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.
When people go abroad, ______.
选项
A、they soon adapt themselves to the new culture environment
B、they try to avoid culture shock
C、they feel lost in strange surroundings
D、they become seriously ill
答案
C
解析
由题干可知,本题考查的问题是初到异国他乡,人们会有什么感受,由此可定位到第三段前半部分,置身陌生文化之中,所有或大多数熟悉的标记都消失了,接踵而来的将会是沮丧的心情,从而会排斥引起他们不适的环境。因此选[C],同时排除[A]。文化休克无法避免,只是程度轻重不同,因此排除[B];文化休克是一种心理上的疾病,并非生理上的,故排除[D]。
