Exercise 9. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Modern
life is characterized not only by the conveniences made possible by
technological advances but also by greater mobility in search of still greater
opportunities. These major life changes, however, expose individuals to many novelties in a new culture, which are
the causes of culture shock. Culture shock is a process through which most
people who enter a new culture pass through before they adjust to life in their
new environment.
Culture
shock 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.
Unfortunately, the second stage "rejection stage" can be quite
dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits (smoking and
drinking). This can lead to the person getting sick or developing skin
infections or rashes, which then makes the person feel even more scared and
confused and helpless. This stage is considered a crisis in the process of
cultural adjustment and many people choose to go back to their homeland or spend all their time with
people from their own culture speaking their native language. The third stage
of culture shock is called the "adjustment stage”. This is when you begin
to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. You are becoming stronger by learning to take care of
yourself in the new place. The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”.
Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most
problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you
know you are strong enough to deal with them. The last stage of culture shock,
which many people don't know about, is called "reverse culture shock”.
Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that
you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away.
Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!
118. Which sentence
best explains the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. Culture shock, experienced by
people living in a new culture, consists of five basic stages.
B.
People immigrate to other countries in search of better opportunities.
C.
Modern life is characterized by many technological advances and greater mobility.
D.
These major life changes are the causes of culture shock.
119. It is stated
that the "honeymoon stage”
____.
A.
is involved in developing healthy habits
B.
is exciting with the new sights, sounds, language and foods
C. is the initial period of culture
shock
D.
got its name because everything is new and exciting for the newcomer
120. In paragraph 1,
the word novelties probably means ____.
A. things which are new or
unusual B. things which are
difficult to deal with
C.
things which have to do with novels D.
things which are very young or recent in age
121. In paragraph 2,
the word host probably means ____.
A.
the dominant country B. the largest country
C.
the newcomer's native country D. the receiving country
122. Which of the
following is NOT true according the passage?
A. At forth stage, newcomers
have overcome all problems in the new culture.
B.
Immigrants may suffer from "reverse culture shock” when going back to
native culture.
C.
New arrivals in the second stage, "reject” the new culture by returning to
their country or binding even more with other people from their culture.
D.
The "rejection stage” is the most difficult stage in the process of
cultural adjustment.
Exercise 10. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
In
the Native American Navajo nation which sprawls across four states in the
American south-west, the native language is dying. Most of its speakers are
middle-age or elderly. Although many students take classes in Navajo, the
schools are run in English. Street sign, supermarket goods and even their own
newspaper are all in English. Not surprisingly, linguists doubt that any native
speakers of Navajo will remain in a hundred years' time.
Navajo
is far from alone. Half the world's 6,800 languages are likely to vanish within
two generations - that's one language lost every ten days. Never before has the
planet's linguistic diversity shrunk at such a pace. Isolation breeds
linguistic diversity as a result, the world is peppered with languages spoken by only a few people. Only 250
languages have more than a million speakers, and at least 3,000 have fewer than
2,500. It is not necessarily these small languages that are about to disappear.
Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers.
What
makes a language endangered is not that the number of speakers, but how old
they are. If it is spoken by children it is relatively safe. The critically
endangered languages are those that are only spoken by the elderly, according
to Michael Krauss, director of the Alaska Native Language Center, in Fairbanks.
Why
do people reject the language of their parent? It begins with a crisis of
confidence, when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier
society, says Nicholas Ostler of Britain's Foundation for Endangered Languages,
in Bath. “People lose faith in their culture” he says. "When the next
generation reaches their teens, they might not want to be induced into the old
tradition.” The change is not always voluntary. Quite often, governments try to
kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its
use in school, all to promote national unity. The former US policy of running
Indian reservation in English, for example, effectively put languages such as
Navajo on the danger list. But Salikoko Mufwene, who chairs the Linguistics
Department at the University of Chicago, argues that the deadliest weapon is
not government policy but economic globalisation. "Native Americans have
not lost pride in their language, but they have had to adapt to socio-economic
pressures" he says. “They cannot refuse to speak English if most
commercial activity is in English."
However,
a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direct predictions from
coming true. ‘The key to fostering diversity is for people to learn their ancestral tongue, as well
as the dominant language' says Doug Whalen, founder and president of the
Endangered Language Fund in New Haven, Connecticut. “Most of these will ive without a large degree
of bilingualism” he says.
123. It is stated in
the passage that the number of endangered languages is ____.
A. about 3,200 B. about 6,800 C. at least
3,000 D. fewer than 2,500
124. The word peppered in paragraph 2 is closest in
meaning to ____.
A.
randomly separated B. slowly attacked
C. sparsely distributed D. unintentionally controlled
125. According to the
passage, endangered languages cannot be saved unless people ____.
A.
avoid speaking their dominant language B.
grow interest in cultural identities
C. know more than one language D. write in their mother tongue
126. Who thinks that
a change of language may mean a loss of traditional culture?
A.
Doug Whalen B. Michael Krauss C. Nicholas Ostler D. Salikoko Mufwene
127. The word these in paragraph 5 refers to ____.
A. ancestral tongue B. dominant language
C.
growing interest in cultural identity D. the key to fostering diversity
128. Navajo language
is considered being endangered language because ____.
A. it currently has too few
speakers
B.
it is spoken by too many elderly and middle-aged speakers
C.
it was banned in publicity by the former US policy
D.
many young people refuse to learn to speak it
129. Which statement
is NOT supported by the information in the passage?

A large number of native speakers fail to guarantee the survival of a language.
B. National governments could do
more to protect endangered languages.
C.
The loss of linguistic diversity is inevitable.
D.
Young people often reject the established way of life in their community.
