When you leave home to go and live somewhere ...

When you leave home to go and live somewhere else, you naturally take your own personality and cultural ways with you. When you arrive in a new country with a different culture you can experience different kinds of feelings and reactions. For example, you may feel confused and nervous, and like to depend on others.

If you do experience these things, then you are probably experiencing culture shock. For example, coming to Australia from another country certainly gives you a chance to face many new things: the buildings look different, and the food is not what you are used to. You may not be able to speak with other people confidently.

Learning to function effectively in a new culture is not easy. Meanings in cross-cultural situations are often unclear. This can be stressful because you are not sure what others expect of you or what you can expect of them. In these situations it is natural to feel anxious and frustrated(挫折). If you recognize that these feelings are a normal part of the experience of living away from “home”, you may be able to deal with them more efficiently. Your sense of humor and openness will also help. As you gain greater understanding of the new culture, you can expect the stress to disappear.

Dealing with culture shock needs a special effort, but it is the most important to remember that you are not alone in your feelings of distress. Most people in their first weeks and months in a new country experience similar reactions.

1.This passage mainly tells us _______.

A．How to adapt（适应） to a new environment B．how to live in Australia happily

C．how to study in a new environment          D．how to avoid being nervous

2.Why do people have many kinds of feelings in a new country?

A．Because they are surprised at everything they see.

B．Because buildings are very beautiful.

C．Because culture shock does have a great effect on them.

D．Because they have to learn something quickly.

3.The stress may disappear slowly as you __________.

A．have the ability to get along well with others

B．can know more about the new culture

C．can consider the stress to be normal

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.

One big disadvantage is money—It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A.Staying on the farm. B.Moving to the countryside.

C.Leaving home for the city. D.Running away from the school.

2.Which of the following is true about the writer?

A.He is very old now. B.He is in good health.

C.He prefers driving a car. D.He lives in the city now.

3.In the passage, the writer tries to __________.

A.express his opinions about way of life B.describe his life in the countryside

C.show an interest in the outside world D.persuade the reader to live in the city
