单选题Culture shock is the loss of emotional balance, disorientation(方向障碍), or confusion that a person feels when moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one. When it is a common experience, the degree to which it occurs will vary from one person to another. Individual personality, previous cross-cultural experience, and language proficiency all affect a person"s ability to interact socially in the new culture. The basic cause of culture shock is the abrupt loss of all that is familiar, leading to a sense of isolation. When an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of those familiar signs and hints are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or good-willed he may be, a series of properties have been knocked from under him. This may be followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: "The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad." Another aspect of culture shock is regression(倒退). The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance, and everything becomes irrationally glorified. All difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. Common symptoms of culture shock include the following extremes. There are excessive concerns over delays and other minor frustrations; fear of being cheated, robbed or injured; sleeplessness or a desire to sleep more; and a great longing to go home. Underlying all these is the uncomfortable feeling of not really belonging, of being an outsider.

单选题In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is to communicate, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speaker actually say "I"ll do it". The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.

单选题Dear Sir/Madam, I attended your exhibition 2009 at the Fortune Hotel from 14—19 August and found it informative and interesting. Unfortunately, my enjoyment of the event was spoiled by a number of organizational problems. Firstly, I had difficulty in registering (注册) to attend the event. You set up an on-line registration facility, but I found the facility totally unworkable. After spending several wasted hours trying to register in this way, the computer would not accept my application. I eventually succeeded in registering by faxing (传真) you. Secondly, what I want to mention is product information. It is very enjoyable to see and test a range of excellent sound systems, but it is also important to be able to take away leaflets (说明书) on interesting products, so that more research can be done before deciding which system to buy. However, by the time I attended the exhibition all the leaflets had been taken. Could I please ask you to look into these matters—not only on my behalf but also on behalf of other attendees, and in fact on behalf of your company, too. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Michael Liu
