Culture shock usually goes through four phases. The first phase is known as the honeymoon stage. During this stage, people are excited about the new environment and everything seems interesting and wonderful. They are curious about the local culture, food and customs, and they often feel happy and satisfied. The second phase is the rejection stage. After a few weeks or months, the excitement fades away. People begin to notice the differences between their own culture and the local culture, and they may feel frustrated and lonely. They may complain about the local people and the environment, and they may even want to give up and go back to their home country. The third phase is the regression stage.

A large number of children cannot go to school, and many adults are illiterate. This has a bad influence on the development of these countries, as education is very important for economic and social progress. In the past, many African countries tried to improve education by building more schools and training more teachers. However, this method was very expensive and could not meet the needs of all people, especially those living in remote areas. In recent years, the development of mobile technology has offered a new method for Africa to deal with its education problem. Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular in Africa, even in remote areas. People can use mobile phones to access educational resources, take online courses and learn new skills. Mobile learning has many advantages. It is cheap and convenient, and it can reach people in remote areas who cannot go to school. Unlike the traditional "one-size-fits-all" education model, mobile learning can be personalized to meet the different needs of different learners. For example, some people can learn at their own pace, and others can choose the courses they are interested in. The future of mobile learning in Africa is hopeful. With the continuous development of mobile technology, more and more people will be able to get quality education through mobile phones. This will help improve education levels in Africa and promote the development of the continent. 42. What problem are many African countries facing according to paragraph 1? A.
