单选题Culture shock is an occupational disease for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness. Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be, a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration when suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which causes discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad. When foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.

单选题Going shopping seems easy, but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in America. In fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at "sales" or at special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In America, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his/her clothes everyday. For example, in an American college, neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row. So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China. While you are shopping in the States, you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time. The purchase of used , second-hand clothing, furniture, or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money. Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality. If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture, you may go to a "loan closet", where furniture rents at low cost, or you may also go to a "furniture exchange" place in the commun ity. Sheets, blankets, and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year. Advertisements for "white sales", that is, sales on bed linen, towels, etc, often appear in January, as well as in May, June or July. Once or twice every season, there will be "garage sales", where you can get almost anything, from a yacht to a pair of shoes, at low prices. Prices at "discount stores" and "thrift shops" are also as low as you can imagine.

单选题Overhead bridges are often found in many cities, especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of building these bridges is to enable people to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossing. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When people use an overhead bridge, they don"t hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. Hence, many overhead bridges have been built to help people and to keep traffic moving smoothly at the same time. For their own safety, people should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking crossing the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
