Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon stage". This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from "jet lag" but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feed we are involved in some kind of great adventure.

    Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have settled down into our new life, we can be very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival of rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.

    The third stage is called the "adjustment stage". This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that 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.

   The fourth stage can be called "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

   There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about. This is called "reverse culture shock". Surprisingly, this occurs when you back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!

It's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week listed eight bad eating habits.

    ●Watching television while having meals or snacks.

    Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.

    ● Replacing meals with snacks.

    Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物),proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt.

●Having drinks rather than water.

Fizzy (有气泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can

cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda and coffee actually take water away from your body.

●Refusing to drink milk.

Milk is the best natural food—it provides you with protein, which makes your bones strong and teeth healthy.

    ● Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.

    Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition (营养失调) and a weaker body.

●Eating in front of the computer and staying there after meals.

Take a walk after eating and it helps your stomach digest the meal.

●Buying from roadside snack bars.

If you shop at these places, be careful—many are not clean enough.

    ● Eating throat tablets as if they were sweets.

    If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria in your mouth and cause real throat problems.

______ can possibly cause digestion problem.

A. Eating while sitting in front of TV or computer

B. Eating throat tablets as if they were sweets.

C. Choosing certain kinds of food over others.

D. Buying from roadside snack bars.

Why can't soft drinks be drunk in place of water when you feel thirsty?

A. They help brain cells work properly.      B. They make your body sick.

C. They take water away from your body.    D. They supply energy for your body.

Which of the following is NOT the habit that will possibly result in a lack of nutrition?

A. Often eating small snacks.            B. Never drinking milk.

C. Always eating the same kinds of food.   D. Staying in front of a computer after the meal.

       阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)

   No first lesson is more important than the one on personal safety for kids. The First Lesson of the New TERM, a TV documentary(纪录片) about how to protect oneself in times of emergency, is meant to provide school students with the knowledge on self-protection. It will help students in case of natural disasters, snowstorms or floods.

 There are times when one can be helpless and hopeless in many life-threatening situations. But that does not mean we _______ the end of life at that time. Many examples show that enough knowledge about self-protection along with enough courage and determination can help many survive.

 The most recent example is from May earthquake in Sichuan Province. Thousands of school kids were killed by collapsed(坍塌的) school buildings, while all students from a middle school survives even without a single one being hurt. That’s because of their timely and orderly escape, which they had been drilled in every term.

 Japan has set a good example for us in safety lessons. Survival exercises are held in Japanese schools every year. With different kinds of competitions and training, schools help the students be aware and capable of surviving disasters.

 It’s good to see this program is the core(核心) of a national campaign to warn students the importance of personal safety. Chinese Education Ministry has called on all schools nationwide to give lessons on self-protection knowledge in times of emergency every term.

 Life is weak but can be strengthened when one is equipped with enough knowledge on how to best survive.
