V Reading ComprehensionCulture shock is a term often used to describe the nervousness and feelings of surprise and confusion felt when people have to live in an entirely different culture. The term was introduced for the first time in 1954 by Kalvero Oberg, who noticed that great culture shock often contains three stages.The first stage is known as the “Honeymoon” stage. During this period, the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic light, and felt wonderful and new. For example, a person might enjoy all of the new foods, sights, and sounds that they come across. This feeling, however, does not usually last, and the following “Everything is awful” stage will soon start. After living in the new culture for a period of time, the person begins to find the differences between the old and new culture frustrating. A person may start to miss food from home and be annoyed by the brand-new life style without familiar habits and old solutions to problems.But things will start to go right. The last stage is the “Everything is OK” stage. After struggling for some time, a person will get used to the differences and begin to develop new routines. The person may spend some time being with native people, learning to enjoy the customs as the native do. The person even begins to wake up at the same time, eat the same food, and live the same day as the native do, for example.One day when people return to their home countries, even though the situation is reverse, they will still suffer from culture shock. They will also need to pass through the three stages to get used to their home countries.
