     Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest
possible words.
          Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture.
Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock.
These stages are general and should only be used as a reference. Not every individual will go through
each stage, and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals.
     The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional "roller coaster" they seem to be
riding. One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture, and the next moment very negative.
It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate(犹豫不定)between loving and
hating a new country. Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a
sense of fitting in or belonging.
     Fatigue is another problem people face when entering a new culture. There can be a sense of
greater need for sleep. This is due not only to physical tiredness, but also to mental fatigue. This
mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language, and coping with new situation.
     The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person. There can be significant differences
because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture. Four factors which play into
these are personality, language ability, length of stay, and the emotional support received.
      It is logical to think that when people are deprived of heir familiar surroundings they will feel
disoriented. One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home. Pictures, wall
hangings, favorite utensils, and keepsake are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar.
Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time. Even better is
fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established
in the new culture. This will make people feel more at home.
     (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
1. According to the 1st paragraph, what have experts been interested in?
2. What are the two problems people face when entering a new culture?
3. Coping with new situations may result in__________.
4. The author thinks the more effective way to solve "cultural shock" is__________.

     If you are invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, remember that the French have their own way of 
doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by the French custom. For example,
if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses,
praising your hostess on her cooking,laughing heartily at the host’s jokes and then doing something to
help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, you are wrong.
     Here Madame Nora Chabal,the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, explained how it works.
     The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours.And, the guest may not ask to
bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.
     Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift.They may also be sent afterwards with a thankyou note.It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers in hand, thereby forcing the hostess to deal
with finding a vase when she is so busy. The type of flowers sent has a code of its own, too. One must      never send chrysanthemums because they are considered too humble(卑微的)a flower for the occasion.  Carnations are considered bad luck, and calla lilies are too reminiscent(缅怀往事的)of funerals. A
bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic purpose. Don’t send those unless you mean it, and never to a  married hostess. And though the French love wine, you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party.
You may  offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.
     If an invitation is for eight o’clock, the thoughtful guest arrives at 8∶15. Guests who arrive exactly on
time or early are thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal   with details and crisis. The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour because dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invitation.
1. If you are invited to a formal dinner party in Paris,you’d better ________.
A. reply to it within two days and send flowers in advance
B. arrive exactly on time at the dinner party
C. bring a bottle of good wine to the dinner party
D. telephone to ask if you could bring a good friend to the party
2. Which of the following is TRUE about sending flowers?
A. If someone is dead,send carnations.
B. If someone is ill in hospital,send calla lilies.
C. If you are invited to a dinner party,send red roses to the hostess.
D. If you are in love with someone,send red roses.
3. If you are too busy to send flowers in advance,you should ________.
A. bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party
B. send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thankyou note
C. bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers
D. telephone to tell the hostess the truth
4. The text is mainly about ________.
A. how to hold a dinner party
B. how to send flowers
C. how to behave well at a French dinner party
D. how different countries have different manners
