Culture Shock
    Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place.    
  36  
    The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.   37   Moreover, people don’t treat you like a guest anymore.
    Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive.   38   The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
    The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good.   39   The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable. 
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.   40   It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college). 
A. You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock. 
B. And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don’t understand.
C. In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.
D. You become tired of many things about the new culture. 
E. You have learned enough to understand the new culture.
F. You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.
G. And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.
