Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture．“Culture shock”is the term these 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 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 surrounding and, as a result, enjoy their life more．

There are some obvious factors（因素）in culture shock．The weather may be unpleasant．The customs may be different．The public service systems-the telephones, post office, or transportation－may be difficult to work out．The simplest things seem to be big problems．The language may be difficult．

Who feels culture shock? Everyone 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 community．Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions．They find themselves without any identify（身份）．They have to build a new self－image．

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）．This feeling may be homesickness．When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time．They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security（安全）．This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short time, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture．Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience－these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock．

1.When people move to a new country, they _________．

A．will never be familiar with culture of the country

A．the fewer difficulties you may have abroad

A．language communication

B．weather conditions and customs

C．public service systems

D．homesickness

4.The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _______．

A．get familiar with new culture

Five Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension（理解）

Help your child keep what he reads--an important skill，especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks．

Have him read aloud．This forces him to go slower，which gives him more time to process (加工) what he reads．1.．

Provide the right kinds of books．Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren't too hard．2.Stopping any more often than that to figure out（弄明白）a word makes it tough（艰苦） for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story．

3.To gain meaning from text，your child needs to read quickly and smoothly--a skill known as fluency．Rereading familiar，simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent．

Talk to the teacher．If your child is struggling hard with comprehension，he may need more help with his reading--for example，building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills．

Talk about what he's reading．This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book．4. For example:

● Before: “What interests you in this book？ What doesn't？”

● During: “5. Is it turning out the way you thought it would？ ”

● After: “Can you summarize the book？ What did you like about it？”

A．Reread to build fluency．

B．What's going on in the book？

C．Look up new words in the dictionary．

D．Do you know all the characters in the story？

E．Ask questions before，during，and after a reading session．

F．Plus，he's not only seeing the words，he's hearing them，too．

G．He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help．

There are ___ products to be sold in the factory store．Which is not correct in the following？

A．a large number of B．quantities of

C．a large amount of D．a great many

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it．And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is．That is what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about．It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors．

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand．He told this story about himself．He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23．That was a lot of money in those days．He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City．When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day．When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors．It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up．The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life．They moved back to an apartment (公寓房间) in New York City．

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors．He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories．He called it ‘‘Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you．Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years．

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses．And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world．But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr．Jones always seems to be ahead．

1.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they___________．

A．hope to be rich people like their neighbors

B．want others to know or to think that they are rich

C．want to hide their wealth from other people

D．would like to be common people

2.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is____．

A．an important name for important people

B．a popular name in the United States

C．the name of the neighbor he did not like

D．a name which people did not use any longer

3.According to the writer, it is _________ to keep up with the Joneses．

A. correct B．interesting

C. impossible D．Good
