"You are going to the United States to live? How wonderful! You are really lucky."
Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But does it true
all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?
Specialists say that it isn"t 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 m culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs
may be different. The public service systems the telephone, post office, or transporta- tion maybe
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 rise 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.
B. have well prepared for their new surroundings
C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly
D. will never be familiar with the culture of the country
except ______
B. weather conditions and customs
C. public service systems
D. homesickness
B. the more difficulties you may have abroad
C. the more money you" 11 earn abroad
D. the less homesick you" II feel abroad
B. go outside to have a walk
C. visit their friends far away
D. stay indoors all the time
Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren"t in film school yet and aren"t.strictly
speaking. even adults ?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival. tomorrow. in a setting any director
might envy: Lincoln Center.Complete with "red carpet" interviews and various awards. thefestival
has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers. except for the age of the
participants:about 8 t0 18.
" What"s really exciting is that it"s film for kids by kids. " said Cori Gardner, managing director of
Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year
the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one
from a middle school in Arlington,Virginia. " We want to make this a national event." Ms Gardner
added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction
adventure set in the year 3005. "A lot of the material is really mature. " Ms Gardner said, talking about
films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project,a media arts and leadership-training
group. " The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of
secondhand smoke. " Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants"(移民) feelings of both

that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example , some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票) . It was great. I
took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! "
This guy"s a winner , right? Maybe , maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of
tickets, and only one was a winner. He"s really a big loser!
He didn"t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That"s called
a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let"s say that during Governor Smith"s last term,her state lost
one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对
手) says, " During Govemor Smith"s term, the state lost one million jobs ! " That"s true. However, an
honest statement would have been , " During Govemor Smith"s term , the state had a net gain of two
million jobs. "
Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It"s against the law to make false statements so
they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, " Nine out of ten doctors advised their
patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and
nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often. lt"s a sad fact of life :Lies are lies , and sometimes the truth
can lie as well.
B. Two hundred dollars.
C. Three hundred dollars.
D. Four hundred dollars.
B. make use of half-truths
C. not take anything at face value
D. not trust the Yucky Company
B. Big advantage.
C. Large share.
D. Total saving.
B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
C. Doctors like to act in advertisement.
D. Advertisements are based on facts.
situation of women ,is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear
a word invented in Japan. " DINKS " , which means Double
Income No Kids (小孩) .
In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo,the cost of a house is extremely high.
A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3,000,000 ( though prices
have fallen) . For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen,and a bathroom,the couple will
pay about $900 a month. What"s more,if they want to have a child, the child"s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5 ,000 a year. In such a situation,it"s difficult to
afford children.
The number of married women who want to continue. Working increases rapidly because they enjoy
their jobs. However , if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby , they expect women with
babies to give up their jobs. In short , if they want to bring up children properly , both parents have to
work,but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose
between having children or keeping
their jobs.

How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate. " Every individual exists in
a continually changing world of experience of which he( or she) is the center". Many communication
scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them. But every day we experience the centrality of ourselves in communication. A student, for
instance, may describe a
conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment: "I know my teacher doesn"t like the fact that I don"t agree with
his opinions , and that is why he gave me such a poor grade in that class. " The teacher might say the
opposite. Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person"s view is wrong.
The concept of self originates in communication. Through verbal and nonverbal symbols,a child leams
to accept roles in response to the expectations of others. You establish self-image, the sort of person you
believe you are, by how others think of you. Positive, negative,and neutral messages that you receive from
others all play a role in determining who you are. Communication itself is probably best understood as a
dialogue process. Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people. In
a more obvious way,communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share. So, the communication begins with the self, as defined largely by others, and involves others , as defined largely by the self.
Communication occurs almost every minute of your life. If you are not communicating with yourself
( thinking, planning, reacting to the world around you), you are observing others and drawing inferences
from their behavior. Even if the other person did not intend a message for you, you gather observations
and draw specific conclusions. A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message.
A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you. A third person
smile ( perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you lieve that he is attracted to you. We are continually picking up meanings from others" behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors
that have communicative value for them.
More often than not, you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that
you did not mean that. You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement. You
may have made a joke out of your rude statement. Nonetheless, your comment remains both in the mind
of the other person and in your own mind. You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others. Communication cannot be reversed(倒退) ,nor can it be repeated. When you tried to re-create the
atmosphere , the conversation , and the setting, nothing seemed right. Your second experience with a
similar setting and person made far different
results.
