Culture shock is the term these specialists 36 when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are 37 stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh feeling 38 , they begin to 39 the city, the country, the people there, and 40 else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and, as a result, 41_ their life. There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unp1easant. The customs may be different. The public 42_ system-the telephone, post office, or transportation-may be hard to work out. The most simple things seem to be big 43 . The language may be difficult. Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock still 44 most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who 45 had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, those people find they do not have 46 established positions. They find themselves without a role, 47_without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. Culture shock 48_ rise to a feeling of disorientation(无方向). This feeling may be home-sickness. When homesick, people like staying 49_ all the time.

Among the topics we address in our course is the retention（保护力） of quality employees-a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale（标准）in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants（参加者）, “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time back a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a $19 baseball glove.”Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an interim（临时的） position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we cant pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”The thoughtfulness, empathy and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.56Among many of the problems in the service industry, talked about in this passage, is .Ahow to ensure his employees high pay Bhow to attract more customers Chow to look carefully after the employees Dhow to keep the good employees from leaving57Although a new manager, Cynthia would do her job well in keeping quality employees because she .Ahad mastered all the courses for the managerBhad already formed good relationship with the employeesCknow the way how to deal with her employeesDhad her own personal experience58This passage shows us that to run a business well it is necessary for managers to let their employees know .Ahow much they can get for their job. Bwhat good positions they can get laterCthey are very necessary to the business Dthey are nice as well as useful59The story told in this passage tells us that employees care about .Aonly how large a pay they can getBlove from the managing people rather than only moneyCif their children could be properly taken care ofDwhat position they can be offeredBWhatever our differences as human beings are, we all think were more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic（遗传的）structure with the simple worm.But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome（染色体组）.To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode（线虫类的）worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.60Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has .Afound that human beings are similar to the wornBgot the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple wormCfound the computer which controls each of the cells in the human bodyDproved that cell death is programmed61People might be seriously ill if the cells in heir body .Agrow without being instructedBdie regularlyCfail to follow peoples instructions Ddevelop in the human body62The underlined word “they” (paragraph 5) refers to .Acell deathsBdiseasesCinstructionsDcells63What is the subject discussed in the text?AThe theory of programmed cell deaths. BA great scientistSir John Sulston.CThe programmed human life. DDangerous diseases.CSports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters many take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.64According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .Ait can help them learn more about societyBit teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesCit enables them to find flaws in themselvesDit can provide them with valuable experiences65Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes .Awithout realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceBin order to make them remember lifes lessonsCbelieving that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentDso as to put more pressure on them66According to the passage parents and coaches should .Ahelp children to win every gameBpay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsCenable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsDtrain children to deal with stress67The authors purpose in writing the passage is .Ato persuade young children not to worry about criticismBto emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenCto discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementDto teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutDMore surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving（旺盛的）. As Skolnich notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline（衰退）in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce（离婚）rate needs to be taken in this pro- marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of the people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty- five years ago, the typical American family consisted of the husband, the wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children, and there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage, or the husbands, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses（配偶）Thus, one can find every type of tamely arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriages; marriages with “full - time” children from both the present and former marriages; marriages with“full- time”children from the present marriage and“ part- time”children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half- brothers and half - sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.68By calling Americans a marrying people the writer means that _. A. Americans are more traditional than Europeans B. Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans C. there are more married couples in the USA than in Europe D. more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age69Divorced Americans _ .A. prefer the way they liveB. will most likely remarryC. have lost interest in marriageD. are the majority of people in the society70Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families？A. Which types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.B. A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.C. Americans prefer to have more kids than before.D. There are no nuclear families any more.71Though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families, _ .A. the majority of Americans still have faith in marriageB. the functions of marriage remain unchangedC. most Americans prefer a second marriageD. most Americans prefer to be singleEMa
