24、   Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things when we move from one culture to another.

Culture begins with the” honeymoon stage. ”This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from”jet lag(时差)”but are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kings of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.

Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when your face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment(调整) can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.

The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place .Things are still difficult ,but are now a survivor.

The fourth stage can be called ”at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur .You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. This is called ”reverse(反转)” culture shock. Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle.

【1】When does culture shock happen?

A.when you reach your teens, culture shock happens.

B.When you move to a big city, culture shock happens.

C.When you meet foreign people for the first time, culture shock happens.

D.When you go to live in a foreign culture, culture shock happens.

【2】How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?

A.Bored B.Satisfied C.Excited D.Disappointed

【3】How could the third stage be described?

A.Adjustment B.Joy C.Energy D.Anger

【4】What may still be a problem during the fourth stage?

A.Friends B.Language C.Food D.Transportation

【5】Which stage are you in when life is still tough but you are positive to live?

A.The first stage. B.The second stage

C.The third stage. D.The fourth stage.

【6】Why might reverse culture shock be a problem?

A.It hardly ever happens. B.It is extremely stressful.

C.Most people do not expect it. D.It only happens to young people.

27、The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mom makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is distinguished (区分) only by a birthmark around his right eye.

The cartoon piglet is not smart, either. Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan, but the sport doesn’t really exist, of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ending up on a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark instead.

However, the slow, dumb pig has won over Hong Kong people, often stereotyped (塑造) as eager to quick success. So far, there are five McDull movies shown in both the mainland and Hong Kong.

The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mak confused (困惑的). “Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull,” she says. Like McDull, Mak moves and speaks slowly. She describes herself as a simple person, who does not try to draw too much meaning from the McDull stories.

“McDull reminds people they used to be as simple and happy as him,” Mak says. “If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a complicated (复杂) world.”

In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience: “I suddenly realize that there is something you just cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no treasure...it turns out that being stupid is not funny, it could mean failure. Disappointment is not funny, fat is not funny, fat does not even mean you have more strength. When I grow up, when I face the tough world that is not funny, what should I do?”

“What he has been doing in the movies is to find new dreams. Most of them keep failing him, but he always starts again with a new one,” Mak says. “Maybe that’s why both children and adults find him cute.”

【1】Picture ________ shows McDull.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】The theme in the McDull movies is probably ________.

A．how to achieve quick success

B．how to face failures bravely

C．how to find new dreams

D．how to keep simple in a complicated world

【3】From the text, it is true that ________.

A．McDull always succeeds in everything he tries

B．McDull movies are only shown in the mainland

C．McDull keeps an active state of mind in his life

D．The creator Alice Mak knows exactly why McDull has become popular

【4】The best title of the passage is ________.

A．The Pig that Dares to Dream

B．McDull’s Dreams

C．A Famous Creator—Alice Mak

D．Reasons for McDull’s failures
