Ⅰ.短文阅读
People may experience culture shock when they're suddenly in a new culture.
Culture shock usually happens in four stages(阶段). During the first stage, people often feel excited. But that excitement usually disappears after a while.
In the next stage, people might have difficulties with the local language or feel frustrated because they can't communicate with others in their mother languages.
The good news is that this stage will slowly pass into the third stage—adjustment(调整).
If you decide to make the best of your situation, you will adjust. And finally, you will enter the last stage of culture shock. Once you beg to accept the new culture and environment, the excitement often returns.
How should we deal with culture shock?
• Keep an open mind. As you learn about a new country, it is necessary.
• Make an effort to learn the local language.
• Make sure you get to know people in your new environment.
• Finally, have a sense of humor. This is very important! Don't be too hard on yourself if you make a cultural mistake. Laugh at yourself and others will laugh with you.

(2024长沙一模改编)
International travel is popular, but visitors can run into trouble if they don't know any basic "rules". 5.
BRAZIL
In general, Brazilian culture is informal (不拘礼节的). Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it's important to greet people you meet. Women often kiss on the cheek, but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. 6.
If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person's appearance can be very important to Brazilians.
SAUDI ARABIA(沙特阿拉伯)
Saudi Arabia is a very traditional country. People respect the old and take good care of the young. It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations, but men and women do not touch in public.
