Pygmalion*閱讀理解。Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a lifechanging adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday.They dont mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they bee frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings bee a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overe it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文。許多人因為喜歡冒險和探索，所以移居國外生活，但文化的差異和語言的不同又使得他們很沮喪，因此作者建議移居國外的人最好能夠學好當?shù)卣Z言以適應當?shù)厣睢?Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?AThey find foreign living much easier.BThey have the necessary language skills.CThey love the adventure and exploration.DThey enjoy meeting people from different cultures.C解析：細節(jié)理解題。該題問的是移居海外的人最初感到興奮的原因。根據(jù)The honeymoon period部分第一、二句可知，因為他們喜歡冒險和探索，所以會感到興奮。故選C。2According to the author，what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?AHomesickness.BCulture shock.CHealth problems.DLack of employment.B解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Trouble in paradise部分第二句以及聯(lián)系本段內(nèi)容可知，許多移居海外的人面臨的主要問題是文化沖擊。故選B。3What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?AStudy the local language.BGo on holidays frequently.CLearn how to open a bank account.DSeek out people from their home country.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)The road to recovery部分第二句以及最后一段可知， 作者建議移居海外的人學習當?shù)氐恼Z言，這樣才能夠適應海外的生活。故選A。*語法填空。Also_1_(know) as “paper paintings” and “painted pictures”， New Year paintings are _2_ unique art form in Chinese folk culture.
