Culture shock is a special disease for people who have suddenly moved to a foreign country. .
Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs of social communication. When to shake hands and what to say, when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to do shopping, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired（获得） by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept.
.
Now when a person enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded will you may be, a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of failure in much the same way. “The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.” When foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.
Another phrase of culture shock is regression（退化）. The home environment suddenly becomes very important. To the foreigner, everything becomes unreasonably beautified. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. .
| A．Nowadays a lot of people work at home. |
| B．The children are taught to respect different cultures ． |
| C．Like most illnesses, it has its own symptoms（病症） and cures. |
| D．It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. |

G. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness（察觉）.

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. .
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation --- for now. . Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.
.
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.

Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers --- they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping --- just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? . You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.

Every student has tests when they are at school. But have you ever been so worried about the tests that you can’t fall asleep at night? Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test? This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid --- which can give you a stomachache or a headache.
Good or normal stress might happen when you are called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done.
But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if you are going through anything else that makes you upset every day.
That means making good decision about how to spend your time. If you are only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure and Food.

| B．Can you tell a kind of stress from another one? |
| C．The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. |

F. If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.
G. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test.
