Dear Editor,
I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents don’t understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but I’m not! Why can’t they let me be myself?
Jimmy
Hi, Jimmy,
As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment (调整) to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture ... But home? ... we know that place!
Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably won’t understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.
Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that you’re home, you will be expected to conform (顺应) again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents’ involvement in your life.
Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry(重归), and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything you’ve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host country’s culture.
【小题1】What is Jimmy’s main purpose in writing the letter?

A.To criticize his parents.
B.To ask for advice about his studies.
C.To complain about his parents.
D.To ask for help.
【小题2】What does the editor think of Jimmy’s problem?
A.It’s unusual.B.It’s normal. C.It’s serious.D.It’s interesting.
【小题3】The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents ______.
A.have changed in the past year
B.have unrealistic expectations of each other
C.need to behave like they did before
D.need to find a balance between the good and bad
【小题4】The author suggests that ______ would help solve Jimmy’s problem.
A.patience and trust
B.patience and politeness
C.better communication between family members
D.a deeper understanding of the host country’s culture

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list __16__ in our past that we felt __17__ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.

This seemed like a very __18__ process, but there’ s always some __19__ soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then __20__ that we find ways to __21__ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever __22__ my communication.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my  _23__, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff __24__ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a __25__ on him.

After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a sob.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious __26__. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one __27__ found out.”

“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name __28__ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still __29__.

Jimmy inspired me to __34__ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to __35__ the past wrong doings.
