Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions that follow

Almost everyone who studies, lives or works abroad has problems adjusting to a new

culture. This response is commonly referred to as ‘culture shock’. Culture shock can be

defined as ‘the physical and emotional discomfort a person experiences when entering a

culture different from their own’.

For people moving to Australia, Price (2001) has identified certain values which may

give rise to culture shock. Firstly, he argues that Australians place a high value on

independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell

students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out

which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take

action if something goes wrong and seek our resources and support for themselves.

Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing

there is one truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to

form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for

it.

Price also comments that Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status

and hence idealize the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most

adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means

that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to

joke about themselves.

Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As

a consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing

nothing but study.

Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance

and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such

information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly

established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With

older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they

do not have children.

13. We can infer from paragraph 2 that ____.

A. Australian teachers will suggest alternatives to students rather than offer one

solution.

B. In Australia, teachers will show interest in students’ personal circumstances.

C. Australian teachers will take action if something goes wrong with their students.

D. In Australia, students are expected to offer some resources for teachers to

support.

A. teacher B. students C. circumstances D. options

A. so that they are ready to joke about themselves.

B. so that everyone feels their status is similar.

D. because first names are more serious.
