Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture. Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock. These stages are general and should only be used as a reference. Not every individual will go through each stage, and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals.

　　The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional "roller coaster" they seem to be riding. One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture, and the next moment very negative. It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate between loving and hating a new country. Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging.

　　Extreme tiredness is another problem people face when entering a new culture. There can be a sense of a greater need for sleep. This is due not only to physical tiredness, but also to mental fatigue. This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language, and coping with new situations.

　　The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person. There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture. Four factors which play into these are personality, language ability, length of stay, and the emotional support received.

　　It is logical to think that when people are deprived of their familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented. One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home. Pictures, wall hangings, favorite utensils, and keepsakes(纪念品)are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar. Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time. Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture. This will make people feel more at home.

53．A person experiencing “culture shock” is mostly like            .

       A．a dog without shelter                                   B．a bird back home

       C．a horse lack of training                                D．a fish out of water

54．What does the underlined word “vacillate” in the second paragraph mean?

       A．hesitate                   B．stop                        C．watch                     D．suffer

55．What is the result for one experiencing “culture shock”?

       A．Seeming to be riding a roller coater.

       B．Having to agree on five basic stages.

       C．Having all home things taken abroad.

       D．Suffering both physically and mentally.

56．To overcome “culture shock”, one had better         .

       A．make some necessary changes in one’s way of life

       B．recall part of regular routine in the home country

       C．buy a few reminders like pictures or wall hangers

       D．enjoy things brought from home country more often
