Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting and great fun? Certainly, it is a new experience, one that brings the opportunity(機(jī)會) to discover amazing things and a feeling of freedom. But do remember that there are also some challenges you will meet, for your views may disagree with the different beliefs, norms(社會準(zhǔn)則), values and traditions of different countries. This is called “culture shock”. The following are the stages of adjusting.

The first stage is called ”the honeymoon”, where you are excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fantastic.

Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears, “the hostility stage”. You begin to notice that not everything that seemed so wonderful initially is now awful, making you feel distressed and tired. Usually at this point, you use some defense mechanisms(機(jī)制) to help you cope(應(yīng)付) and to protect yourself against the effects of culture shock. Two of them are “repression”, which happens when you pretend that everything is acceptable and that nothing bothers you, and “regression”, when you start to act like a child, sometimes careless and irresponsible. The third kind is “isolation”. You don’t want to communicate with anybody, cutting yourself off the world. The last type is “rejection”, where you think you don’t need anybody, feeling you are coping fine alone.

After you deal with your hostile feelings, next comes the stage, “recovery”, when you begin to see things of a different culture you can learn to appreciate.

The last stage is “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you are able to understand the new culture.

Culture shock is not something you can avoid in a foreign country. Actually, you learn how to interact with other people, and you learn a considerable amount about life in a new culture. Eventually, you learn more-about yourself.

2.Which mechanism does a person apply if he pretends to accept everything in a new culture?

Don’t blame anyone else for your mistake.

3.. Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in admitting to your boss.

4..

I know that there are times when friends are apart for a while – or even forever – and that your lives take different paths. Yet, I always hope for a happy ending. I know that friends reconnect again when it makes sense.

My friend Julie and I had a long period in our friendship. We used to see each other daily. I would eat brown rice in her kitchen while we shared our secrets.

Later, we celebrated each other’s weddings. My husband and I welcomed Julie’s first son (born on my birthday). By the time he was learning to walk, Julie and her family had moved to another city. We spoke on the phone sometimes and exchanged Christmas cards.

After they welcomed their third son, they moved to Edmonton, which is a farther city. We haven’t seen each other since then. They changed their phone numbers. I received a letter from her, but I couldn’t find that envelope later. I e-mailed her a few times, but didn’t get a reply.

It was painful not to be in touch with an old friend. I let it go. I knew that Julie and I would reconnect again, when it made sense.

Last year, Julie’s husband got in touch with me on Facebook. I felt something bad, and soon my feeling proved true: Julie had passed away the month before. She died of cancer.

I regretted that I had not been part of Julie’s support system, or the last years of her joyous, painful time on Earth. I cried. I’m so sorry, Julie, for counting on more chances.

Last week, I donated my hair in memory of Julie to make wigs (假發(fā)) for cancer patients. It was a small way of showing that I loved her and will never forget her. And that I look forward to us reconnecting again – when it makes sense.

1.When apart from her friends, the writer hopes ______.

A. they will be on the same path B. they can still be together some day

C. their friendship will end soon D. they’ll make other better friends

2.______ puts the following events in the correct time order.

a. Julie’s family moved to Edmonton.

b. Julie’s husband found the writer on Facebook.

c. Julie had her first son.

d. Julie died of cancer.

e. Julie wrote the author a letter.

A. c-e-a-b-d B. c-a-e-d-b

C. a-c-e-b-d D. a-e-c-d-b

3.The author donated her hair in order to ______.

A. make wigs for her friend B. forget the painful past

C. reconnect with her friend D. keep her friend deep in mind

4.The author wrote the article to ______.

A. encourage those who suffer cancer to live bravely

B. recall the good time shared with a good friend

C. express her regret of losing a good friend

D. call for more care about those who suffer cancer
