Culture shock isn't a clinical term or medical conditions. It's simply a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a different culture. 1 . That can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming(不可抗拒的).
Everyone feels the pressure to fit in at one time or another—whether they've lived in the area for days or years. But don't feel like you need to change everything about yourself so you can stand out less. 2 .
Here are a few tips for making sure your new culture doesn't overpower the old:
Educate people about your culture. That you're the one entering the new culture doesn't mean you should be the one doing all the learning. 3 . They may know little about it. It will also help them to learn more about you in the process.
Find a support group. Find kids in your class or neighbours who recently moved, too. You can share experience.
4 . You probably left behind good friends and family when you moved. If it's going to be a long time until your next visit, keep in touch. You also left behind other things—like your favourite spot to hang out. Keep pictures around to remind you of your home.
Remember, it's important to be yourself. 5 . You will have your own pace of adjusting. As long as you find a good combination between the old and the new, you'll be fine.
A.Keep in touch with your home
B.Understand the new culture
C.But the good news is that culture shock is temporary
D.When you move to a new place, you're bound to face a lot of changes
E.Try not to force yourself to change too fast or too many things all at once
F.All of your experiences before you came to your new home are part of you
G.Take the opportunity to teach classmates and new friends about your culture

There were many famous poets from different eras in Chinese history, and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today.
To arouse people's interest in those classic Chinese poems and promote cultural heritage, China Central Television (CCTV) produced a TV show—the Chinese Poetry Competition. The finale (终场) of the hit show's second season was shown on Feb. 7.
Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode (一集), Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing”. The game's theme was “yue”, meaning “moon” or “month” in Chinese. She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China:“In July, the crickets (蟋蟀) are in the field.In August, they are in the yard. In September, they are at the door. In October, they enter and crawl under our beds.”
“I really admire her knowledge of poems,” said Huang Zijin, 16, a Senior 2 student from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang Province.“The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She fulfills all my fantasies about classic Chinese women's talents. What's more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual for her age.”
As the old saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.”
“Learning poems isn't about winning or losing.The power of poetry lies in shaping one's view of life and developing one's inner world,” said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competition's second season.
When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show's academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (美学的) and emotional sides, and guide the students to lose themselves in the poems' rhythmic(有节奏的) and rhyming lines.
“Although the amount of ancient Chinese poetry in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for exams,” Li Dingguang told China..“Therefore, it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry.”

A.To entertain people by enjoying Chinese poems.
B.To see who can recite the most classic Chinese poems.
C.To fulfill people's fantasies about Chinese women's talents.

A.She is a talented and elegant Chinese teenager.
B.She has learned a large amount of poetry from textbooks.
C.She is always calm in the show like other competitors of her age.
D.She amazed the audience with the lines from the Classic of Poetry in the finale.
3.According to Li Bo, why do people learn poetry
A.To get good marks in examinations.
B.To help build up their inner world.

Last Christmas my older sister Jane got a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) she had requested. I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped.
Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing, I finally made it.
One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I'm not always the best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should mess up.
My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster.
Paragraph 1:
I was both nervous and excited when it was my turn.
Paragraph 2:
When I got home, I couldn't wait to check my mobile phone left at home.

Paragraph 1:
I was both nervous and excited when it was my turn. I had a deep breath and then rode my unicycle towards the stage. When I heard the music, I started to put the hula hoop in my neck. Carefully, I moved it down to my stomach. Everything seemed good. The audience applauded for me when the hula hoop was about to my knees. And then, an unlucky thing happened. I didn t ride backwards firmly so I tumbled. At that moment I felt my heart was broken. However, after a very short rest, I stood up with my red face. I tried again and finally, I made it. Seeing this, all the audience cheered and applauded happily.
Paragraph 2:
When I got home, I couldn t wait to check my mobile phone left at home. My deskmate Mary sent the performance video to me and expressed that she was so proud of me. There were also many messages from my classmates and teachers, which encouraged me a lot. Not only could I challenge myself, but also I helped my school raise money for charity in this performance.Unit 5Poems同步巩固练-part 2

When writing a baby poem, you do not have to write like Shakespeare, and you just have to be sincere. Years later when the baby has grown,think of how special they will feel knowing the words were just for them.

Watch a theater or movie version of the play. You can access some versions of the plays on as a teacher. As a student, look on the Internet Movie Database for a comprehensive list of productions. 5

A qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright (剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story.
When Chekhov entered the Medical School of Moscow University in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
As a writer he was extremely fast—often produced a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov's medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference many of his characters show to tragic (悲惨的) events. In 1892,he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of civilians in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov's stories and plays.He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov's works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity of an artist.
Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories,“The Man in a Shell”,about a school teacher's extraordinarily orderly life was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.

Long ago,poems were recited loud instead of being written down. Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
Now,poetry competitions have been revived (恢复). This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest,performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prize money.
The first competitions were held in classrooms. The winners went on to school-wide contests, and then they competed in city and state competitions. Finally, the 50 state champions,along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington D.C.last week for the last showdown. After the 51 champions competed against one another, 12 went on to the finals. Then the field was narrowed to five. The final five had one last chance to “perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson Hille, a high school senior from Ohio, won a $20,000 scholarship. The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud, because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.
It's not just a matter of saying the words in the right order. It's the tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life. “Each time we hear somebody recite a poem, we understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it,” said National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott Simon, master of ceremonies for the finals. Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listeners.
Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience, but memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants (选手) understand those poems in a new way.
