10、 any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didnt understand.Chuquicamata, my host munity（社区）, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, a
11、nd little to do for entertainment（娱乐）. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to municate and needed one person to whom I
12、could explain my shock. I couldnt speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲). I was required to overe all difficulties.As time p
13、assed, everything changed. I began to forget the words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun.

Boring and disappointing.BStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United State
18、s. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to colleges. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of
19、 school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them bee ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to bee doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvards law school. In 1825, besides L
20、atin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today there are many diff
21、erent kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning.

24、 to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the
25、 patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts“close” buttons are a plete scam, at least in the USthe doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open lo
26、ng enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons arent pletely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually
27、make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “Having a lack of control is associated with depression.”Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that
28、dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware o
29、f these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said, Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons, I alw
