26、Culture Shock

Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings(of surprise,uncertainty,confusion,etc.)felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment,such as a foreign country.

Generally speaking,we could say that there are four stages of culture shock.The first stage is called“the honeymoon”【1】And everything seems to be wonderful and everybody seems to be so nice to you.

The next stage is“the hostility stage(排斥期)”.In this stage,you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.【2】Moreover,people don't treat you like a guest anymore.

Then you come to the third stage called“recovery”.In this stage,you start to feel more positive.【3】The whole situation starts to become more pleasant.Now you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.

The last stage of culture shock is called“adjustment".【4】You have learned enough about the new culture.The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.

Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.【5】It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another.

A.You should communicate with people more often.

B.And you try to learn everything you don't understand.

27、We’re willing to bet you know at least one kid who loves Peppa Pig. The British TV show has been attracting youthful audiences around the world for almost two decades and has even created a generation of American kids with fake British accents. Well, all those millions of young Peppa fans will soon have their own theme park in the United States that they can visit with their parents. Moving over Disney World Peppa Pig is headed to Florida.

The new theme park is slated to open in Orlando, Florida in 2022 and will feature rides, attractions, a water play area and live shows all popular with preschool-age children and their families. Kids will have the opportunity to meet Peppa, George, Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and the rest of the animal group as they explore the adorable world that looks like it’s been dropped right out of TV and into central Florida.

Peppa fans will love rides such as Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride, where the little piggies can hop aboard and set sail for Pirate Island, and Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride, where they get to fly high above the park in one of Miss Rabbit’s hot air balloons. Other rides feature characters like Grampy Rabbit and Mr. Bull.

The park will also feature two play zones: A splash pad where kids can mimic jumping in muddy puddles filled with fountains, slides and interactive water features perfect for hot Florida summers and Pirate Island where everyone in the family can look for buried treasure or build sand castles with Danny Dog. Are you looking for something adults will love too? Check out the classic boardwalk with free arcade games. When it’s time for a break, head to the cinema, where kids can watch their favorite episodes of Peppa Pig in a cool dark theatre.

Yearly passes are already available for the new park for $75. The opening day is still to be announced, but we’re guessing there are enough Peppa Pig episodes to keep you and the kids occupied until next year.

28、   While Charlotte Uhlenbroek loves the adventure, she is also glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.

She’s just finished filming a TV series called Jungle——a 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo. She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well. So what was her most challenging experience? “Definitely climbing an 80-metre-high tree in Borneo, when I’m scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, ‘Down! Down!’ I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me down below.”

And “down below” was where the bugs were——clinging, stinging, sucking beasts. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites. “I’ve had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest (痒的) bites I’ve ever had. At one stage, I counted 70 bites on one arm,” she says. “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes. The most disgusting thing, though, was try to pull the leches (水蛭) off your skin. The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, ‘Get them off!’ and the film crew kept saying, “Just one minute... this makes a really good shot!”

Back in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”? “I’ve been having lots of nice, long showers,” she says. “In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought. And I find that when I’ve been in hot, uncomfortable conditions for a while, the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favourite meal.”

【1】Why does Charlotte explore the jungles?

A.She enjoys taking adventures.

B.She wants to challenge herself.

【2】What can we learn about Charlotte’s experience in the jungles?

A.She climbed tall tee with the help of ropes.

B.She once had 70 bites by the sweat bees in the Congo.

C.The mosquito bites were the worst bites she’d ever had.

D.The film crew helped her to get the leches from her leg.

【3】What does Charlotte miss most when she was in the jungles?

A.Nice and long showers. B.Her family members.

C.Her comfortable bed. D.Her favourite snacks.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.The TV Series ---- Jungle B.Explore the Amazon Jungle

C.Return to the Age of Civilization D.What a Jungle Journey!

City: Even if you don't celebrate the holidays during December, taking a trip to a city around this time can be a lively, enjoyable experience. 【4】 Although it is by no means a tropical（热带的） escape, the sight of the decorated streets should be enough to warm your heart. Take advantage of holiday sales with your family by spending a day to wandering around the shops on fashionable Fifth Avenue .

Mountain: A trip to a mountain could be just the ticket for your December trip. For example, leaving for a hot spot like Vail, Colorado, home of the second largest ski mountain in North America. Rent a cozy house and bring along several friends and family to fill the space, share the rent and have a wonderful time. 【5】 It can be skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or tubing. And if you can't be bothered to take part in these sports, sit down by the fire with a relaxing cup of hot cocoa.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.

The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.

While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.

“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
