When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important present. 1.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. 2. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart broken, I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. 3. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.
4. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now!
5. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
A. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom.
B. He’s living in Australia now and he loves it.
C. It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone.
D. It was a smile.
E. That smile changed my life.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
1.The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.
A. a friend who is ill B. a man working at his desk
C. a person having lost a close friend D. a stranger who looks somewhat worried
2.George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A. cheerfulness B. cleverness C. ability D. politeness
3.The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.
A. made him laugh B. shown concern for him
C. made fun of him D. given him some kind of warning
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
