Unit 12 Culture Shock出国留学存在争议，但作者认为，尽管出国要花很多钱，而且也许要经历许多痛苦，但其回报是丰厚的。

因为它的好处不仅仅是获得知识，而且是人的一生中值得向往的经历。

Going abroad for studyThe other day I announced that I would go abroad for further study right after my college education.My decision evoked (引起，唤起) the immediate objection of my family：Why？Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas study while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively (相对地) low cost？ 1 First，experience is the opportunity for the reallife use of foreign languages.2 ．There is no better opportunity to improve secondlanguage skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.3 On a university campus，foreign students are likely to come across their counter­parts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values.This helps me to have a better understanding of different societies and inevitably (必然地) see my own country in a new light (以新的眼光)．Third，overseas experience，disappointing and painful as it may be，is helpful.A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty－difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone.Yet，the difficulty，coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock，is a rewarding experience for one's future life and development of personality (个性)．Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful，the payoff (回报) is worthwhile.For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained，but the experience desirable in one's personal life.根据短文内容，从下面所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time，he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him world­famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928，Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition(作曲) with the well­known m usician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz­influenced style.While there，Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed，critics(评论家) were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life，to others it was silly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937，just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thi rty­nine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.(2013·山东，B)1．Many of Gershwin’s musical works were________.A．written about New YorkersB．composed for Paul WhitemanC．played mainly in the countrysideD．performed in various ways2．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A．It attracted more people to theatres.B．It proved jazz could be serious music.C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.3．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He created one of his best works.B．He studied with Nadia Boulanger.C．He argued with French critics.D．He changed his music style.4．What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．Many of Gershwin’s works were lost.B．The death of Gershwin was widely reported.C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.5．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Talented and productive.B．Serious and boring.C．Popular and unhappy.D．Friendly and honest.BThe United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June，fathers all across the United States are given presents，treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.However，the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane，Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909.Having been raised by her father，Henry Jackson Smart，after her mother died，Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was，in the eyes of his daughter，a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June，so she chose tohold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane，Washington on the 19th of June,1910.In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner，they send a greeting card. Traditionally，fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they openthem. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.6．The United States is special in Father’s Day because ________.A．many people celebrate the dayB．only America celebrates the dayC．America makes it an official dayD．all men are honored in America7．At first，Father’s Day was fixed on June 19th because ______.A．Sonora honored her father on her father’s birthdayB．Sonora’s birthday was June 19C．it was decided by the president at that timeD．her mother died on June 198．How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an official day since thefather’s day was celebrated?A. 4 B．4 C．14 D．249．According to the passage，on Father’s Day，______.A．people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathersB．only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathersC．children must go home to honor their fathersD．fathers are often honored in different ways10．According to the passage，we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ______.A．was very kind to anyoneB．did a lot for his daughterC．was the first father honored in 1924D．always helped others by giving money答案基础落实Ⅰ.A.1.b 2.e 3.f 4.a 5.c 6.dB．1.tip 2.absorb 3.majority 4.reasonable5．anyhowⅡ.1.off 2.of 3.of 4.as 5.at 6.for 7.in 8.at 9.to 10.up Ⅲ.1.expectation 2.tasty ughter 4.foggy5．majority 6.reasonable 7.physician 8.apologyⅣ.1.in advance 2.put off 3.got confused about4．got used to 5.give up 6.pay for能力提升1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．B。
