Câu hỏi:

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

[I] Psychologists identify four basic stages that people experience when adapting to a new culture. [II] This process helps us cope with culture shock and how our minds and personalities respond to unfamiliar situations. [III] For example, if we are used to bowing when greeting someone, we might feel awkward in a culture that does not bow. [IV]

The first stage is the "honeymoon stage." When we first arrive in a new culture, everything seems exciting and strange. Even if we feel tired from travel, we enjoy exploring new sights, sounds, and foods. This stage can last a long time because it feels like an adventure.

The second stage can be tough. After settling into our new lives-working, studying, or living with a host family-we may start to miss home and our loved ones. Small problems can feel more significant in a foreign culture. This "rejection stage" can lead some people to develop unhealthy habits or feel confused and helpless. Some might consider going back home or only spending time with people from their own culture.

The third stage is called the "adjustment stage." Here, we begin to see that the new culture isn't so bad. We start to handle challenges better and feel more capable of taking care of ourselves.

The fourth stage is "at ease at last." By now, we feel comfortable in the new environment and can manage most problems. We might still struggle with the language, but we know we can handle it. If we meet newcomers from our home country, we can share our experiences and help them.

Finally, there's a fifth stage known as "reverse culture shock." This happens when we return to our home culture and realize that both we and our surroundings have changed. This can make us feel awkward and struggle to adjust back to life at home.
