Specialists（專家）say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock" is what these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment.The specialists say that there are three stages of culture shock.In the first stage，the newcomers like their new environment.Then，when the fresh experience dies，they begin to hate the city，the country，the people，and everything else.In the last stage，the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and，as a result，enjoy their life more.
   There are some evident factors（因素）in culture shock.The weather may be unpleasant.The customs may be different.The public service systems—the telephones，post office，or transportation—may be difficult to work out.The simplest things seem to be the biggest problems.The language may be difficult.
   Who feels culture shock？Everyone does in this way or that.But culture shock surprises most people.Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own country.Coming to a new country，these people find they do not have the same positions as they have back home.They find themselves without any identify.They have to build a new self-image.
    Culture shock gives rise to （使發(fā)生）a feeling of helplessness.This feeling may be homesickness.When homesick，people feel like staying inside all the time.They want to protect themselves from the strange environment，and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security （安全）.This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for a short time，but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture.Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
