Dear Disney,

Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom-Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical. We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.

Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with “her” ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride, she went to the nearest shop and brought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, “Thank you, ” but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

Yours,

Carman Rivera

People who argue and disagree for unimportant reasons are at an increased risk of dying young, according to a new study. Frequent quarrels in family life and work not only destroy their happiness, they also leave them feeling upset. Danish researchers found men and women who are often in quarrels are two to three times more likely to die young.

They examined nearly 9, 875 men and women aged between 36 and 52 to note the influence of quarrels rates on early death. They were asked about their relationship with friends, family, children and co-workers.

The researchers said stress led to high blood pressure and heart disease, which are the key to risk factors（风险因素） for early death. Nearly 19 per cent of people said children and parents caused stress. About eight per cent reported feeling stressful because of demands from social relations.

'While we've known the protective role that healthy social relations play, the results of this study suggest that social relations are actually more like a double-edged sword, as they can also be destructive when unhealthy, ' said Dr Simon Rego, the director of Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

The findings prove men are especially vulnerable （易受伤害的）to being under the high pressure of providing for a family, the study said. And that explains why more men die from heart disease at a young age, the researchers said.

They ask people to develop skills to deal with stressful events to reduce early death. 'According to these findings, we conclude that designing and carrying out psychological treatment （心理治疗）, which focuses on teaching specific skills like how to manage worries and demands from close social relations, as well as quarrel management within families, may be an important method for reducing early death, ' Dr Rego told Health Day News.

33. What do we know about the study?

A. It focused on improving relationships.

B. 27 per cent of the people were quarrelsome.

C. It aimed to find a reason behind early death.

D. Most of the people were upset by family stress.

34. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 means social relations ____.

A. do more harm than good     B. may bring stress sometimes

C. affect people's lives greatly    D. are the main reason for early death

35. Men are more likely to die young because of high pressure of ____.

A. unhappy lives       B. raising a family

C. children's education      D. competition at work

36. What should be the best title for the passage?

A. Why quarrel?        B. Want to live long?

C. Die at an early age      D. Live a peaceful life

D

 My own experiment with culture shock came to a fruitless end when I returned with homesick from a year's study in Italy. I had never heard of culture shock. All I knew was that I was unhappy and wanted to go home.

That was twenty years ago, and since then culture shock has become a real field of study. It is now understood that any normal person, finding himself or herself for an extended time in a new culture, is in for trouble.

The process of “culture shock” is now recognized as so predictable that its four stages have been noticeable. The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows. In this stage, the new country and its people seem delightful. Everything is better than home. Everything is so different and charming.

Then the bloom comes off the rose. Now the people start to look shallow, selfish and stupid. The different ways of doing things don't seem interesting any more. You start to feel tired all the time. Culture shock has set in. You feel at sea.

The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression, worry and resentment can. all enter to varying degrees. You may become physically ill. Little things seem terribly annoying.

The happier resolution is to move on to stage three. Adjusting. Rather than listing what's “wrong” with Americans, you remind yourself that “right” and “wrong” are not meaningful terms in cultural matters.

Instead, you try to understand what motivates Americans, perhaps realizing that many of the things you don't like are related to the things you do like.

As time goes on, you should be moving into stage four. Acceptance. At this point, you simply don't think any more about the specialties of Americans. You accept them as individuals. You have started to feel at home; you know how to do things. You have not rejected your old culture; but the American ways have settled upon you. You feel optimistic about your future here. You have truly arrived.

37. Why do people not suffer from culture shock when they first arrive in a foreign country?

A. They love to travel.

B. They don't stay in one place long enough.

C. The new country and its people are delightful.

D. Everything is so different and charming.

38. Which one. is the possible psychological effect of culture shock on the second stage?

A. Anxiety.    B. Excitement.    C. Curiosity.   D. Delight.

39. Which of the following statements will the writer agree with?

A. Any normal person facing a new culture will be in trouble.

B. Culture shock is now recognized as unpredictable.

C. There is no “right” and “wrong” in terms of cultural matters.

D. When you reject your old culture, you can accept the new one.

40. The passage is mainly about

A. the study of culture shock

B. how to get rid of culture shock

C. the writer's own experiment with culture shock

D. the four stages of culture shock and their features
