On a BA flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged South African lady found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating.

“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” Asked the attendant.

“Can’t you see?” She said, “You’ve sat me next to a black. I can’t possibly sit next to this dirty disgusting human. Find me another seat!”

“Please calm down, Madam,” the attendant replied, “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do—I’ll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.”

A few minutes later, the attendant returned with the good news, which she delivered to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin.

“Madam, unfortunately, as I guessed, economy is full. I’ve spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class.”

Before the lady had a chance to answer, the attendant continued.

“It’s most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, according to this special situation, the captain felt that it was unbelievable that someone should be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious(討厭的) person.”

Having said that, the attendant turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you.”

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of    31  . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged   32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the   33  of a friend. Then count the occasions   34  you indicated clearly and truly that you were   35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it?

I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of   39 : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No   40  cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “  41  you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some   42 , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been   43  his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (繼承權(quán)). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother   44  forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good   45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man   46  crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m   47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it   48 . If you can think of someone who   49  an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it   50 .

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.This process begins with the “honeymoon stage”.This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting.We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.

Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult.After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets.All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture.This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.

The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”.This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture.Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place.Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!

The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”.Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings.You can cope(deal) with most problems that occur.You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

1.This passage mainly talks about ________.

A.culture and foreign language learning

B.a(chǎn)dventures in a foreign land

C.getting used to a new culture

D.the interaction of different cultures

2.Which of the following best describes the first stage?

A.Lonely and depressed

B.Bored and homesick

C.Happy and excited

D.Angry and frustrated

3.According to the passage, people are most likely to return to their own culture at the ________stage.

A.1st

B.2nd

C.third

D.fourth

4.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A.people feel better in their own culture

B.it is not easy to adapt to a new culture

C.culture shock doesn’t occur at the beginning

Imagine living locked inside a closet.You can’t choose when and what to eat or how you will spend your time.You can’t even decide when the lights go on and off. Think about spending your whole life like this.

This is the life of lab animals.

Now consider the needs of these animals.Chimpanzees(黑猩猩),in their natural homes,are never separated from their families.They spend hours together every day.But in a lab,chimpanzees are put in cages alone.There are no families,only cold,hard cages,and loneliness that goes on for so many years that most of them lose their minds at last.

Worse yet are the experiments.Animals are given diseases they would never normally get.Experimenters force-feed(給……強(qiáng)行喂食) chemicals to them,conduct repeated surgeries(手術(shù)),and much more,Think of what it would be like to put up with these and then be thrown back into a cage,usually without any painkillers.Often animals see other animals being killed right in front of them.

Hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned,blinded,and killed every year in product tests for shampoos,skin creams and new cancer drugs.Although more than 500 companies have stopped testing on animals,some of them still force chemicals into monkeys’ stomachs and rabbits’ eyes.

Although some facilities are better than others at caring for animals—not every lab worker kills a mouse by cutting off its head with scissors—there are no happy animals inside laboratories.Will the lab life end? When will it end?
