Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Culture shock is an occupational disease (職業(yè)病) for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.
Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.
Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad. When foreigners in a strange land get together in complain about the host country its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.

翻譯訓(xùn)練：大學(xué)生創(chuàng)業(yè)
近年來大學(xué)生創(chuàng)業(yè)(entrepreneurship)問題越來越受到社會(huì)的關(guān)注,因?yàn)槭苓^多年教育的大學(xué)生屬于高級(jí)知識(shí)分子,他們背負(fù)著社會(huì)的種種期望。在社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮發(fā)展的同時(shí),大學(xué)生創(chuàng)業(yè)也成為新氣象。現(xiàn)代大學(xué)生有創(chuàng)新精神,有對傳統(tǒng)觀念和傳統(tǒng)行業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)的信心和欲望,而這種創(chuàng)新精神也成為大學(xué)生創(chuàng)業(yè)的動(dòng)力源泉,成為成功創(chuàng)業(yè)的信心基礎(chǔ)。大學(xué)生懷揣創(chuàng)業(yè)夢想,努力打拼,實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的理想,證明自己的價(jià)值。
PartVWriting
寫作指導(dǎo)
這是一篇描寫文(Description)。用通俗的話說，描寫文就是用文字給人物、地點(diǎn)、景物畫象。一篇描寫文主要是通過所感受的細(xì)節(jié)——所見所聞發(fā)展而來的。在寫人時(shí)，不僅僅要用細(xì)節(jié)描寫其外貌，而要注重通過他的言行來表現(xiàn)其人物性格、思想和品德，更要抓住他區(qū)別于他人的性格特點(diǎn)，這樣就容易給讀者留下深刻的印象。短文的第一、二段敘述故事發(fā)生的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)，故事發(fā)生的原因及故事所涉及的人物。文章的三、四、五段描寫的是人物的外貌，穿著及性格特點(diǎn)。通過對人物言行的簡單描寫來揭示主人翁的助人為樂的高尚精神。短文的最后一段，要用一句話概括作者對主人翁的看法：Agoodguy。文章有描述，有議論，要加敘加議，有血有肉，上下文連貫要緊密，首尾要呼應(yīng)，人和事要給人們留下深刻印象。
