Having passed what I considered the worst obstacle, our spirits 36 , we made our way towards the left cliff, where the going was better, though 37 steeper.

After two hours of this, I realized we would have to do something to 47 being frozen to death. We stood from time to time through the snow. I had 48 the outline of a butterss (扶垛) just above us.

A
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, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another.
Culture 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 the new arrival 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 with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about. This 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!
56．When does culture shock happen？
A．When you reach your teens
B．When you move to a big city
C．When you meet foreign people for the first time
D．When you go to live in a foreign culture
57．How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock？
A．Lonely and depressed B．Bored and homesick
C．Happy and excited D．Angry and frustrated
58．How could the third stage be described？
A．Adjustment B．Rejection C．Enthusiasm D．Anger
59．Why might-reverse culture shock be a problem？
A．It hardly ever happens. B．It is extremely stressful.
C．Most people do not expect it. D．It only happens to young people.

I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro mothers who got up at 6 a.m.
to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.
I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman's clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to make deals with the rats：leave some food out for them so they wouldn't gnaw on the doors or bite the babies. The roaches, they were just like part of the family.
I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they peed. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn't soap or water back home.
I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills and cod liver oil the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night, and then go out and spent most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars rent and Momma would plead with him to wait until tomorrow. She had lost her pocketbook. The relief check was coming. The white folk had some money for her. Tomorrow I'd be hiding in the coal closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man curse my Momma and call her a liar. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white folks' house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.
60．Mother got up at 6 a.m. every day, because .
A．she had to cook breakfast for her children
B．she had to catch the first bus to the factory
C．she had to work in the white man’s house
D．she had to go to see a special baby doctor
61．Mother never told us to brush our teeth or to wash our hands because .
A．she though we didn’t need to
B．we didn’t like washing hands
C．we had done everything very well
D．there was no soap or water in our home
62．Why did the writer hide in a closet when the landowner came for rent?
A．The closet could only hold two kids.
B．Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.
C．They should pay more rent for two kids.
D．There was only one bedroom for the two kids.
63．What does the writer mainly tell us?
A．Black people lead a miserable life.
B．Black people don’t have enough rent money.
C．White people lead an expensive life.
D．White people have special baby doctors.

If you’re training for a marathon, a proper plan for water intake is important. Of course, there’s the risk of dehydration (脱水). But athletes now know they can also get into trouble by drinking too much. Too much water intake can lower levels of sodium (钠) in the blood. The death of a 28 – year – old woman following the Boston Marathon caught the attention of many runners and led to new research.
Experts advise long distance runners to replace the liquids they sweat out. Their goal is to try to keep someone from not getting dehydrated by more than 2 percent of their body weight.
One technique for deciding how much water you need is to get the exact numbers . Runners have to weigh themselves before and after a run to determine how much water they’ve lost . If their weight drops by more than 2 percent , they have not drunk enough water.
Hyponatremia occurs when runners drink so much water that blood salt levels drop off . A study published last year tested 488 runners who completed the Boston Marathon and found 13 percent of them had dangerously low blood salt levels . The first sign that runners may notice is slightly swelling in the hands . They can’t get their rings off , and then they might feel sick . They may not remember where they are . In fact , most runners get enough salt to get back to normal levels by eating just one meal after a run . Contrary to the old advice that runners should drink as much as they can to prevent dehydration , the new research has shown that the body is a remarkable machine that actually tells you via thirst when you need water .
64．The author of this passage is primarily concerned with .
A．the signs and treatment for dehydration
B．the long distance runners who need help
C．how to manage water intake during a marathon
D．a 28-year-old woman who died after a Boston Marathon
65．Why do runners have to weigh themselves before and after a run ?
A．They can improve their performance in a run .
B．They can learn how much salt there is in the blood .
C．They can know the quantity of water they’ve lost during a run .
D．They can decide what kind of water they should take during a run .
66．What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?
A．Taking much salt during a run can avoid selling in the body .
B．Either too much or too little of water intake is harmful .
C．A rich meal is helpful to our performance in a run .
D．We should take enough salt during a run .
67．According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct ?
A．Too much water intake→blood sodium levels ↓→dehydration .
B．Too much water intake→blood salt levels ↓→hyponatremia .
C．No water intake→blood sodium levels↑→hyponatremia .
D．No water intake →blood salt levels ↓→hyponatrenmia .
