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. wz:e\ !
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. \T_ZcV

passage 2 s 7 nl
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. O.Pp*sQ^
“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. 1r>]XhRFZ
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 eWv:wNouk
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. x] wi&
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.

passage 3 8GW+:
Imagine a disease spreading across theglobe,killing mostly middle-aged people or leaving them chronicallydisabled.Then one day researchers come up with a drug that can prevent some ofthe disease’s nastier effects.You would think the world’s ageing public wouldbe eternally grateful. + Fo^NT
The disease does exist.It is called tobaccoaddiction.The drug too is real and in animal tests has prevented lung damagethat leads to emphysema.But the inventorshave received no bouquets Prevailing medical opinion seems to be that thedrug is a mere sideshow,distracting smokers from the task of quitting.Another experimentaldrug ,which could protect smokers against cancer ,is also viewed with suspicionbecause it could give smokers an excuse not to quit. o3+s.7 "
On the face of it these responses make sense.It is ingrained in society that smokers have only themselves to blameand their salvation lies in a simple act of will.If they will not quitsmoking,they cannot expect help from anyone else. {Ni]S$7
But thislogic is flawed.Check a survey of smokers and you find two-thirds want to giveup and one-third will have tried in the previous year.Yet,even with nicotinegum,patches and drugs to ease the ordeal,the quit rate is still under 10percent.In the UK , the proportion of people who smoke has not fallen in adecade.Tobacco has a powerful grip,and many smoker are caught in a trap theycannot escape:they have a disease like any other and deserve the chance toreduce the harm it does to them. T1$
p%yQH
Thisreasoning is hard for many to swallow.It certainly leaves governments andanti-smoking groups. They are happy to pay lip serviceto methods for reducing harm---of which three are agrowing unmber---but they are slow to create policies based upon them.EuropeanUnion countries,for example,look years to even consider regulating thedangerous additives in cigarettes. rzHBop-8
One fearis that methods for reducing harm will dilute the message that tobacco kills---especiallywhen given to youngsters.But that message won’t change.In the present case,evenif both drugs turn out to work in human trials,they would not protect againstall the deadly side effects of smoking.And the drugs do not have to be free toall.They could be available only on prescription for people who doctors believegenuinely cannot give up. KwHN c\\
There arethings that no drug aimed at harm reduction will ever be able to be.It will notcut passive smoking or stop tobacco companies persuading millionsof teenagers to light up.For these reasons all other ways to counter smokingmust continue,from banning tobacco advertising to raising tobacco taxes.But itwould be a mistake to ignore the harm reduction measures.For those who are notconvinced,forget smokers for a moment.Preventive drugs could also helpnon-smokers,especially those working long hours,as,say,musicians and bar stallin smoky rooms.Should we deny them too? n

passage 4 ::02?
Eating is related to emotional as well asphysiologic needs.Sucking ,which is the infant’s means of gaining both food andemotional security conditions the association of eating with well-being or withdeprivation.If the child is breast-fed and has supportive body cintact as wellas good mild intake,if the child is allowed to suck for as long as he or shedesires,and if both the child and the mother enjoy the nursing experience andshare their enjoyment,the child is more likely to shrive both phgysically andemotionally.On the other hand,if the mother is nervous and resents the child orcuts him her off from the milk supply before either the child’s hunger orsucking need is satisfied,or handle the child hostilely during the feeding,orprops the baby with a bottle rather than holding the child,the child maydevelop physically but will begin to show signs of emotional disturbance at anearly age.If ,in addition,the infant is further abused by parental indifferenceor intolerance,he or she will carry scars of such emotional deprivationthroughout life. +&"W:Le:
Eatinghabits are also conditioned by family and other psychosocial environments.If anindividual’s family eats large quantities of food,then he or she is inclined toeat large amounts.If an individual’s family eats mainly vegetable,then he orshe will be inclined to like vegetables.If mealtime is a happy and significantevent,then the will tend to think of eating in those terms.And if a family eatsquickly,without caring what is being eaten and while fighting at the dinnertable,then the person will most likely adopt the same eating pattern and beadversely affected by it.This conditioning to food can remain unchanged througha lifetime unless the individual is awakened to the fact of conditioning and tothe possible need for altering his or her eating patterns in order to improvenutritional intake.Conditioning spills over into and is often reinforced byreligious beliefs and other customs so that ,for example,a Jew,whose religionforbids the eating of pork,might have guilt feeling if he or she ate pork.Anolder Roman Catholi might be conditioned to feel guilty if he or she eats meaton Ffiday,traditionaly a fish day. hoBFC1
