People who have spent time in other cultures often talk about "reverse (反向的) culture shock". If you leave your country for more than a short tourist trip and then go back home, you may feel it.

What is"reverse culture shock"? Well, imagine the following; You have just adapted (适应) to a new culture and have come to enjoy life in it. You have made new friends and have had a great variety (多种多样) of new experiences.Then, sadly enough, it's time to leave, but you are also very excited about going home.Arriving home is wonderful—seeing all the friends and relatives you haven't seen, eating all the special foods, reading the newspapers and hearing music you haven't heard in such a long time.But then after a few weeks, perhaps, things may not seem so "wonderful". You may become critical of your home country where you have grown up. You may not like certain things or ideas. In your eyes, either you or your home country has changed so much that you begin to    worry.

So some experts explain it like this: When a person lives in a different cultural environment for a period of time, experiences cultural shock and adapts to the foreign culture, when he returns to his motherland, he appears symptoms (症状) of not adapting to his own culture.It's a difficult period, and many people experience it after the excitement of coming home has worn off. Luckily, it doesn't usually last as long as adjustment (调整) to a new culture does.

34. From the passage, " reverse culture shock"connects with people who ______________.

A. are living abroad                  B. are going to make foreign friends

C. plan to study a different culture     D. come back from a foreign country

35. According to the writer, before going home, people always feel ______________.

A. sad but excited                    B. nervous but special

C. wonderful but disappointed          D. surprised but natural

36. After getting home, people probably dislike things or ideas they meet because ______________.

A. their relatives keep away from them

B. they can hardly read local newspapers

C. they become worried about the changes around them

D. they grow older and have little interest in everything

37. The last paragraph mainly tells us that people will ______________.

A. find it difficult to travel alone

B. feel excited to listen to old music

C. certainly come back to their normal life

D. be lucky enough to learn about a new culture

                                       C

Since I became a mother, I cannot remember the-last time I had spare time for myself. Even my simple hobby of reading a book was already a thing of the past. All my time was spent taking care of the family, doing house chores, and of course, working to make a living.

I longed for “me time". When I say " me time ", I only mean having an hour of quietness, listening to music, reading a book, or watching a movie, without being troubled by my kids.

It was not until quite recently that I had a chance to travel to a new country all by myself to start a new job! My husband and kids would have to follow at a later date.

Now, I am alone in an apartment. Finally, I can do whatever I want and keep the house clean and tidy. I can read my favorite books and do all that I want to do with my time. I practically have all the time for myself!

But surprisingly it doesn't make me happy. I am lonely. No more daily routine (常规) of nagging (唠叨) and pushing the kids to get up. I miss my kids and my husband. I feel something in me is missing. Now I realize that making time for me doesn't mean being away from those I love. I can still have "me time"even if I have the kids around and endless chores to do.

I can change my attitude toward chores and routines. Life won't be the same without the people you love near you. Now I am looking forward to them joining me soon.

38. Before becoming a mother, the writer's life was ______________ in the past.

A. tiring       B. busy       C. simple       D. hard

39. In Paragraph 2, the underlined phrase "longed for" probably means ______________.

A. waited for somebody for a long time

B. wanted something very much

C. worked hard to make a living

D. tried to understand something

40. In the writer's opinion,"me time" means ______________.

A. having little time for herself

B. doing whatever she never did before

C. being away from her troublesome kids

D. trying to enjoy her life with daily routine

41. From the passage, we can infer that the author ______________.

A. will join her family soon

B. is living happily in a foreign country

C. will never do chores anymore

D. is looking forward to reading alone

D

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains broke the only power cables (电缆线) in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps (灯)，which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases (气体) they produce.

Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution.They made a new lamp that can be powered by plants and soil (土壤)，both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies.The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb (灯泡).

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ideas is quite simple. As plants create their food, they also produce waste which they return to the soil.Small animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons (电荷). The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamp for later use.

The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa several years ago. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp can keep helping to improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.

42. From Paragraph 1, we know that the oil lamps ______________.

A. are really heavy             B. cost the least money

C.produce harmful gases       D. are used by the researchers

43. The villagers solved their problems ______________.

A. by themselves             B. in a new area

C.by using wooden boxes     D. with the help of the UT team

44. It can be learned from the passage that ______________.

A. the energy can be kept in the plants for later use

B. it is hard for villagers to find materials for the new lamps

C. the science behind the idea is quite difficult to understand

D. the new lamps will continue to improve the villagers' life

45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Wonderful Solution

B. An Expensive Invention

C. A Special Research Team

D. A Terrible Animal Waste

Dear Mike,

School is another important living environment for us teenagers. It's normal to have problems at school. Here are some of my ideas.

Sometimes, you are not confident enough in public. Maybe you are a little shy. In my opinion you are expected to be more active so that you will be braver than before.

If you can't communicate well with some of your classmates, I suggest that you should learn to exchange the roles. Besides, it's good to appreciate others' advantages. You are supposed to break the ice first and communicate better with them.

Well, when you have much stress from exams, try to relax yourself by doing sports. Don't be too nervous, your teachers will also offer to help.

I hope my advice can help you and things will be better!

Best regards,

Li Hua
