Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in different cultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three typical characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.
Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm when things do not go as one wants them to, or as one hopes they would, or even as one was sure they would. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.
A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reaction than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.
“The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept to understand than patience and a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear as they are newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in a certain situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like that I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said. “Things are just so different here.”
1.The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. about some uneasy traveling experiences in foreign countries
B. about the three main ways to communicate with foreigners
C. about some typical characteristics in different cultural experiences
D. how to show your characters to foreigners
2.According to the passage, which characteristic should be focused on most?
A. The ability to keep cool. B. The sense of humor.
C. Patience. D. The awareness of being unclear.
3.“The awareness of being unclear” refers to “______” .
A. not knowing what is happening in a situation
B. not understanding the local language well enough
C. being aware that the situation is unclear
D. not knowing how some system or organization works
4.By what the Chinese graduate student said, we can learn that ______.
A. he is not used to the culture of America
B. he went to the United States to study the moon
C. he is a person with a sense of humor
D. he has just returned from the moon

My own experiment with culture shock came to a fruitless end when I returned with homesick from a year’s study in Italy. I had never heard of culture shock. All I knew was that I was unhappy and wanted to go home.
That was twenty years ago, and since then culture shock has become a real field of study. It is now understood that any normal person, finding him or herself for an extended time in a new culture, is in for trouble.
The process of “culture shock” is now recognized as so predictable that its four stages have been noticeable. The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows. In this stage, the new country and its people seem delightful. Everything is better than home. Everything is so different and charming.
Then the bloom comes off the rose. Now the people start to look shallow, selfish and stupid. The different ways of doing things don’t seem interesting any more. You start to feel tired all the time. Culture shock has set in. You feel at sea.
The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression and anxiety, and resentment can all enter to varying degrees. You may become physically ill. Little things seem terribly annoying.
The happier resolution is to move on to stage three. Adjusting. Rather than itemizing（列舉） what’s “wrong” with Americans, you remind yourself that “right” and “wrong” are not meaningful terms in cultural matters.
Instead, you try to understand what motivates Americans, perhaps realizing that many of the things you don’t like are related to the things you do like.
As time goes on, you should be moving into stage four. Acceptance. At this point, you simply don’t think any more about the specialties of Americans. You accept them as individuals. You have started to feel at home; you know how to do things. You have not rejected your old culture; but the American ways have settled upon you. You feel optimistic about your future here. You have truly arrived.
1.Why do people not suffer from culture shock when they first arrive in a foreign country?
A．They love to travel.
B．They don’t stay in one place long enough.
C．The new country and its people are delightful.
D．Everything is so different and charming.
2.What do you understand by the underlined sentence “Then the bloom comes off the rose”?.
A．The rose comes up. B．The rose blooms.
C．Something good comes about. D．Something good goes away.
3.Which one is the possible psychological effect of culture shock on the second stage?
A．Anxiety. B．Excitement. C．Shock. D．Delight.
4.Which of the following statements will the writer agree with?
A．Any normal person facing a new culture will be in trouble.
B．Culture shock is now recognized as unpredictable.
C．There is no “right” and “wrong” in terms of cultural matters.
D．When you reject your old culture, you can accept the new one.
5.The passage is mainly about __________.
A．the study of culture shock
B．how to get rid of culture shock
C．the writer’s own experiment with culture shock
D．the four stages of culture shock and their features

The 115-year-old prestigious (有名望的)Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like“shanzhai” “youtiao” and “fangnu”, as part of the modern Chinese language．
As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy, the Chinese language is forever developing, attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet lively language．
For instance, the word “shanzhai” is used to describe the countless knockoffs（名牌仿制品）of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos．
Another new term in the new edition is the word “fangnu”, or a “mortgage slave” —a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities where well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage．
All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English –Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary that was unveiled(公布于眾的)in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week．
The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month．This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670,000 words and phrases after five years of preparation．Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China—the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press—worked together on the project．According to Julie Kleeman, the dictionary’s chief editor, most of the firm’s editors were Chinese, while about one fourth were native-English speakers．
“We don’t want to make it florid（絢麗的）, we want it to be modern and conversational．．．many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use,” said Kleeman．“The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago．．．Precise, native and practical—that is our main advantage,” she said．
Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace．The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide．The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad, will be ready “as soon as possible”, Kleeman said．
1. According to the above passage, we learn that ________．
A．knockoffs can be found in China but not very often.
B．the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid.
C．most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English.
D．well-educated youth in China’s big cities have difficulty buying houses.
2. The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that ________．
A．book versions can’t keep up with the changes of language.
B．the computer network is available everywhere.
C．book versions can’t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide.
D．computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A．New Chinese terms like “shanzhai” and “fangnu” have got into Oxford Dictionary．
B．The latest Oxford English-Chinese, Chinese-English Dictionary is on the market．
C．Oxford Dictionary has become more fashionable due to the Chinese language．
D．Beijing International Book Fair was where the new Oxford Dictionary was published
