Culture shock is an occupational disease for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most illnesses, it has its Own symptoms and cure.
Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs include the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situation of daily life: 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 for our space of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these signs, most of which we do not carry on 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 removed from you, followed by a feeling of frustration in much the same way. First they 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.
Another phrase of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance. To the foreigner, everything becomes unreasonably glorified. All the 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.
According to the text, the word" regression" in ( Line 1, Para. 4) means ______.
选项
A、progress
B、sense
C、regret
D、return
答案
D
解析
由regression可定位到最后一段第一句,该段讲述置身海外的人内心渴望回到祖国,思想中将家乡美化、理想化。该词由regression组成,前缀re-的意思是back,因此选[D]return“回来,回归”。
