Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel．It's a great way to find out what life is like in another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in your host country everything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods．But constantly having to deal with new situations can be frustrating（挫折）,even stressful．

Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of "culture shock"．At first, you may feel like getting on the plane and heading home．It' s OK to have those feelings, but the following are some tips to help you handle the challenges that you will face．

Don't expect to be perfect．You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip．No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes．If you give yourself some time, things will gradually get easier．

Have an open mind．While it's certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon．Don't think of the host as better or worse, just different—you’ll be more willing to try new things．

Participate．This is obvious, but everybody needs to be reminded．Just watching life go on around you isn't good enough．You really need to try things for yourself．Don't worry about making a mistake; people in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have question．Your study abroad experience is a unique and special time in your life, one that you'll never forget．If you follow our suggestions, you'11 be able to handle it well, and have a wonderful time．Good luck!

I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with

the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me

years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.

Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I

was doing. I said three or four hours a day.

"Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?"

"I try to."

"Well, don't," he exclaimed. "When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life."

When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano--playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.

There is an important trick in this time--using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.

I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge（投入）in without delay.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.

One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.

To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily ---- many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem..
