Once after he had traveled back ,he found Bill was in a bad mood. When he asked what the problem was , Bill told Zhang Tao that his son Adam got furious about the noise Zhang made when walking upstairs and also because he was using too much water in the solar powered shower and Adam had to have his shower in cold water. Bill told Zhang Tao that he should walk more softly in future , and have a fast shower to save water. Zhang Tao felt uneasy.How could the host set such rules for his guest?!Question:Why did Zhang Tao feel uneasy?參考答案：(1) In China, when people host someone , they put the guest in the place of honor to show hospitality. They try to take care of the guest , and try to make the guest feel comfortable and at ease.(2) In America , people tend to give the guest great freedom and treat a guest more casually , naturally and truthfully.(3) Zhang Tao knew he was a guest , and thought in terms of Chinese expectations of hospitality. He thought Bill should treat him courteously instead of setting rules for him.(4) Since Zhang Tao lived in American surroundings , he should have known about the customs there sooner.12.

Read Passage 2 and then decide whether each of Statements 2125 is True or False according to the information given in the passage. Write "T" for true and "F" for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2How can we ease the process of coming to terms with a new culture?Everyone going to work or study in an alien culture for any length of time will experience culture shock. Sooner or later frustrations and despondency stemming from trying to come to terms with unfamiliar ways will arise. However , it' s possible to take steps to lessen the severity of culture shock and to hasten adjustment to the culture of the new country , to the host culture.First , newcomers need to remember that the host culture has its own reasons for doing things in a certain way. When you run up against difficulties , try to avoid the simple assumption that people are behaving in an unreasonable or hostile fashion. Be more charitable. Assume instead that your expectations were thwarted because you didn' t yet quite grasp the local ways. Suspend judgment until you are sure you understand the case fully.Such understanding can come from several sources. One of the most important is from those who come from the same cultural background , who have gone through the same experience and successfully adjusted to life in the new environment. Adaptation is on occasion a two-way process. British workers in a Japanese factory in England have to learn to adapt to the different work practices imported by their Japanese managers from Japan; at the same time the latter have to become acclimatized to life in England.21. Only a few people may experience culture shock when they come to a new culture.22. It is important to understand that different cultures have different ways of doing things.23. People tend to show hostile behavior. when they are in a foreign country.24. It is useful to talk to people who are newly adjusted to the new culture.25. It is enough for the newcomers in a culture to adapt themselves.參考答案：21. F22. T23. F24. T25. F17. marital ( )A.of or relating to marriageB.wife or husbandC.to save參考答案：A18.
