3、Read the passages, then answer the questions that follow. （1 point each ）Experiencing Culture ShockA When Eliza James arrived at the University of Xian, she was excited to live in a new country, to improve her Chinese, and to experience a culture so different from her own.

4、rned to frustration as she encountered one roadblock after another. I felt like I couldn，t accomplish anything.My dorm room had no heat, I couldn，t get into the classes I wanted, and every time I asked someone for help they gave me the runaround. I felt like no one was listening to me. Eliza met wit

5、h administrators, sent letters of complaint, and even contacted the consulate in Beijing, but she got nowhere.

7、junior at a small college outside of Boston. Although he is an honors student now, Yoshi didnt always have such an easy time studying in America.

8、lassmates. At first it seemed like I wasnt actually learning anything.z/ Yoshis reaction was to totally withdraw: he didnt participate in class discussion; he spent lots of time alone in his room, and he even skipped class on occasion. I thought I could teach myself. Now I recognize the value of the

9、 U. S. academic system, and I am able to adapt it to my own learning style. C Both Eliza and Yoshi experienced what is called culture shock: psychological disorientation due to living in a new culture. For many international students, studying abroad can offer exposure to new cultures and an opportu

10、nity to study new fields and languages. However, it also offers the greater challenge of trying to function in a foreign culture.

11、 1. euphoria,2.hostility, 3. gradual adjustment, and 4. adaptation. Culture shock can be manifested in many ways: homesickness, boredom, stereotyping of or hostility towards the host culture, overeating or overdrinking, withdrawal, and inability to work effectively.D Different people experience diff

12、erent levels of culture shock and react in different ways. For example, Eliza got angry while Yoshi withdrew from society. The most important thing to remember is that culture shock is normal; it is not something to be ashamed of. Luckily, there are some things international students can do to make

13、their adjustment to a new country go more smoothly.

19、t because as the seasons change from summer to fall to winter, the days get shorter.

A graduate student in philosophy, Joshua finds that he gets little work done during the

22、ical imbalance in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the basic part of the brain that controls the bodys breathing, heartbeat, metabolism, and hormone release. The effects of SAD include moodiness, irritability, low energy, increased appetite for carbohydrates （foods such as potatoes, rice, and b

23、read）, difficulty concentrating, and the tendency to oversleep.C Although doctors described SAD for the first time in 1984, humans have probably dealt with the disorder for thousands of years. It is not a coincidence that many cultures have important celebrations during the short days of the winter

24、months. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Winter Solstice celebrations all occur in December. These celebrations involve lighting candles in order to bring light, warmth, and happiness to an otherwise depressing time of year.D So what can SAD sufferers do to feel better? Naturally, they need more light. For

25、people who have mild cases of SAD, exercising in the morning sun could be enough to help them. Phototherapy, or light therapy, is usually prescribed for people who have more serious cases of the disorder. In light therapy, patients sit in front of a light box, a strong artificial light, for up to fo

26、ur hours a day. Phototherapy is effective in over 80% of SAD cases, and patients usually see results within three to four days. Although the symptoms of SAD are similar to those of clinical depression, traditional antidepressants have not proven useful in treating SAD. While psychological counseling

27、 cannot treat the symptoms of SAD, it is recommended to help SAD sufferers learn to accept and deal with their illness.6.Joshua starts feeling depressed and irritable in the winter becauseA.he gets little work doneB.he suffers from Seasonal Affective DisorderC.he is a graduate student in philosophy7
