If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morn

23、ing. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel ” Every question has its time and place. Its perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel ” if you

24、re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, its no time to ask him that silly question.

27、nd of warning 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D Experts say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term 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

28、 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 their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more. There are some obvi

29、ous 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 b ig problems. The language may be difficult. Who feels culture shock Every

30、one 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 es

31、tablished positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. Culture shock gives rises to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘 ). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to prote

32、ct themselves from the strange environment, and create and 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 exper

A will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty B have well prepared for the new surroundings C will get used to the culture of the country quickly D will never be familiar

44、1】 B 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 C One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldnt or couldnt sleep, I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him.

47、rely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools.

After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a
