Just as you will have to prepare yourself for a period of psychological disorientation when you leave the USA, you should know that after your time abroad, you may also have to prepare yourself for a parallel period of readjustment when you return "home". Why? Simply because, if you have had a full experience living and learning overseas, you are likely to have changed some while you have been away. So the place you return to may itself appear to have changed, as indeed it might have. Even though these changes are seldom huge, and may not be apparent to others, you are likely to be very aware of them, and this can be confusing, all the more so because it is unexpected. Brigham Young University’s Culture Grams offer many insights on customs and lifestyles of individual countries. Phone 1-800-528-6279 or visit the website at http: //www. culturegram. com.
Immediately after you return, you can probably expect to go through an initial stage of euphoria and excitement. Most people are overwhelmed by the sheer joy of being back on their native land. But as you try to settle back into your former routine, you may recognize that your overseas experiences has changed some of many of your perceptions and assumptions, your ways of doing things, even what it means to " be yourself". You might have become, in a sense, a somewhat new person. After all, that is what education is all about! But this intellectual and personal growth means that you can expect a period of disorientation as you adjust to the " new" environment at home.
The readjustment period is usually rather short-lived, since " home" will never be as " foreign" to you as the foreign environment you adjusted to overseas. Also, your experience of dealing successfully with culture shock abroad will have provided you with the psychological tools for dealing with the challenges of readjustment. Obviously, the more you have immersed yourself, the more difficult it will be to have things go back to a previous notion of normality. However, if you are a-ware of the changes (and seek to learn from them) , smooth adaptation is more likely.
The word " euphoria" (Para. 2) probably means______.
选项
答案
a strong feeling of happiness and excitement
解析
(文章第二段第二句话提到Most people are overwhelmed by the sheer joy of being back on their native land“许多人经受不住回到自己国家的高兴心情。”以及与euphoria并列的excitement可知euphoria的含义应该是表示“高兴的心情”。)
