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 (From: http://gzyy cooco.net.cn) Question 31 When does culture shock happen?

Geologists explain them in terms of a theory known as plate tectonics Continents are floating apart from each other; this is referred Trang to as the continental drift About sixty miles below the surface of the sea, there is a semi-molten bed of rock over which plates, or slabs, carry continents and sea floors at a rate of several inches a year As the plates separate from each other, a new sea floor is formed by the molten matter that was formerly beneath Volcanic islands and large mountain ranges are created by this type of movement The collision of plates causes geological instability such as that in California called the San Andreas Fault, located between the Pacific and North American plates The plates there are constantly pushing and pulling adjacent plates, thereby creating constant tremors and a potential for earthquakes in the area Geologists would like to be able to predict earthquakes accurately Using laser beams, seismographs, gravity-measuring devices, and radio telescopes, they are presently studying the San Andreas Fault to determine the rate of strain and the amount of ground slippage Calculations indicate that sometime in the future, California will be struck by a major earthquake In spite of the geologists' theory of plate tectonics, there are still gaps in man's understanding and knowledge of the causes of earthquakes Powerful earthquakes have occurred in places where plate boundaries are hundreds of miles away In the 1800s New Madrid, Missouri, and Charleston, South Carolina, were shaken by earthquakes that no one had foreseen Certain areas of the world are quake prone Italy, Yugoslavia, and Algeria have experienced many quakes In November 1980, Naples was struck by an especially devastating quake China and Japan have also been hit by horrendous quakes In 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were reduced to rubble by gigantic tremors that were followed by fires, tornadoes, and finally a thirty-four-foot tsunami, or tidal wave, which was caused by the earth's drop into the waters of Tokyo Bay What effects have geologists' predictions of earthquakes had? The Chinese in Haicheng in 1974 were warned that an earthquake might occur within the next year or two With the help of amateur seismologists' observations of animal behavior and the rise and fall of water in wells and measurements of quantities of radioactive gas in water, professional geologists were able, in January 1975, to predict an earthquake within the next six months On February 4, Haicheng was destroyed, but because its residents had been evacuated, very few people were killed In California, where earthquake is an ever-present menace, building codes now require quakeproof structures, and Civil Defense units have intensified their training in how to deal with disaster should it strike or, perhaps more accurately, when it strikes Question 36 Continental drift is the
