    Annie, my neighbor's daughter, was away for her first term at college this year. She is a very sweet girl but just a bit shy. When her birthday month 1, I found out she was feeling a bit blue and 2.

    Her family is quite 3 and finances are tight, so there wouldn't be any birthday visitors.

    I wanted to send her a card and maybe a small gift to 4 her up. I got her school address from her mom and planned to 5 send her something. Then I got a(n) 6!  I thought perhaps I could give her a big 7. I bought some balloons, birthday hats and other small novelties (新奇玩意) at a one-dollar 8.  I took a small 9 and asked three other people in my area to sing Happy Birthday and send some birthday 10 to her. Other people found out 11 we were doing and added their voices, 12 it really sounded like we had a party 13 .

    Then I bought her a small present and a card as 14 originally. The real fun was 15 it to be sent. I arranged everything specially so it was like opening a birthday present!

    At the last minute, I added a pack of small cakes and a box of birthday 16 before sending it off. 

    I got a call a few days later. Annie said her roommate and one of her neighbors in her school got together with her and held the party for her once it arrived. She sounded so 17 and I was so glad that she had some friends to 18 her special day with her.

    It was such an easy and fun thing to do. The people who helped me make the tape still laughed and talked about the 19 experience. And Annie told me it was the most fun birthday she can 20!

    Culture Shock

    Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.

    Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place.

    The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.  Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore.

    Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive.  The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.

    The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good.  The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.

    Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages. 

     It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).

A. You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.

B. And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.

C. In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.

D. You become tired of many things about the new culture.

E. You have learned enough to understand the new culture.

F. You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.

G. And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.
