A

When it es to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be

able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother

tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions

that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard: ＂Will my baby be able to learn my

language?＂ Be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer

is: ＂No.＂

New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago,

who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: ＂Click here to download

your digital book?＂ Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never

know how long you will need it.

Sometimes, you have the word on the tip of your tongue... and it sticks there!

But you do know this phenomenon(现象)and don’t think that it is because of a bad

memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are

learning than in your mother tongue.

You need to learn only 2, 000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase

you need. You can’t avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all

the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method,

be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics

(记忆术). The first words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then

you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more

difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.

B

Specialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. ＂Culture shock＂ is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings

that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say

the specialists. In the first stage, the newers like their new environment. Then,

when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people,

and everything else. In the last stage, the newers begin to adjust to (适应) their

surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant.

The customs may be different. The public service systems — the telephone, post office,

or transportation — may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be

big problems. The language may be difficult.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock

surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those

who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their

munity. ing to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have

to build a new self-image.

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be

homesickness. When homesick(想家), people feel like staying inside all the time. They

want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside

their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture

shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the

culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience — these are the

long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

5. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of

the following except __________.

A. language munication

B. weather conditions and customs

C. public service systems

D. homesickness

6. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ___________.

A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroad

B. the more difficulties you may have abroad

C. the more money you will earn abroad

D. the less homesick you will feel abroad
