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?

B. Bored and homesick.
C. Strange and excited.
D. Angry and frustrated.
33. How do you feel during the second stage?

B. Interested and amused.
C. Stressed and tired.

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!

36. A. brought B. raised C. reared D. grown
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
