       Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors（因素）in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephones, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.

       Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity. They have to build a new self-image.

       Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience — these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

What do consumers really want? That’s a question market researchers would love to answer. But since people don’t always say what they think, marketers would need direct access to consumers’ thoughts to get the truth.

    Now, in a way, that is possible. At the “Mind of the Market” laboratory at Harvard Business School, researchers are looking inside shoppers’ skulls to develop more effective advertisements and marketing styles. Using imaging techniques that measure blood flow to various parts of the brain, the Harvard team hopes to predict how consumers will react to particular products and to discover the most effective ways to present information. Stephen Kosslyn, a professor of psychology at Harvard, and business school professor Gerald Zaltman, oversee the lab. “The goal is not to influence people’s preferences,” says Kosslyn, “just to speak to their actual desires."

    The group’s findings, though still preliminary (初步的), could change how firms develop and market new products. The Harvard group use position emission tomography (PET) scans to monitor the brain activity. These PET scans, along with other imaging techniques, enable researchers to see which parts of the brain are active during specific tasks(such as remembering a word).Correlations (相互關(guān)系) have been found between blood flow to specific areas and future behavior. Because of this, Harvard researchers believe the scans can also predict future purchasing patterns. According to an unpublished paper the group produced, “It is possible to use these techniques to predict not only whether people will remember and have specific emotional reactions to certain materials, but also whether they tend to want those materials months later.”

The Harvard group is now moving into the next stage of experiments. They will explore how people remember advertisements as part of an effort to predict how they will react to a product after having seen an ad. The researchers believe that once key areas of the brain are identified, scans on about two dozen volunteers will be enough to draw conclusions about the reactions of specific sections of the population. Large corporations-including Coca Cola, Eastman Kodak, General Motors, and Hallmark-have already signed up to fund further investigations.

    For their financial support, these firms gain access to the experiments but cannot control them．If Kosslyn and Zahman and their team really can read the mind of the market, then consumers may find it even harder to get those advertising jingles-out of heir heads.

66. Which of the following statements can be the best title for this passage?

A. Reading the Mind of the Market.    

B. Influencing the Customers’ Choice.

C. Influencing the Style of Advertising.      

D. Experimenting with the Way to Foretell

67. Why do the Harvard researchers use scientific technology in the experiments?

A. Because they want to find a better way to persuade people into purchasing patterns in the future in the different market.

B. Because they don’t trust the findings already done by other researchers.

C. Because they want to see how particular products can influence consumers and find out the most effective ways to advertise.

D.Because they think the marketing strategies can actually be changed after the experiments.

68. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. People sometimes hide their true feelings when questioned by the marketing surveyors.

B. Stephen Kosslyn and Gerald Zaltman are in charge of the experiment and think ill of the study.

C. Harvard researchers have found some relation between people’s brain and future behavior.

D. Many large companies finance the Harvard group’s further investigations.

69. What does “to speak to” in the 2nd paragraph mean?

   A. To communicate with. B. To say to.     C. To talk to.      D. To respond to.

70. The last sentence of the passage implies that ___________.

A. it is very likely that customers will buy unnecessary things just depending on the ads in the future.

B. in fact, the real purpose of Harvard group’s research is to attract more consumers into the market.

C. Coca Cola or the General Motors can exploit the findings of the experiments in their own marketing.

D. Consumers may find it more difficult to get out of the advertising jungle and it may cause them headaches.

    Exercise is often said to be good for everyone．But a new study has shown that exercise could be  _21   especially for people past middle age．The study was done with mice．It showed that although mild exercise  22    a good effect on the muscles of young mice, it 23_   the muscles of mice past middle age．

The three groups of mice in the experiment were _24__ in age at young, middle-aged, and elderly humans．The mice were __25_ on a thread-mill (踏車) 30 minutes a day for a five-week period．At the end of that time, the young mice’s leg muscles had increased almost 30 percent in weight, but those of the old mice were reduced by 25 percent．No_  26_   pattern showed for the middle-aged mice．

David Gershon, an expert who carried out the experiment, explained that the older mice’ muscles were probably already  _27_  down and that exercise worsened the _28_ ．An earlier study by Gershon showed that middle-aged mice benefited from exercise if they started exercising young and continued it．

It’s clear that because the tests were done on mice, drawing conclusions about humans is too early．But the studies do not totally  _29_  the theory that exercise is good under any conditions．Let’s use the tests on mice as a _30__for other studies．
