Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult.After we have settled down into 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 period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or 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 humour 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 surroundings.You can cope(deal) with most problems that occur.You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
小题1:This passage mainly talks about ________.
A.culture and foreign language learning | B.adventures in a foreign land |
C.getting used to a new culture | D.the interaction of different cultures |
A.Lonely and depressed | B.Bored and homesick |
C.Happy and excited | D.Angry and frustrated |
A.1st | B.2nd | C.third | D.fourth |

But eventually, kids grow up and become teens.It’s totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it’s what prepares them for adulthood.But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it.
In most families, it’s this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.Teens get angry because they feel parents don’t respect them and aren’t giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren’t used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens’ decisions.
It’s easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these.And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions.It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though.In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don’t see your point of view and never will.But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy.Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.
小题1:Why do parents always want to control their children?
A.They are afraid to lose their children. |
B.They want to protect their children. |
C.They don’t believe the ability of their children. |
D.They can’t accept their children are growing. |
A.fight with their parents bravely for their rights |
B.obey their parents without any doubt |
C.communicate with their parents actively |
D.persuade their parents in as many ways as possible |
A.most parents will give in while fighting with their children |
B.the conflict between parents and teenagers can be solved |
C.the only way for teens to get freedom is to leave home |
D.only few parents do well in facing the growth of their children |
“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”
Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity.
Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean.“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said.“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”
When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮) .The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机) .
The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland.
The resource is huge.We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal.
Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface.That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world.There are some drawbacks, however.
Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money.He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown.Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.
With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said.“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world.Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”
In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
小题1:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Wave power doesn’t cost too much money. |
B.Wave energy is so clean that it doesn’t create the same amount of pollution as other energy sources. |
C.Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic. |
D.Wave power may affect marine animals. |
A.finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energy |
B.wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world |
C.wave power is not quite perfect for creating energy around the world |
D.wave power doesn’t create any pollution |
A.regrets | B.adventures | C.disadvantages | D.difficulties |
A.How to Get Electricity by Waves | B.The advantages of Wave Energy |
C.Can Waves Make Electricity? | D.The Disadvantages of Wave Energy |
This 9 may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also 10 , including man, have this “inner clock” which 11 the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious 12 . Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
In the past, this did not really 13 because people lived in natural condition. In the 14 world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very 15 , then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.
This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.
Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone(臭氧)levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.
“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.

A.warm the climate as the supposition goes |
B.allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate |
C.destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice |
D.help to gain more energy rather than release more energy |
People tend to live up to expectations.We get out of life just about what we put into it.Our environment becomes a mirror of our spirit, our attitude, and expectations.If we set a great goal, we get great results.If we have a fair goal, we accomplish fair results, and if we have a poor goal, we accomplish poor results.The world will give you back what you expect, so expect the very best.Don"t be defensive or doubtful.Nothing changes unless you do.Before you can do something, you"ve got to be something.Know that you have worth and value.Show that to the world.
Treat everyone you come in contact with as the most important person in life.It will build self-esteem (自尊心).Smile! You"ll be rewarded with a returned smile.Don"t react to others rudely.Forgive everyone who ever hurt you.Then, forgive yourself.Keep yourself healthy.Exercise.Eat a proper diet.Display an attitude of confidence.
Develop these good habits and your expectancy will be rewarded by successes.This attitude will put you into that group of people who are truly successful, because you will know and understand how an expectant attitude enhances (提高) every aspect of your life.
