| 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 react 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 strange 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 language, eating new kind s of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great a dventure. 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 the new arrival 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 with most problems that occur. 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 (颠倒、交换)culture shock". Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native 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! |

| 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 culture |
| 2. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock? |
| A. Lonely and depressed B. Bored and homesick C. Happy and excited D. Angry and frustrated |
| 3. How could the third stage be described? |
| A. Adjustment B. Rejection C. Enthusiasm D. Anger |
| 4. Why might reverse culture shock be a problem? |
| A. It hardly ever happens. B. It is extremely stressful. C. Most people do not expect it. D. It only happens to young people. |

| Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns… In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do wha  tever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one"s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. 1. The writer of the passage thinks that _______. A. education can settle most of the world"s problems B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world C. free education won"t help to solve problems D. all the social problems can"t be solved by education 2. The writer wants to prove that _______. A. our society needs all kinds of jobs B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor D. work with hands is the most important 3. The purpose of education is _______. A. to choose officials for the country B. to prepare children mainly for their future work C. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to build a perfect world 4. The passage tells us about _______ of the education. A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type |

The students are happy  about the change.Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first day of the school. "Great!

Wu Hong feels the same. She said the new timetable(时间表) was good for her health. "I used  to getup at 6:30 am.

| Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As some-one who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours. " Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older. Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we"ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we"ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock. When was become as identical as identical as beads(小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-to stop time, so to speak. Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn"t have to be. 1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show . A. psychological time is quite puzzling B. time should not be measured by a pendulum C. physical time is different from psychological time D. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time 2. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older? A. Our sense of time changes. B. We spend less time at the beach. C. More time is structured and scheduled. D. Time is structured with too many appointments. 3. In Paragraph 3 "novelty" probably means . A. excitement B. unfamiliarity C. imagination D. amusement 4. The purpose of the passage is to . A. give various explanations about time B. describe how we experience time psychologically C. show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time D. explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically |
