    Third-Culture Kids

    Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!

    The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 1. About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.

    2. In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 3. While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.

    For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 4. She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.

    While a third-culture kid must let go of his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized(理想化的) image children have of “home”. 5.

    As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.

    A. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.

    B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.

    C. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.

    D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.

    E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.

    F. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.

    G. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.

    Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

    I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

    I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

    Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership — a shop selling cars — was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

    "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

    "Thank you" — two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

    D. He called his friend for help.

    4.The battery of the author’s car was dead because ________.

    A. something went wrong with the lights

    B. the meeting lasted a whole day

    阅读理解。

    You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

    Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

    Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.

    When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down．

    Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.

    Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．

    1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

    A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidence

    C. describe a daily sceneD. introduce a topic

    2.How can negative people affect us?

    A. By changing our ways of thinking.

    B. By telling us the nature of life.

    C. By influencing our emotion.

    D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.

    3.Some negative people base their happiness on ________.

    A. making other people unhappy

    B. other people’s pity for them

    C. building up a positive attitude

    D. other people’s respect for them

    4.According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ________.

    A. change negative people’s attitudes to life

    B. communicate with negative people as little as possible

    C. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves

    D. show our dissatisfaction to negative people

    Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted, new research suggests.

    In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.

    The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.

    It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children’s eyesight, the researchers said. However, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine(多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain（抑制） the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.

    Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, it’s important to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.

    1.What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?

    A. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities.

    B. Continue to do their usual activities.

    C. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises.

    D. Participate in outdoor activities with parents.

    2.What can be inferred about the chemical dopamine?

    A. It can contribute to poor sight. B. It can damage people’s brain

    C. It is beneficial to eyesight. D. It means low levels of light intensity.

    3.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

    A. How to design outdoor activities for kids.

    B. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.

    C. How to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light.

    D. How to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities.

    4.Which can serve as the best title for the passage?

    A. The More Time Outdoors, the Better

    B. Kids May See Better if They Play Outside

    C. It’s Time to Engage Kids in Outdoor Activities

    D. Researchers Found a Cure for Nearsightedness
