Maupassant（居·莫泊桑）was born in 1850 in northern France. His early life was not happy. His parents separated when he was 11. Most of his education came informally from Gustave Flaubert—his mother’s friend and his godfather, a journalist and novelist. Often Flaubert would let him take a walk and then ask him to write 100 lines about what he saw. This type of training developed in Maupassant a sense of observation, which he later put to use in his writing. Flaubert also allowed Maupassant to attend his Sunday gatherings with others in his literary circle

Growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in New York City, my life was not always easy. My mother raised us in a city-owned apartment and my father suffered from drug problems. However, there was love at home. Quite often, my mother would have movie nights with us. One night, my mom came home with the movie To Sir, With Love, starring Sidney Poitier. In this movie, Mr. Poitier played a handsome, well-dressed, educated but strict teacher. As I watched, I was reminded of someone who I admired — Mr. John Walker.

Mr. Walker was my fifth-grade teacher. I remember getting my report card on the last day of fourth grade and seeing the words “New Teacher: Mr. Walker”. I was excited because I’d never had a male teacher before. On my first day of fifth grade, Mr. Walker laid down the class rules. I sat at my desk nervously, thinking, “How do I get out of his class?” I had no idea is class would be one of the most influential times in my life.

Mr. Walker always brought active things to our lives. He would give us weekly speeches, telling us that we didn’t have to be products of our environments — doing had things or spending a life in prison. Mr. Walker always told us that we could do anything we wanted to do.

The first time I ever left New York City was for a school trip on a farm that Mr. Walker arranged for us. It was an overnight trip. We prepared for months by holding bake sales to raise money. Mr. Walker worked so hard. He wanted us to experience life outside of our own small world.

One day, Mr. Walker said we could put on a play in class. He said, “Waliek, this is your chance to show us what you’ve got, so if you want the lead part, you’d better go home and learn it by tomorrow.” I ran home and remembered the whole play in one night. I think I did this more for Mr. Walker. He knew that I wanted to be an entertainer (表演者) and he believed in me. So he gave me that chance.

Another day, the school had a special performance and we noticed that Mr. Walker brought a special briefcase with him. As the host called on him, our class became nervous with excitement and curiosity. He opened his special briefcase and pulled out a gold trumpet (喇叭). Before he started, he devoted his performance to all the students, especially our class. It was the most beautiful music I’d ever heard. I was so shocked and amazed. My teacher was not only one of the coolest, best dressed, educated men, but he was also an entertainer — just like me.

When I created my list of people who had a great influence on me, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. Walker topped my list. He changed the course of my life.

Specialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to (适应) their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick(想家), people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

1.According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except _____.

A. language communication

B. weather conditions and customs

C. public service systems

D. homesickness

2.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, __________.

A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroad

B. the more difficulties you may have abroad

C. the more money you will earn abroad

D. the less homesick you will feel abroad

3.The underlined word in the last paragraph mostly probably means ________.

A. being homesick　 　　 B. being lost

C. protecting oneself D. gaining experience

4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Escape unfamiliar environment

B. The feeling of homesickness.

C. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock.

D. The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar with the new culture.
