二、2.

1.Culture shock is the result of the removal of the familiar. Suddenly the individual is faced with the necessity of working, commuting, studying, eating, shopping, relaxing, even sleeping, in an unfamiliar environment organized according to unknown rules. In mild form, culture shock shows itself in symptoms(症状) of fatigue , irritability(易怒) and impatience. Being unable to interpret the situations in which they find themselves, people often believe they are being deliberately deceived or exploited by host -country nationals. They tend to perceive (感觉，觉察到) rudeness where none is intended. Their efficiency and flexibility is often impaired and both work and family suffer. Some people may respond by developing negative stereotypes (老一套)of the host culture, by refusing to learn the language and by mixing exclusively (排外地，专有地) with people of their own cultural background. In extreme cases, rejection may be so complete that the individual returns immediately to their own culture, regardless of the cost in social, economic or personal terms.

7.When I was about 12 I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn"t a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger I ran to my father in tears.
  He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not? "True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it? " Mary, didn"t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl"s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn"t change (like being skinny) , but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
  For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
  I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. "That"s just for you, "he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself once you hear it.

13.People, in different parts of the world have very different ideas about what is good to eat. Even when people in different countries eat the same food, they often prepare it very differently. If you were in Germany, you would find soup that is thick and heavy. If you were in China, you would find soup that is thin and clear. On holidays most of us eat special foods. Year after year, even if many other things change, the food is always the same. Sometimes housewives begin weeks in advance to prepare the special foods that are traditionally served on certain holidays.
  People in different parts of the world also have different ideas about what is good to drink. Among the most popular hot drinks are coffee and tea. Coffee is very popular in northern Europe and in the Middle East. Some people put cream and sugar in their coffee. But in the United States, many people drink their coffee "black" that is without cream or sugar. Tea is the national drink in China, Japan, and other Oriental(东方的) countries.

19.There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear.
  For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.
  One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils(面纱) to hide their faces.
  The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.
  The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.
  World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim(帽檐)up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.
