Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who havebeen suddenly transplanted abroad.Like most ailments,it has its own symptomsand cure. *Ei|fe$sa
Culture shock is precipitated by the 51 that result from losing all our familiarsigns and symbols of social intercourse.Those signs or cues include the thousandsand one ways in thich we 52 ourselves to the situation of daily life; when toshake hands and what to say,when we meet people, when and how to give tips,howto make purchases,when to accept and when to 53 invitations,when to takestatements seriously and 54 .These cues,which may be words,gestures,facialexpressions,customs,or norms,are acquired by all of us in the course of growingup and are 55 apart of our cultrue as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept.All of usdepend 56 our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues,mostof which we do not carry,57 conscious awareness. RllY-JBO
Nowwhen individual enters a strange culture,all or most of these familiar cues are58 .He or she is like a fish out water.No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you maybe, a series of props have been knocked 59 you,followed by feeling offrustrations and anxiety.People react to the frustration in much the sameway.First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort.“The ways ofthe host country are bad because they make us feel bad.”When foreigners in astrange hand get together to grouse about the 60country and itspeople.You can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. !EQ@#qW/

passage 2 @xsCXCRWVV
High-speed Living has become a fact of life andthe frantic pace is taking its toll,according to science writer James Gleick.It’s as if the old“type A”behavior of a few has expanded into the “hurrysickness ”of the many. M\b")Tu{0
“We dofeel that we’re more time-driven and time-obsessed and generally rushed thanever before”write Gleick in Faster:The Acceleration of Just About Everything,a surveyof fast -moving culture and its consfequences.We may also be acting morehastily,losing control, and thinking superficially because we lie faster. l!E7AKk8
Technologyhas conditioned us to expect instant results.Internet purchases arrive bynext-day delivery and the microvave delivers a hot meal inminutes.Faxes,e-mails,and cell phones make it plssible—and increasinglyobligatory—for people to work faster.Gleick cites numerous examples oflast-forward changes in our lives:Stock trading and news cycles are shorter;sound bites of presidential candidates on network newscasts dropped from 40secinds in 1868 to 10 seconds in 1998 ; and some fast-food restaurants haveadded express lanes c^8o~K>w84
High expectations for instant service makeeven the brief wait for an elevator seem interminable “A good waiting time isin the neighborhood of 15 seconds.Sometime around 40 seconds,people start toget visibly upset”writes Gleick.We’re dependent on systems that promise speedbut often deliver frustration.Like rush-hour drivers fuming when a singleaccident halts the evening commute,people surfing the internet squirm if a Webpage is slow to load or when access itselt is not instantaneous And the concertof “customer service”can become an oxymoron a wise fool; cruel kindness)forcustomers waiting on hold for a telephone representative. HmK*b Z
Up-tempo livinghas turned people multitaskers-eating while driving,writing an e-mailwhiletalking on the phone,or skimming dozens of television programs on splitscreen.Gleick suggests that human beings may be capable of adjusting to thesenew levels of stimuli as high-speed culture challenges our brains“in a way theywere not challenged in the past,except perhaps in times of war”.We may gain theflexibility to do several things at once but lose some of our capacity to focusin depth on a single task. <*H^(0
