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.
People who are suffering from culture shock tend to ______.
选项
A、take delight in gossiping
B、daydream
C、beautify their home culture
D、complain about physical discomforts
答案
C
解析
从题干suffer from可定位到第三段的最后部分和第四段的前半部分。,测试的是经受文化休克的人的心理行为表现,这些人对host country“东道国”的心理行为表现的词语有:reject, bad,feel bad,complain;而对他们的home“祖国”则是用这样的词语:importance,unreasonably glorified,good,因此选择[C]美化他们祖国文化。[A]、[B]、[D]三个选项与原文内容不符,故排除。
