In the home country, a common language gives you the ability to communicate easily with the people around you; and you learn something about your country’s history, people’s habits, likes and dislikes, customs and traditions. This understanding influences your own behavior, and what you expect of others. Living abroad, it doesn’t take long to realize that many things don’t “work” the same, especially when moving from “the West” to “the East”. Besides a different language, each country has its own social system and laws and ways of solving problems. You will find some of them strange and alien. Sometimes you may feel uncomfortable because you realize that things are not the same as you think they are supposed to be. This is what has become known as “Culture Shock”. Living in an environment with an unfamiliar(不熟悉的)culture can cause stress, anxiety or worse- mental or physical illness in some cases. Culture shock is the shock of experiencing an unknown or new culture. Cross-culture Adjustment is the period of anxiety, great pain and confusion suffered when entering a new culture. It can have effects on a person’s emotions and behavior. You should learn to accept and try to be used to different situations. One thing is certain: it is far easier to accept the new order of things than to try to change it. Most Asian people can bear foreigners and accept their strange habits and behavior, not only because it might be to their benefit but out of natural politeness and restraint(克制)in front of others. Westerners should not make use of this. They must try to accept and obey local rules and rules of behavior. 1.What lesson can we draw from the text? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. Good friends do not add up what they do for each other. 2.What does the underlined word “alien” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Different. B. Easy. C. Difficult. D. Empty. 3.In which section of a website does the text probably appear? A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Lifestyle.

In life, everyone wants to have friends who he or she can trust forever. 1. It is scary because in most cases you have to get out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there. However, once the strangeness becomes a thought of the past, it becomes much easier to talk to potential new friends. 2.Get over the shyness of meeting new people and be yourself. Start out with a simple conversation like “Hello, I like your coat” or a discussion about the weather. Those icebreakers will give you the time to feel comfortable and help you open the floor for future conversations. 3.It can be attending a book club or maybe just enjoying a cup of coffee. Making new friendships means learning about someone and sharing stories about each other’s life. Think of your new friendship as a plant. In order to grow, you have to water it and provide it with sunlight. 4. If you want to make new friends, you have to be willing to make the effort. Keep in mind that some people are more outing than others and it’s okay to be reserved(矜持). But it’s necessary to make use of opportunities to develop your newly-found friendship.

Friendships are great support systems. C. In most cases, you are your biggest road block. D. Be true to yourself and don’t be someone that you are not. E.
