The term culture shock, is used to describe the feeling of unease or loss you might experience when visiting or living in a country that
is not your own. You might have problems being in a place where you don’t speak the language and everyday life is quite different from
what you’re used to. Initially, this reaction—this shock—may be caused by the feeling that the foreign culture is a threat to your own
culture and identity.
Less well known, however, is the term reverse culture shock, which refers to the difficulties someone can experience on the return to
their native country after living abroad. Most people accept that culture shock is a normal part of being in a foreign country. However, it is
not so widely understood that people coming home after a stay abroad might also experience a similar kind of culture shock. Living in
another country changes you: once you’re home, you’re no longer the same person you left. With global traveling, more and more people
live abroad for longer periods of time. It is difficult to dismiss reverse culture shock as something that only happens to a handful of people.
It is clearly becoming a more common problem. 【題組】41. According to the passages, how does one feel about the culture shock?
(A) They lose their meaning of life.
