Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.
The process begins with the “honeymoon stage”.This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting.We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment,seeing new sights,
hearing new sounds and language,eating new kinds of food.
Unfortunately,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 you face them in a foreign culture.
The third stage comes when you begin to realise that things are not so bad in the host culture.Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realise that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place.Things are still difficult,but you 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 culture shock”.Surprisingly,this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away.Now you are at a bit of a loss back home.Life is a struggle!
(　　)1.How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock
A.Happy and excited.
B.Bored and homesick.
C.Lonely and depressed.
D.Angry and frustrated.
(　　)2.How could the third stage be described
A.Adjustment.
B.Rejection.
C.Enthusiasm.
D.Embarrassment.
(　　)3.Why might reverse culture shock be a problem
A.Because it hardly ever happens.
B.Because it is extremely stressful.
C.Because it is out of expectation.
D.Because it only happens to young people.

Armenian musician Astrid Poghosyan,a violinist,takes great pride in the Chinese name she picked for herself,Ma Xingxing.This summer,she has been busy making preparations for a series of in-person and online music events and cultural exchange programmes.Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects which she takes part in,whether they are offline or online events,as she believes that every little effort will help her realise her music related dreams.
“I believe music knows no borders (边界),and cultural exchanges through music are especially important during hard times,” she said.Having studied and worked in China for many years,Poghosyan has now become a real China hand,skilled at the country’s language and culture.Such a multicultural background has certainly helped her stand out at her present job.For Poghosyan,the life she now leads is a far cry from when she first came to China to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.At that time,Poghosyan could not speak a word of Chinese.“And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said.“So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.”
She has a strong desire for Chinese movies,traditional festivals and history stories,all of which helped her through the difficult language-learning process.As she gradually buried herself in the Chinese language and culture,she also started to make Chinese friends and explore the energetic city life of Shanghai.
“Since I first came to Shanghai,I have always been impressed by the kindness of the people here,” she said.“Even when I couldn’t speak Chinese,in the first days,everyone I met gave me a big smile.Their smiles have made me feel the warmth of the city.”
(　　)4.What do we know about Astrid Poghosyan
A.She is proud of her talent in music.
B.She couldn’t speak Chinese before she came to China.
C.She spoke Chinese well when young.
D.She usually has music lessons online.
(　　)5.What can we infer from the second paragraph
A.Every country has its unique music and culture.
B.Hard times prevented music spreading.
C.Poghosyan’s life is quite different from that in the past.
D.Poghosyan’s high-school-level English helped her a lot.
(　　)6.What helped Poghosyan go through the hard language-learning process
A.Her love for Chinese culture.
B.Her wonderful social ability.
C.Her exploration of the city.
D.Her teacher’s encouragement.
(　　)7.What does Astrid Poghosyan think of Shanghai people
A.Energetic. 　B.Selfish.
C.Humorous. 　D.Friendly.

语篇导读:本文是说明文。心理学家告诉我们,当我们进入并生活在一种新的文化环境中时,会经历四个基本阶段的文化冲击,还有一个人们没有预料到的“反向文化冲击”。
答案及剖析:
1.A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,这一过程始于“蜜月期”,即我们第一次来到这个国家的时候,感觉这个国家的一切关于新文化的东西都是陌生和令人兴奋的。我们可能正在遭受“时差”的折磨,但是我们很高兴来到新的环境,看到新的景色,听到新的声音和语言,吃新的食物。可知在文化冲击的第一阶段,你会感觉快乐和兴奋。故选A。
2.A　推理判断题。根据第四段中前两句可知,在文化冲击的第三阶段你开始学习在新环境中照顾好自己,你会变得更强大。因此,你在调整自己适应环境。因此文化冲击的第三阶段可被称为“调整”阶段。故选A。
3.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中前三句可知,“反向文化冲击”出乎意料,人们没有作好准备,所以它可能成为一个问题。故选C。

One possible version:
Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion,which I hope will be of some help to you.Frankly,I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad.The reasons are as follows.
To begin with,exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process interesting and effective.Moreover,bathed in a different culture of a foreign country,we can gain different insights into the world.Finally,studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone,which is the most important from my view.
All things considered,I hope you can choose to study abroad.
Yours,
Li Hua
