　　英语六级阅读精选题(一)

　　Culture shock is precipitated1 by the anxiety thatresults from losing all our familiar signs and symbolsof social intercourse. Those signs or cues includethe thousand and one 2 ways in which we orient3ourselves to the situation of daily life ; when toshake hands and what to say when we meet people ,when and how to give tips, how to make purchases,when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and whennot. These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms, areacquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as thelanguage we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and ourefficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we do not carry on the level of consciousawareness.

　　Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed.He or she is like a fish out of water4 . No matter how broad-minded5 or full of good will youmay be , a series of props6 have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling offrustration7 and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First theyreject the environment which causes the discomfort.“The ways of the host country are badbecause they make us feel bad. ”When foreigners in a strange land get together to grouseabout8 the host country and its people , you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock.Another phase of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly assumes atremendous importance. To the foreigner everything becomes irrationally glorified. All thedifficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. Itusually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.

　　Some of the symptoms of culture shock are excessive washing of the hands, excessiveconcern over drinking water, food dishes, and bedding; fear of physical contact with attendants,the absent-minded stare; a feeling of helplessness and a desire for dependence on long-termresidents of one’s own nationality; fits of anger over minor frustrations; great concern overminor pains and eruptions of the skin; and finally, that terrible longing to be back home.

　　Bulls and humans alike slipped and slid on thecobblestone streets, but the first of Pamplona'sannual runs with the bulls was largely free of injuryas thousands of daredevils2 sprinted with the half-ton animals.

　　Some runners, sounding disappointed, said theywould seek out greater danger in coming days as thewidely popular, centuries-old San Fermin3 festival serves up six more runs this week.

　　“ It was a bit timid, to be honest. Nowhere near as scary as in the books, ”said Johnny, 26,from New Zealand, here for the first time after reading about San Fermin on a website.

　　“Tomorrow we are going to try and run a bit closer to the bulls and get a bit more adrenaline, ”added his friend, Richard, 26 , cradling the day's first beer.

　　The streets were slightly slick with morning dew as six fighting bulls and six steers dashedfrom a corral along the 900 -yard course through the city’s old quarter to the bull ring.

　　At two sharp turns, several bulls slipped and went down with a heavy thud, and two bulls wereseparated from the pack. And a minor pileup of fallen runners formed at the tunnel leadinginto the bullring. Bulls jumped or stepped over the runners.

　　Thousands of people watching in the street and from balconies shouted as the bulls rumbledthrough the city’s old quarter, taking just over two and a half minutes to cover course.

　　No one was gored, although four people who were trampled were hospitalized for treatment ofhead, chest, rib or leg injuries. None was seriously hurt.

　　The steers are meant to keep the bulls more or less in a cluster — a spooked, isolated bull isvery dangerous

　　The fiesta 4, famed for its all-night street parties, dates back to the late 16 th century butgained world fame from Ernest Hemingway5's novel The Sun Also Rises. Tens of thousandsfrom all over the world have been pouring into Pamplona for the annual festival ever since .
