He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him. “Where are your children?” asked
20、Minh. “Why dont they help you buy food?”“Our children have their own lives,” they said. “We like to be free to do as we like.” Minh doesnt think this is right. In his country, children help their parents. Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number. He told them to call him if they needed help. On
21、e night they asked Minh to dinner, but they never asked him for help. One day, Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend. The two were going to a film. Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first. Minh took his friends hand. He pulled him toward the restaurant. People on the street stared at Minh. In Vi
22、etnam, friends often hold hands. Minh found out that people in America are not used to men holding hands. Minh Pham is going through a process known as resocialization. Socialization is the process through which a person learns to live in a society. Everyone goes through this process. Minh went thro
23、ugh it when he lived in Vietnam. But the Vietnamese way of life is much different from the American way of life. When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life.

27、climateC) communicate with foreign people thereD) avoid culture shock and get used to a new lifePassage Two Culture shock is the loss of emotional balance, disorientation, or confusion that a person feels when moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one. When it is a common experience, t
28、he degree to which it occurs will vary from one person to another. Individual personality, previous cross-cultural experience, and language proficiency all affect a persons ability to interact socially in the new culture. The basic cause of culture shock is the abrupt loss of all that is familiar, l
29、eading to a sense of isolation. When an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of those familiar signs and hints are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or good-willed he may be, a series of properties have been knocked from under him. This may be fol

First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: “The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.” Another aspect of culture shock is regression (倒退). The home envir
