I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didnt understand. Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often; earthquakes and windstorms were frequent. I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldnt speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many. Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲). I was required to overcome all the difficulties. As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy. But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others. 1. The author went to Chile last year with the purpose of ______. A. paying a visit to Chile as a tourist B. experiencing Chilean life as a teacher C. studying Chilean culture as a college student D. studying knowledge as an exchange student 【答案及解析】 1.

Because it was not convenient for him to shop there. 【答案及解析：】 解題。文章第二段提到：“It was so different from what I was used to.” 再從街道環(huán)境、購物環(huán)境、娛樂設(shè)施、自然條件等方面描寫智利比較差的生活條件，由此可知作者是因?yàn)橹抢顥l件比他原先習(xí)慣的生活差許多而產(chǎn)生恐懼心理。 3.
