Many international students studying abroad in America have several supposed ideas about American culture.After visiting the country,many international students showed the culture shock they received in America.Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across.
It’s surprising to note that children,young people and adults all refer to each other with their first names.This is a very uncommon sight.Many international students might find it surprising and take time to adapt to this tradition.
Another culture shock is that,in America,there could be only one or two classes a day.
Usually,they’re conducted in the afternoon or in the evening.This means the students get enough time to sleep late,wake up around noon and have time for different chores(琐事).
Besides having convenience in the schedule of classes,students also enjoy long hours of breaks.
Among the many culture shocks in America,multiple languages are quite common there.
Many international students would move to America,believing that the only language is English.However,that’s not the case.The citizens commonly speak languages such as Spanish,
French,German,and Chinese.So if you’re familiar with any of the above-mentioned languages,
you might get surprises.
Many international students are used to using kilograms,metres,litres,degrees centigrade as the units of weight,length,volume,temperature,But they might be perplexed to see a different metric system in America.There,pounds,feet and Fahrenheit are usually used as units of measurement.This system is quite puzzling to comprehend in the beginning for many international students.
Many international students might find various culture shocks in America depending on the background they come from.Thus,they may need a long time to adapt themselves to the unfamiliar environment.

With a thirst for a new challenge,I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.Since starting to learn,I have made good progress.The Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) is a test of Chinese language for non-native speakers.In July 2020,I passed my HSK3 exam with a score of 100 percent.I am now almost ready to start HSK5.
Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought.When I speak to native speakers in Chinese,they almost always understand me.I also find it not too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters.I find studying the language relaxing and worthwhile,particularly writing the characters.The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed.I can’t always understand what’s been said,but my weekly online language exchanges help with this greatly.
Despite my progress,it has still been the challenge I desire and has taken a lot of hard work.Furthermore,there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency.The key to progress is to be patient and persistent(坚持不懈的).The satisfaction that comes from simple things like ordering food in Chinese,buying things on the Internet or communicating with a taxi driver makes all the hard work worth it.
My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only doable but can also be enjoyable.Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life,but deepened my cultural understanding of such a colourful and beautiful country.Considering where I am now,
compared to two years ago,as long as I keep studying hard,I can image a time when I’ll be able to read famous Chinese novels not in English but in the original text.So,to all my non-Chinese friends,I always say “Don’t give up.Embrace (拥抱) the challenge.”
( )5.Which one is the most difficult for the author
[A] Writing characters.
[B] Taking part in HSK exams.
[C] Listening to the native speaking.
[D] Speaking to a taxi driver.
( )6.What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in Paragraph 2 mean
[A] Easy to upset.
[B] Possible to change.
[C] Comfortable to study.
[D] Hard to overcome.
( )7.Why does the author think learning Chinese is satisfying
[A] It can make the author proud.
[B] It makes the author know more Chinese.
[C] It can be useful in daily life.
[D] It makes the author more competitive.
( )8.Which can be a suitable title for the text
[A] Passing Exams Isn’t a Piece of Cake

【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了联合国设立语言日的背景和目的,并重点讲述了中文语言日的重要作用以及中文日益增长的影响力。
1.【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句谓语为was,空处为非谓语动词,应用动词不定式作目的状语,与to promote并列。故填to celebrate。
2.【解析】 考查名词复数。根据空前的“all six”可知,空处应用tongue(语言)的复数形式。故填tongues。
3.【解析】 考查连词。“the carrier of communication”“the bridge of interaction between nations”和“the bond of understanding among civilizations”是并列关系,共同阐述语言的作用。故填and。
4.【解析】 考查形容词。空处修饰名词forms,应用形容词written作前置定语,written forms意为“书写形式”。故填written。
5.【解析】 考查动词语态。主语Every language与动词treat构成被动关系,应用be treated表被动,且空处位于情态动词should后。故填be treated。
6.【解析】 考查介词。固定短语provide sth for sb/sth,意为“为某人/某物提供某物”。故填for。
7.【解析】 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处是由“not only...but also...”连接的并列谓语,时态应用一般现在时,且主语The UN Chinese Language Day为单数,因此空处应用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填promotes。
8.【解析】 考查非谓语动词。空处作介词in的宾语,应用其动名词形式。故填improving。
9.【解析】 考查冠词。固定短语the rest of...意为“……的其余部分”。故填the。
10.【解析】 考查名词。空处作介词through的宾语,应用其名词形式,意为“创新”。故填innovation。
