Test 1
Directions: Read the followi ng passages
carefully. Then answer the questions or complete
the statements in the fewest possible words (not
exceeding 10 words).
Culture shock is so named because of the effect
it has on people when they enter a new culture.
Experts have been interested in these effects
and have agreed on
five basic stages of culture shock. These stages
are general and should only be
used as a reference. Not every individual will
go through each stage, and one s
tage may last longer that another for different
individuals.
The hardest thing for most travelers to deal
with is the emotional “roller
coaster” they seem to be riding. One moment they
feel very positive toward the
new culture, and the next moment very negative.
It seems common that international visitors and
immigrants vacillate between loving and hating a
new country. Feelings of separation and
alienation can be intensified if they do not
have a sense of fitting in or belonging.
Fatigue is another problem people face when
entering a new culture. There can be a sense of
a greater need for sleep. This is due not only
to physical tiredness, but also to mental
fatigue. This mental fatigue comes from
straining to comprehend the language, and coping
with new situations.
The impact of culture shock can vary from person
to person. There can be significant differences
because some people may be better prepared to
enter a new culture. Four factors which play
into these are personality, language ability,
length of stay, and the emotional support
received.
It is logical to think that when people are
deprived of their familiar surroundings they
will feel disoriented. One solution some have
found is to bring a few small reminders of home.
Pictures, wall hangings, favorite utensils, and
keep
sakes are all good candidates to make things
feel more familiar. Another helpful
activity is to establish little routines that
become familiar over time. Even better is
fitting things that were part of the regular
routine back in the home country into the
routine established in the new culture. This
will make people feel more at home.
