Working or learning in a foreign country can be a difficult experience, both professionally and personally, because of the culture shock.
The hardest part of working abroad isn't finding a place to stay or learning the language. It's learning to overcome the culture shock. The anthropologist(人类学家) Kalvero Oberg first put forward the term 'culture shock'. He reported that the culture shock was caused by the 'anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse(社交) while living and working in another culture'.
These things are part of everyday life, and include many signs, gestures, facial expressions, and customs. When we enter a new culture, these cues(提示) are usually not present or so different that they're no longer understandable to us.
'When a person enters a foreign culture, ' wrote Oberg, 'all or most of these familiar cues are eliminated. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded he or she may be, lots of props(支柱) have been knocked out from the environment.'
This is what happened to Lara, a young IT consultant(顾问) from America moved last year to their company in southern Europe. Three weeks after she arrived in Europe, Lara sent a desperate e-mail begging to return home. 'The people are so unfriendly, ' Lara wrote. 'They eat at strange hours and I'm starting to get allergic(过敏的) to the local food. I can't get anything done because their way of doing business is so disorganized and so inefficient and I have a terrible skin itch because of the water. I want to come home!'
What Lara and other IT consultants meet on their first assignment abroad is a culture shock. While you can't prevent the culture shock from happening, you can take some measures to cut down its effects.

27、 The striking bright blues, yellows, and oranges of poison tree frogs are a typical example of warning coloration, sending a message to predators (捕食者) to stay away. But somewhat counterintuitively (反直觉地), these colors may be helping the frogs hide in plain sight, according to a new study.
These frogs live on the forest floor in the lowland rainforests of South America's Guiana Shield. The frogs are blue-black with a bright yellow ring around their head and back, which may be broken or joined to form a figure eight. Like a fingerprint, the pattern is unique to each frog.
Predators generally learn that such brightly colored frogs are poisonous and tend to avoid them. But this doesn't always work. Foolish predators ignore the warning, while some birds and snakes seem to be able to eat poisonous frogs with few ill effects.
So researchers wondered whether these poison frogs have another way of protecting themselves — camouflage (保护色). To find out, they first tested computational models of predator vision on pictures of the frogs. Their results suggested that although the frogs are obvious at close range, their colors and patterns blend (融合) with the rainforest background as viewing distance increases.
To test those results, they placed model frogs on different backgrounds in a rainforest to see how wild predators reacted. Predators attacked the frogs more often when they were placed atop a picture of plain soil or a colored paper square, but less often when they were on the actual rainforest floor.
And humans seem to fall for the trick, too. People who saw pictures of frogs in the rainforest took longer to spot the real frogs at a distance than a frog that had been altered (使变样) so that it didn't have the same colors and patterns. Together, this suggests that although these poison frogs are highly visible at close range, from far away their colors blend together for the perfect rainforest camouflage. The researchers consider that the frog's pattern is made up of a specific distribution of colors to give it the best of both worlds.
【1】What does the new study about poison tree frogs focus on?
A. How their predators catch them.
B. How their bright colors protect them.

29、 Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp (麻布) clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes.
It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.
With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million flowers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. “I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture,” the bogger told China.org.cn. “Much of the popularity of my videos owes to the attraction of Chinese culture.”
Li sems to be a master of all kinds of sills—cooking, painting, designing and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired work. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China’s traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.
“She told the stories of China’s culture and that of China.” the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her “passion for life, for her home and for her culture”. Indeed, Li’s simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. “She leads a life that many dream of, but don’t dare to give up their current life in exchange for,” iFeng.com wrote. Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. “In today’s society, many feel stressed,” she told the South China Morning Post. “When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”
【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Li Ziqi enjoys 7 million followers on Twitter.
B.Li Ziqi won Person of the Year awarded by Chinese government.
C.Li makes suitable food to follow the changes of climate.
D.Li’s video can’t bring pleasures to people in big cities.
【2】What makes Li’s video so successful at home and abroad?
A.Her love for Chinese culture B.Her confidence for Chinese culture
C.The attraction of her videos D.Her excellent ability of making handicrafts
【3】What does the underlined words “hustle and bustle” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.noisy and stressful life B.busy but relaxing life
C.fantastic and enjoyable life D.quiet and comfortable life
【4】What’s the main purpose of making videos according to Li Ziqi?
A.To promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.
B.To attract more of fans to visit her Sina Weibo.
C.To make herself known to the public.
D.To free the stressed people from the anxiety and stress
