I was required to overcome all difficulties. Being an exchange student is not easy.As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art and philosophy.But the difficulties were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept as well as to succeed in another culture.

Newcomers may be anxious because they don' t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people' s behaviour in daily lives.Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes” , that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitorsmay sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.4. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?A. Excited.B. Delighted.C. Upset.D. Hopeless.解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的 aNewcomers may be anxious because they don, t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people' s behaviour in daily lives.（新来的人可能会担心，因为他们不会说这种语言。他们也不知道习俗,不了 解人们在日常生活中的行为。）”可推知，由于语言不通、不了解当地的风俗、不理解当地人 日常生活中的行为习惯,新来者会感到焦虑、担心。故选C。答案:C5. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. It' s impossible to get used to a new culture.B. People feel confused due to culture shock.C. Foreigners often don' t mean what they say.D. Most foreigners are usually quite humorous.解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句"The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.（夕卜国人可能不确定什么时候握手，什么时候开始对话,或者如何接近陌生人。文化冲击的概念有助于解释 困惑和迷茫的感觉。）”可推知，由于文化冲击，人们常常会感到困惑。故选B。答案:B6. What does the underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of watern in the last paragraph suggest?A. People away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture.B. A fish cannot survive without water.C. People away from their cultures experience mental loneliness.D. People away from their cultures want nothing to do with their native country.解析:句意理解题。根据最后一段中的“When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture.（当一个人进入一种陌生的文化时,他或她会感到十分不自在。新来的人有时觉得自己不属于这里的文 化，觉得被当地的文化成员抛弃了。）”可知，作者引用a fish out of water（十分不自在） 想要表明远离他们自己的文化的人会经历精神上的孤独。故选Co 答案:C7. What is the biggest barrier people often meet with in a new country?A. The language.B. The transportation.C. The environment.D. The puzzlement.解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “Newcomers may be anxious because they don' t speak the language.（新来的人可能会担心，因为他们不会说这种语言。）”并结合常识可知，在一个新的国家,人们遇到的最大问题就是语言不通。故选Ao 答案:A 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。Choosing to Study OverseasEvery year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, the summer, or a year.
