Culture shock is a complex topic, but I'm a simple man with simple perspectives. So my experience of foreign culture boils down to three basic stages: anger, acceptance and appreciation.When I began my life in China I was often filled with frustration and 1 over the way things were. Things were seen as clearly “ 2 ” and I rejected the view of there being other ways of doing things. Afterwards I came to 3 different ways of doing things but still saw my own ways as superior.My views were still heavily colored by 4 and I often accepted situations I felt 5 by simply coining the phrase "That's China," 6 China was a backward country that simply didn't do things correctly. Finally, however , I came to understand and appreciate the new 7 and ways of doing things, sometimes using them as effectively as the 8 .For example, fish is never 9 with the head in my country, thus my feelings went from “Ugh! I can’t eat this! The fish is 10 at me saying, `You're a 11 man.' Take this off the table,” to “I’ll let my friends enjoy, but I'll just stick with the other dishes,” and to "Would anyone mind if I eat the eyeball?"It is not the same with every westerner, and some take 12 than others to go through the three stages. It all depends on how 13 you are and how tightly you 14 to your own culture. It took a little over a year of living in China before I finally appreciate the new culture. Now, I'm more 15 in China than in my own country.1. A. curiosity B. fear C. purpose D. anger2. A. wrong B. right C. wise D. smooth3. A. find B. use C. accept D. refuse4.

I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly 1 the great day gift-giving in advance. Each day the children produced some new 2 — string of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and German bell. Through it all a girl remained alone, watching from a distance, 3 miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so withdrawn . I hoped the festivities would 4 to her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles（玻璃弹子）and competed with one another to bring the 5 ones. The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were 6 . All along, she sat quietly watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she 7 away. I had not passed through the wall of 8 she had built around herself. After school I sat down in a chair, hardly 9 of what was happening. When she came to me with her hands holding a small white box and slightly soiled, as if it had been held many times by 10 childish hands, she said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but nodded her head. I took the box and cautiously opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble 11 from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old face and saw the 12 in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew — she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or 13 her childish joys or sorrows. I meant it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it.” Neither of us could stop the 14 . She threw herself into my arms and we wept together.

But, for Cai Yingjie, 16 unusual night has a different meaning: helping beggars and the homeless. Cai, a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. 17 she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, 18 (give) the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves. The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “ 19 the first time I feel respected”. Cai said, “A beggar’s life is even 20 (hard) today. That’s why I want to help them.” They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer 21 some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them 22 a look of surprise. “I know the 23 (active) can’t help much, but it is meant 24 (show) our respect and care for beggars and the homeless 25 have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group.

Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate. Half a century later, Mrs Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D.C. to receive the award. “She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank. “She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart.” People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. “She reminded people of their Grandma.” Doody said. As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries. “She dedicated her life to giving back,” said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “She would give people food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their can,” Cooper said. Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. She died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93.
