READING COMPREHENSION

A Read the passage and choose the best answers

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality reacts to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another

Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage” This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is trance and exciting

We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and languege, eating new kinds of food This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time because we feel are involved in some kind of great adventure

Unfortunately, the second stage of culture shock can be more difficult After we have settled down into our new life, working or studying, buying groceries, doing laundry,

or living with a home-stay family, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, girlfriend or boyfriend, pets

All the little problems that everybody in life has seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture This period cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture This “rejection stage” can be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits (smoking and drinking too much, being too concerned over food or contact with people from the new culture) This stage is considered a crisis in the process of cultural adjustment and many people choose to go back to their homeland or spend all their time with people from their own culture speaking their native language

The third stage of culture shock is called the “ adjustment stage” This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture Your sense of humor usually by learning to take care of yourself in the new place Things are still difficult, but you are now are now a survivor!

The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last “ Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings You can cope with most problems that occur You may still

have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived, you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock

There is a fifth stage of culture shock “ Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home Life is a struggle!

31 When dose culture shock happen?

A When you reach your teens

B When you move to a big city

C When you meet foreign people for the first time

D When you go to live in a foreign

32 How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?

A Lonely and depressed

B Bored and homesick

C Strange and excited

D Angry and frustrated

33 How do you feel during the second stage?

A Homesick and tired

B Interested and amused

C Stressed and tired

D you have no particular feelings

34 how could the third stage be described?

A Adjustment

B Rejection

C Enthusiasm

D Happy

B Choose the suitable word to fill in each blank

NORFOLK – THE IDEAL HOLIDAY PLAYGROUND

This article is the work of someone born and (36) up in Norfolk It is not impartial On the whole, I’m near to being a fanatic about the county and all it has to (37) It you want to consider other holiday destinations, you are best advised

to go elsewhere for your information

So why I am so incredibly keen on my native county ? Firstly, it’s clean This stems from the fact that the population is very low – less than half the average for an

English county Because there are fewer people, there are fewer chimneys, fewer towns and fewer cars And whereas other rural counties have motorways (38)

through them, Norfolk – largely bounded by sea – has very little through traffic whatsoever, and not an inch of motorway

Norfolk offers a hundred miles of beautiful inland waterways and , in addition a hundred miles of uncoil coastal scenery (39) The coast there are nature

reserves where seals, rare birds and other wildlife thrive in profusion

Long distance footpaths follow almost the whole of this coast and people wander slowly along them peering through binoculars This is quite an amusing sight, though one sometimes fears for their safety near to the edge of the cliffs!

If you’re feeling (40) , Norfolk is the place for you!

37 A praise B provide C offer D give

38 A with B Next C Beside D Along

39 A lowly B worn C weary D heavy
