Tradition says that at the beginning of the sixth century one of the tribes in Ireland was called Celt. The chief of Celt had a beautiful daughter named Ellis, who was from childhood, fond of having honey. When she grew up, lots of knights and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southern tribe who was among the proposers. They were soon in love with each other. At last they decided to get married. On the wedding day Ellis entertained the honored guests with honey wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young mater. After drinking the wine, the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as sweet as love. But there was too much wine for them to drink up. They were intoxicated(沉醉) with the sweet honey wine. It took the young couple a whole month to drink up.
From then on it was very popular among the local people to drink honey wine within the first month after the man and woman’s marriage. They thought that it stood for the sweetness and happiness of a newly-married couple. Later on, it spread far and wide. People named the first month after marriage honeymoon.

查看习题详情和答案>>Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can appear only at certain times. Culture begins with the “ honeymoon”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time. Afterwards, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. This period of culture adjustment (调整) can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting the new culture. This “rejection stage” can be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits, such as smoking, drinking too much.
The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. And 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! This is called the “adjustment stage”. The fourth stage can be called “ at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new environment. You can deal with most problems. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived, you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock.
The fifth stage is the stage that is called the “re-entry shock.” This occurs when a return to the country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly learned customs are not in use in the old culture.
