V. Reading:
A. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
Culture shock is caused by the stress of being in a new culture and having to adapt to a new
environment. Although culture shock is uncomfortable, it is a normal part of the adjustment process.
There are however a number of ways to help reduce its effects:

- Be aware of the signs. One you realize you are experiencing culture shock you can take steps to
deal with it. Remember your feelings are normal and many other students around you- both UK and
non-UK will be feeling the same way you are.
- Try to find out information about parts of the culture which seem strange to you. Don’t be afraid to
ask questions. For example, behavior which may seem rude to you may not be intended to be rude.
Polite customs are different in each culture, so when situations seem difficult to understand,
remember that people may be following social rules that are unknown to you.
- Drink plenty of water, eat well and exercise regularly. These help to reduce stress.
- Relax- we all misunderstand things sometimes, so don’t feel bad if this happens to you. Just try
and move on and try to think of it as a learning experience.
- Look for ways to do things which you enjoyed doing in your home country: Perhaps join a society.
Find out more details from Lancaster University’s Student Union.
- Develop friendships with both UK students and students from your own country. At times the
friendships with culturally different people may seem hard to maintain but can be a good way of
understanding other cultures. It is also important to spend time with people from a similar culture so
you can help each other during any difficult times.
- Make sure you have a few familiar things around you, such as photographs, posters or ornaments.
This can be very comforting, especially in the first few weeks.
- Find a nearby local food store. Ask other students where they shop, or contact Student Services for
advice. Eating a good and balanced meal will help you stay healthy.

Finally, remember that most people will experience culture shock in one form or another. Don’t feel
that that it is a sign that you have made a mistake, or that you are not performing well enough. The
symptoms will go away soon and you will find that it has been a useful learning experience for
you, whether you intend to return to your home country or stay for some time in the UK.

 A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (46) ______ between husband
and wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules (47)___ one parent is always
home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying
to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may
also share household duties. Some fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner,
changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family expenses and the father becomes the
“househusband", but these cases are still quite rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers
seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey, 41% of the children said they
spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one of our most (48) ______ cultural
changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the Parent Child Center at the New York
Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic
difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (49)
______ around kids' lives.”
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare task. The number of people who
work from home (50)___ by 23% from the last decade. Technology - computers, faxes,
teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new
flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the well-being of children? Only time will
tell.
