AMany people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However,life overseas is not always easy,and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first,for those who actually decide to move abroad,life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings,and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practise their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases,when people consider moving to another country,they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by,they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage,the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually,most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home,such as opening a bank account. This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country:you will not succeed. If not,you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind. 1.Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A.They find foreign living much easier.B.They have the necessary language skills.C.They love the adventure and exploration.D.They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.2.According to the author,what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A.Homesickness.B.Culture shock.C.Health problems.D.Lack of employment.3.What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A.Study the local language.B.Go on holidays frequently.C.Learn how to open a bank account.D.Seek out people from their home country.BSpider (蜘蛛) webs have something in common with guitar strings. The long, thin strings on a guitar can vibrate (振动). They move back and forth, or from side to side. So do webs made by spiders. The lines of silk they produce can carry vibrations. This movement gives the small creature information about what landed on the web.Spiders have eight legs and usually eight eyes. The animals build webs with their own soft, naturally made silk. And much like playing the strings of a guitar, a spider can send out vibrations across its web over many different frequencies (频率). Spiders catch their food, usually insects in their webs. They make small movements, which spread across their webs. The vibrations can give the spider details about what is caught in the web — maybe a possible mate, or something tasty to eat.Vibrations are not just used to spot what is for dinner. They are also important in courtship (求爱), so lots of males will actually create a very specific kind of musical pattern which the females can use to determine not only that they're a male, but they're the right species, and whether they might want to mate with them as well.Spiders make their own vibrations to find out the condition of the webs. By controlling the tightness of the material, they can effectively control how information is getting to them when they hang out in the middle of the web. Spiders have a special ability to shape the physical nature of their self-made materials and creations. Scientists think that spider silk may have changed over time for this purpose. 4.How does a spider feel that an insect is caught in the web?A.Through its sense of sight.B.Through vibrations of its web.C.Through different frequencies.D.Through a musical pattern.5.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A.Insects.
