A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.
At 5:30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room（更衣室）．My 1 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 2 with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.
Approaching my locker（衣物柜）, I noticed my teammates 3 ．Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 4 it were a film of the opposing team’s play．Some seemed a bit more 5 , using the time to tell jokes．A few stared at the field, 6 what will happen in 120 minutes.
Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock．He told the team how 7 this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School．His words gave the team impulse（沖動）it needed to 8 .
At 7:10 pm, warm – ups finished, we went over the game 9 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours．The sound of the national anthem（國歌） 10 that we were only minutes from the action．Our coach usually made a final 11 ．But tonight was different．On this clear night he 12 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even 13 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 14 our way out of the door.
Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 15 of our school’s winning tradition．When I smiled and 16 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.
Seconds later, the team ran onto the 17 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium．We enjoyed a noisy 18 from fans and the fight song played by our school band．Breathing in the 19 of one of the biggest games of the year, I felt we were sure to win．I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and 20 that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football．

Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.
There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephones, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity. They have to build a new self-image.
Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation （迷失方向）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience — these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
41. When people move to a new country, they _______.
A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty
B. have well prepared for the new surroundings
C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly
D. will never be familiar with the culture of the country
42. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except __________.
A. language communication B. weather conditions and customs
C. public service systems D. homesickness
43. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _______.
A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad
B. the more difficulties you may have abroad
C. the more money you will earn abroad
D. the less homesick you may feel abroad
44. When people are homesick, they tend to ______.
A. find some people to talk to B. go outside to have a walk
C. visit their friends far away D. stay indoors all the time
45. The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to ______.
A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment
B. develop a strange sense of self-protection
C. get familiar with new culture
D. return to our own country

Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape(風景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(攝影術) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because_______ .
A. they are close in style to works in ancient times
B. they look like works by 19th-century painters
C. they draw attention to common things in life
D. they depend heavily on color photography
What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?
A. It will not be found in future works of art.
B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D. It is lacking in modern works of art.
What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?
A. They express people's curiosity about the past.
B. They make people interested in everyday experience.
C. They are considered important for variety in form.
D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people.
