity. They have to 50 a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying 51 all the time. They want to 52 themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a 53 of safety. This escape does 54 the problem of culture shock in the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and 55 experience-these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.36. A . name B. situationC. expressionD. term37.

This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in traditional classrooms. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.

Used by scientists in various situa- tions, the scientific method is also a clear and logical way to solve many real-world problems, as the procedure below indicates.Step in the Scientific MethodExamplesState the problem or question.“Why doesnt the water level in a glass rise when ice melts?”Collect information about the problem, using your own observations and research.You already know that ice is frozen water. From your research, you learn that water and ice are made of water molecules.Form a hypothesis, or a best guess based on the information.“The molecules in water appear to be closer together than they are in ice.”Test the hypothesis by doing an experiment.Fill four glasses with ice. Then pour water over the ice and fill each glass to the rim. As the ice melts, you observe that the water does not spill over the top of the glasses. Each time you repeat the experiment, you get the same results.Draw a conclusion based on your results.Molecules are closer together in water than they are in ice.60. Which of the following is good title for this passage?A. Research and Conclusion B. Observation and ExperimentC. Follow the Steps to Find Out Why D. Mix Water with Ice and Get the Result61. A hypothesis is _.A. a guess about the cause of something B. the first step in the scientific methodC. a conclusion about water molecules D. an experiment on ice and water62. This passage suggests that _.A. repeated experiments lead to the right resultB. research should be done in various situationsC. your hypothesis can prove your experiment resultsD. a logical method is needed when solving problem63. The chart in the passage is useful because it _.A. shows a diagram of how ice melts B. compares water with iceC. shows steps and examples D. explains cause and effectCMost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identified three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require special attention. The second kind, situations loneliness, is a natural result of a particular- for example, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Many researchers agree that the loneliest people are between the ages 18 and 25, so a group of psychologists decided to study a group of college students. They found that more than 50% of the students were situationally lonely at the beginning of the term as a result of their new circumstances, but had adjusted after a few months. Thirteen percent were still lonely after seven months due to ( because of ) shyness and fear. They felt very uncomfortable meeting new people, even though they understood that their fear was not reasonable. The situationally lonely students overcame their loneliness by making new friends, but the chronically lonely remained unhappy because they were afraid to do so.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons. First of all, they are unhappy and unable to socialize. Secondly, researchers have found a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illnesses such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition.64. The passage mainly talks about _.A. the subjects of psychology. B. the study on lonelinessC. the interests of psychologists. D. the treatment of loneliness.65. All of the following are true EXCEPT that _.A. 37% of the students can overcome loneliness easilyB. temporary loneliness does not need special attentionC. chronic loneliness can cause problems in socializingD. situational loneliness can cause physical problems66. The underlined word “chronic” in paragraph 3 means “_”.A. terrible B. continual C. deadly D. ordinary67. Psychologists want to help the habitually lonely people because _.A. they are college studentsB. they are sad and dangerousC. they intend to communicate with othersD. they may have mental and physical problemsDLife in the UniverseOne of the most exciting questions to which scientists are seeking an answer is, “Are there living things anywhere else in the universe? Is the earth the only body in the whole enormous universe where human beings or anything like human beings exist?”First we must consider what goes to make a living thing, whether plant or animal, and then what conditions living things need in order to go on living. Living things, like everything else, are made of atoms and these atoms are grouped into molecules. A molecule is the very smallest possible bit you can have of any substance. When you break up a molecule of water, for example, you no longer have water at all, but only the atoms of which water is made-one atom of oxygen and two of hydrogen. The molecules of living things are made, not of two or three atoms, but of hundreds or thousands in different complicated patterns.If they become too hot, these comp
