UNIT 2　Understanding each other Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·兴化中学综合演练）When Mark Twain visited Florence in 1867， he dutifully visited the city’s museums， churches， and tombs.But as he stood by the Arno， he began to sense the Italians’ insistence that it was a river， not a stream.“They all call it a river， and they honestly think it is a river， do these dark and bloody Florentines，” he complained.“I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all beautiful， all attractive.But I do not care to think of it now， at all.” 　　It’s normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture.Feelings of discomfort， dislocation， and overload among travelers are referred to by many as “culture shock”. But Susan Goldstein， a professor at the University of Redlands says，“ Though the term has existed for many years， ‘Culture shock’ implies a dramatic， unexpected， negative event.Though many travelers will experience such challenges， a real sense of ‘shock’ is untypical.So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.” 　　It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg， written in 1960 in response to his own multicultural experiences， that won over audiences.The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad” — a “disease” that progressed from a honeymoon phase， through rejecting the new environment， to finally adjusting fully to it.By the 1970s many researchers adopted the idea that， like physical illnesses， culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. 　　Modern research， however， suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual， not universal.“People will have their ups and downs， but for the most part， they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time，” Goldstein says.And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself， an individual’s internal expectations and differences are just as important. 　　As for Mark Twain， the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while traveling.He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his best-selling travel memoir （回忆录） — The Innocents Abroad famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness”.With the right attitude — and the willingness to seek help if you need it — it’s more than likely that you， too， can adapt and grow in new settings， building new memories and toughness — with each new stamp in your passport. 1.How did Mark Twain feel about Italians’ insistence？（　　） A.Annoyed.　　　　　　 B.Calm.　　 C.Uninterested.　　　　　　　 D.Curious. 2.What can be inferred about culture shock？（　　） A.It would lead to physical diseases.　 B.It was regarded as an avoidable thing.
