Wisconsin. So when McCarty wanted to build a playground for kids with special
needs. 2,800 people ? a third of the town ? rolled up their sleeves(衣袖)and
helped her.
"A lot of learning comes through play," said McCarty, 52, a special
education teacher for 28 years. But her students were too often left out. She"d
seen the traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks.
On September 16, 2008, the first day of the project, they came. Two women
heard about the project on the way to work and took the day off to help. A couple
in their 80s took part in the job. Children came and gave a helpful hand. Many
were volunteers. They all worked very hard.
Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in
Ozaukee County. All children can play shoulder to shoulder. There is special
equipment(装置) in different parts. Here, you see all the kids on the same
playground having fun.
"People used to ask. "Why do you want to build a playground just for

build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all
children."

The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture,and this is shown in traditional dress. You
often find three colours-red, gold and green-in the clothing．The first colour stands for (象征) the blood
of millions of people who suffered as slaves (奴隶); the second is for the rich resources (资源) of the
African earth; and the third represents the grasslands of home．
Because clothing has a strong social meaning, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It
would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing, or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For
example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband (腰带) differently according to the importance
of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose (宽松的)
clothing. Tile climate, with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges (变化), requires that the clothes are
comfortable for daily life.
Although many people wear Western clothes,particularly in the big cities in Africa,traditional African
dress is very highly valued. This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
1. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the history of clothes in Africa
B. modern fashion styles in Africa
C. the meanings of traditional dress in Africa
D. the materials used in traditional dress in Africa
2. According to the passage,red _____.
A. represents the setting sun

3. Traditional dress should also be practical because _____.
A. it needs to keep people dry in the rainy season

D. it has deep cultural meanings
culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock(文化冲击), is the way our head and our personality
react to(对…做出反应) the strange new things we meet with when we move from one culture to another.
Culture begins with the "honeymoon stage". This is the time when we first arrive in which everything about the
new culture is strange and exciting. We see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This
stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are very excited.
Unluckily, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have got used to our new life, we can become very
tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much
bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This time of cultural adjustment(调整) can be
very difficult and lead to pulling away from the new culture.
The third stage 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 becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger
by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal
with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong
enough to deal with them.
There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don"t know about. This is called "reverse culture shock".
Surprisingly, this happens when you go back to your own culture and find that 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!
