20、 Director of the Point Four training program at the Foreign Service Institute. In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of them had been highly uncomfortable because of culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock.The problem is that, relat
21、ively speaking, Americans live in a noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage ( 清教徒文化遗产).

27、 and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yoruself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes t
28、hey will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks.
