" honeymoon". This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture
is strange and exciting. This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time. Afterwards, the second stage
presents itself. A person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. This period of culture adjustment
(调整) can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting the new culture. This"rejection stage" can
be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits, such as smoking, drinking too much.
The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of
pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. And you are becoming stronger by learning to take care
of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! This is called the"adjustment
stage".
The fourth stage can be called" at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new environment.
You can deal with most problems. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are
strong enough to deal with them. If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived, you can be
the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock.
The fifth stage is the stage that is called the"re-entry shock." This occurs when a return to the country
of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly learned
customs are not in use in the old culture.

get answers like "Shakespeare," "Samuel Johnson," and "Webster," but none of these men had any effect at
all compared to a man who didn"t even speak English -William the Conqueror.
Before 1066,in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups.
In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language,and in the north lived the Scots,
whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic.In the rest of the country lived the Saxons,
actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons,and other Germanic and Nordic people,who spoke what we now call
Anglo-Saxon (or Old English ), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would
be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began
their rule over England.For about a century,French became the official language of England while Old English
became the language of peasants. As a result,English words of politics and the law come from French rather
than German. In some cases,modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French
and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words.We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular,
depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked,which shows the fact that the
Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France
because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than
French does.Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French
influences are all the result of one man"s ambition.

game or another sports event. Even thousands of years ago, groups of people gathered to watch skilled
athletes (运动员).
Over 2000 years ago in Greece, certain days in the year were festival days. These were holidays when
people stopped work and enjoyed themselves. They liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games
of skill.
The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia. It was held in honor of the
Greek god Zeus(Zus). For five days, athletes from all parts of the Greek world took part in the Olympic Games. At the Olympic Games, people could watch them box, run, jump and so on. There was a relay race between
two teams of men in which a lighted torch (火矩) was passed from runner to runner. The Olympic Games
were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting. People
were allowed to travel to the games safely. Thousands of people came to Olympia from cities in Greece and
from her colonies(殖民地)in Africa, Asia and Italy. They met as friends to cheer their favorite athletes and to

deal of fanfare (仪式上用的短曲); there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted; and there
have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, no matter
where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs.
Before a couple is married,they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby,
their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most

the wedding march is played. The bride carrying a bouquet (花束) enters last with her father who will "give
her away." The bridegroom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the
altar, the bride and bridegroom exchange vows (誓言). It is traditional to use the words "To have and to hold
from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to
cherish, till death do us part". Following the Vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on
the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception", which gives the wedding guests an
opportunity to congratulate the new couple.
The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons,streamers and shaving cream.
The words "Just Married" are painted on the trunk or back window. The bride and bridegroom run to the car

Long ago, there was a kind of dinner called Dutch treat. At a Dutch treat, the invited guests were expected
to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means when friends go out to have fun,
each person pays his or her own share.
There are many other expressions related with "Dutch" in American English. However, most of them were
first used in England in the 17th century. At that time, the British and the Dutch were war enemies. So when
British people talked about something wrong or bad, they would like to use the word"Dutch".
A common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. A friend may tell you,"You are in Dutch. The
teacher is angry with you. Be careful!" When a soldier took Dutch leave, he left the army without permission.
Dutch courage was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking wine.
There is one expression that did come from the Dutch. That is to talk like a Dutch uncle. The Dutch were
known for the strict and serious way they educated their children.
