16．Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they have a lot of stress in the new culture．This feeling is often called"culture shock"and it is important to learn how to deal with culture shock．First of all，you should know that everyone in a new situation will go through some form of culture shock．There are four general stages of cultural adjustment（適應）．
The first stage is usually referred to as the honeymoon stage．Upon arriving in a new environment，you'll be interested in the new culture．Everything will seem exciting，and everyone will seem friendly and helpful．
The second stage is called the withdrawal stage．The excitement that you felt before changes to frustration（沮喪） as you find it difficult to deal with new problems．The language is hard to learn； friends are hard to make； simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges．It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick．
If you are one of those who manage to stick it out （堅持下來），you will enter the third stage----the recovery stage．At this point，you'll feel more confident in the new culture．You'll start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment．
The last stage is the stability stage----this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture．At this stage，you will behave well in the new culture，and prefer some aspects（方面） of the new culture to your own culture．
There is，in a sense，a fifth stage to this process．If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture，you may experience what is called"reverse culture shock"．This means that you may find aspects of your own culture"foreign"，because you're so used to the new culture．Reverse culture shock is usually pretty mild（溫和的） and doesn't last for very long．
