   Years ago my three-year-old son, Jeremy, and I walked to our car. He _______ me with excitement. I found he was holding a _______ in his little hand. I hadn’t given it to him, so I asked, “Where did you get that?” He _______ to the store we’d just _______. But we hadn’t paid for it.

I had a lot of things to do that day, but taking _______ of this moment to teach character to my son just moved to the _______ of my to-do list.

My son is now 40, with children of his own, but he still clearly ________ that day. And, now, I’m so ________ that those character traits I tried to teach him took ________ in his heart and life. He’s now teaching them to my beloved ________.

   When I first arrived in Australia at the age of 16 to go to high school for one year and live with a host family,I was completely over the moon about everything. I had been planning for many months. And,even though we exchange students participated in a one-day preparatory meeting,culture shock couldn't be avoided.

Those first weeks are so-called "honeymoon phase I" where you are happy to be in that culture.

However,this feeling didn't last forever. After about two months,differences became more evident. I started missing my friends and family more and more. Frustrating thoughts increasingly occupied my head—Nobody really understands me,and my English is not good enough. I wish people would just be able to speak German for one day!I wish public transportation would work the same way as at home!And so on. I knew it was "honeymoon phase Ⅱ".

Over the next few months,though,I slowly and unknowingly entered the "adjustment(适应)phase". I developed my own little routine,learned to adapt to stress through various techniques,and made many new friends. My English improved dramatically!

I understood Australian culture better and better. That was a major breakthrough for me personally. Every day I felt more and more comfortable with my new home. I adopted many new traits(特征)while also keeping earlier ones from my home country. I would often refer to myself as "having a second nationality". This process which happened over my last few months abroad is called the "mastery phase". My happiest moment was when my dear friend one day said during a conversation,"You are Australian now,Jude!You sound just like us!"

I want to point out that the effects of culture shock are different for everyone and can result in different behavior and feelings. The timing of the different phases also varies a lot from person to person. One thing is for sure though —Culture shock is unavoidable and acceptance is the first step towards adjusting better to a foreign culture.

【小题1】According to the passage, which phase is the most difficult to go through?
A.Honeymoon phase I.
B.Honeymoon phase Ⅱ.
C.Adjustment phase.
D.Mastery phase.
【小题2】From the passage, we can know about the following facts except that ________.
A.in "honeymoon phase I", the author felt excited about everything
B.the culture is different between Australia and Germany
C.the author didn't realize he entered the "adjustment phase"
D.the happiest moment appeared in the "adjustment phase"
【小题3】What happened in the "mastery phase"?
A.The author got rid of his earlier habits.
B.The author quitted his nationality.
C.The author adjusted to the culture better.
D.The author made many new friends.
【小题4】What's the most important thing to deal with culture shock?
A.Ignoring it.B.Avoiding it.
C.Accepting it.D.Changing it.

   What do you think of cats? Some people think very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs, cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides, cats are not known for acts of selflessness (无私). But maybe we’re wrong about them. Don’t believe it? Then meet Pippa, a very unusual cat.
The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable, Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it,but they never guessed she’d become a lifesaver.
Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day, as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death.
Soon after she was adopted, Pippa went into Mia’s bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels, she found they were dangerously low. Ever since, Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can’t get her to wake up, she raises the alarm.
Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia’s mother Laura. “We don’t make a request for caring because we don’t want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia.”
Now the family is so happy that they’ve chosen to adopt it in the first place.
【小题1】Why did the family decide to adopt the cat?
A.Because they considered it as a lifesaver.
B.Because her character interested them.
C.Because they really loved her looks.
D.Because Mia Jansa needed help.
【小题2】What problem did Mia Jansa face?
A.She was bad at testing her blood.
B.She might suffer death in the daytime.
C.She might be in danger while asleep at night.
D.She couldn’t let her blood sugar levels return to normal.
【小题3】For what does Pippa visit Mia at night?
A.To see if her blood sugar levels are normal.
B.To make her laugh when she’s lonely.
C.To make sure that she is safe.
D.To play with the alarm.
【小题4】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Pippa does that according to her own habits.
B.Pippa does that without being asked.
C.Pippa does that for her own good.
D.Pippa does that without a purpose.

   All of my friends had jobs but I didn’t. That’s because they had a “hook up”. At times, I wished I had a hook up! If I did, I wouldn’t have to go through all those nervous interviews, or waste my ink on those applications that probably got thrown.

One day I asked my grandmother, “Why does no one want to hire me?” She said it was because I didn’t have any experience. How was I supposed to have experience when I’d never had a job before? Even McDonald’s wouldn’t hire me. I applied there so many times. It was a shame.

The Gap was one of the hardest places to apply. Once you filled out an application, the managers would interview you right on the spot. It made me so nervous that I couldn’t talk right. The first question they asked was, “Why do you want to work for the Gap?” Your mind was telling you to say, “For the money.” But you didn’t want to say that because you didn’t want to make yourself sound greedy, even if it’s the truth. So I said, “Because I’m familiar with what the company does, which is selling clothes.”

However, not for long there was another question that always seemed to get me every time, “What can you bring to this company?” I didn’t know, maybe more customers? By the time I got ready to pick it up, I heard them say, “If we don’t contact you in 24 hours, you don’t get the job.”

But if I was asked that question now, I would say, “I’m a hard worker and a very reliable person, and with these kinds of abilities I cannot only do a good job, but I can influence other employees to do so too.”

Despite all the bad luck I seemed to have, I didn’t give up. Eventually, I finally found a summer job.

【小题1】The underlined phrase “hook up” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “________”.
A.comparisonB.experience
C.applicationD.connection
【小题2】According to the passage, the main reason why I was not hired by McDonald was that ________.
A.I was too young to work thereB.I had no working experience
C.I applied there so many timesD.my grandmother stopped me
【小题3】What can be learned about the Gap’s interview?
A.The managers paid attention to the interview.
B.I was not nervous at all during the interview.
C.The managers were satisfied with my answers.
D.I influenced other employees to do a good job.
【小题4】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A.My tips on job interviews.B.My good luck in job-hunting.
C.The story about my summer job.D.The process of more job interviews.
