Culture shock is an occupational disease (职业病) for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.
Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: How to shake hands and what to say when meeting people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for the peace of our mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.
Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be, a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which causes discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad Because they make us feel bad. When foreigners on a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.
According to the passage, culture shock is______.
A.an occupational disease of foreign people
B.may lead to very serious symptoms
C.actually not a disease
D.incurable

Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. There may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings. It may not express any important feeling at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly.
Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected long after it is first introduced. It will gain a kind of permanent status while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems to be" the newer, the better" , the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass.
A piece of original music ______.
A.has a personal style
B.sounds very familiar to our ears
C.is one whose style. you cannot recognize
D.can not be recognized as belonging to any composer

brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate (take part in). It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your cars but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (music band) even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior. may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.
1、Few people are able to listen to familiar music without ______.
A、moving some part of their body
B、stopping what they arc doing to listen
C、directing the orchestra playing it
D、wishing that they could conduct music properly
2、Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to ______.
A、hear the music
B、enjoy the music fully
C、appreciate the music completely
D、understand the music
3、The best title for this selection is______.
A、An Ear for Music
B、Music Appreciation
C、How Muscles Participate in Menial Acts
D、A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process
4、The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of ______.
A、"feeling" the music
B、participating in the performance
C、deriving enjoyment from the music
D、all of the above
5、Some psychologists maintain that thinking is ______.
A、not a mental process
B、more of a physical process than a mental action
C、a process that involves our entire bodies
D、a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain
第5题
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot." That's tree. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak. comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in day, rise before your usual hour. This won' t change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before petting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.
A.he is a lazy person
B.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C.he is not sure when his energy is low
D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

Bond examined the Swiss watches in his shop window and then turned and sauntered on. After a few yards he stopped again. Still nothing. He went on and turned fight into the Avenue of the Americans, stopping in the first doorway, the entrance to a women's underwear store where a man in a tan suit with his back to him was examining the black lace pants on a particularly realistic dummy(模型). Bond turned and leant against a pillar and gazed lazily but watchfully out into the street.
And then something gripped his pistol arm and a voice snarled:" All right, Limey. Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch", and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney.
What was there familiar about that voice? The law? The gun? Bond glanced down to see what was holding his right ann. It was a steel hook. Well, if the man had only one arm! Like lightening he turned around, bending sideways and bringing his left fist round in a flailing blow, low down.
There was a smack as his fist was caught in the other man's left hand, and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond's mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well-remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying:" No good, James. The angles have got you."
Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the grinning hawk-life face of Felix Leiterwith blank disbelief, his built-up tension slowly relaxing.
"So you were doing a front tail, you lousy bastard, "he finally said.
Bond realized that he was being followed by means of ______. ()
A.his common sense
B.his sense of humour
C.his sight
D.his sixth sense
