The Need for Holidays

You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday，when what they really mean is that they want one．Certainly，people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays，and experience a changed environment. For this reason, holidays away from home are now seen by most people as necessary to their quality life. However, work for many people today are office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach.

Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. Even in a recession(经济萧条时期), for many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being laid off on a holiday, perhaps to give themselves a "lift” before facing a gloomy(暗淡的)future.

Perhaps we don't like to admit it, but most of us also enjoy showing off about the places we have been to, and the lovely tans：dark skins we have got. The idea of tanning, however, is becoming less attractive than it was. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common；and although we join a tan together with health(and it is true that a certain amount of sunshine gives us a feeling of being healthy), it has been fully shown that sunshine，especially when received over a short, focused period of time, results in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one's skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

57．More and more people choose to have holidays because they ________.

A. hate working indoors all the time B. want to get away from work

C. love enjoying the beauties of nature D. become rich and want a better life

58．From this passage we learned that some people can not live without ______．

A. a tan B. a job C. a pay D. a holiday

59．A holiday may __________ when one has to face some difficulties in life．

A. cheer someone up B. help someone find a job

C. be the last thing to be given up D. bring good luck to someone

60．At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader ________.

A. the importance of getting sunshine B. the bad effect of being on holiday

C. the result of getting sun tanned D. the healthy look of being tanned

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

　　There are some obvious factors in culture shock．The weather may be unpleasant．The customs may be different．The public service systems－the telephone, 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 home countries and were successful in their community．Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions．They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity．

　　They have to build a new self-image．

　　Culture shock gives rises to a feeling of disorientation(迷惘)．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 and escape inside their room for a sense of security．This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture．Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock．

(1)

When people move to a new country, they ________．
[　　]
A．	will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty
B．	have well prepared for the new surroundings
C．	will get used to the culture of the country quickly
D．	will never be familiar with culture of the country

(2)

According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except ________．
[　　]
A．	language communication
B．	weather conditions and customs
C．	public service systems
D．	homesickness

(3)

When people are homesick, they tend to ________．
[　　]
A．	find some people to talk to
B．	go outside to have a walk
C．	visit their friends far away
D．	stay indoors all the time

(4)

The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to ________．
[　　]
A．	protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment
B．	develop a strange sense of self-protection
C．	get familiar with new culture
D．	return to our own country
