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.

| We may know 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(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! |
| 1. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock? |
| A. Lonely and sad. B. Bored and homesick. C. Angry and impatient. D. Happy and excited. |
| 2. How could the third stage be described? |
| A. Adjustment. B. Pulling away. C. Shock. D. Anger. |
| 3. The underlined phrase "at ease" in the fifth paragraph may probably mean ________. |
| A. good B. relaxed C. bad D. nervous |
| 4. What"s the main idea of the passage? |
| A. Human beings would pass through four stages when they begin to live in a new culture. B. Entering and living in a new culture is challenging(挑战). C. It is much fun to live in a new culture. D. Life in a new culture is a struggle. |
