听力原文： Culture shock can be described as the feeling of confusion and disorientation that one experiences when faced with a large number of new and unfamiliar people and situations. Many things contribute to it—smells, sounds, flavors, the very feeling of the air one is breathing. Of course, the natives' unfamiliar language and behavior. contribute to it, too. People's responses to culture shock vary greatly, from excitement and energetic action to withdrawal, depression, physical illness, and hostility. A particular individual might react to culture shock one way one day and another the next.

The notion of culture shock calls two useful points to mind. First, most people experience some degree of culture shock when they go to a new country, whether they admit it to themselves and others or not. Culture shock is more a product of the situation of being in a new culture than it is of the traveller's personal character.

Second, culture shock, like other kinds Of "shock", is normally transitory. It passes with time.

Academic analysts of the culture shock idea point out that the experience of culture shock need not be negative. While there may be some unhappiness and unpleasantness along with the confusion and disorientation, the confusion and disorientation are necessary steps in learning about a new culture. If everything in the new place is just like home, no learning will come from being there.

Every people has its own special words and expressions like the American expression "on the wagon". It means a per son who no longer drinks whisky, beer or other kinds of alcoholic drinks. The ' wagon' is a water wagon. In other words, a drinker has decided to change from alcohol to water. An Oklahoma newspaper wrote about a man who had a history of heavy drinking on America’s Fourth of July holiday. Said the newspaper, "We believed that his experience had lifted him onto the water wagon, but he was even drunker the next Fourth of July."

Why do people decide to go on the wagon? Well, usually because they are alcoholics. They lose control of themselves when they done. If they take one alcoholic drink, then they want to drink another, and another, until all thought is gone.

Alcoholism is a major social problem in countries throughout the world. The United States is no exception. Experts believe that several million Americans are alcoholics today. Their health care needs, car accidents, reduced job performance and other problems cost thousands of millions of dollars every year.

In the early 1900s, many Americans joined in a campaign to make alcohol illegal in the United States. In 1920 an a mendment was added to the Constitution. It made drinking or selling alcohol a crime. But the new law did not stop people from drinking. Criminals produced or imported alcohol illegally and sold it almost everywhere.

After a few years Americans realized the so-called Prohibition Law did not work. So in 1933 another constitutional change was made, canceling the amendment that made alcohol illegal.

In recent years Americans have taken other steps to deal with the problem of alcohol. One important action had been to increase the punishment for people who drive their automobiles after drinking alcohol. Many states now consider this to be a serious crime. Another important step has been to explain to children and students the dangers of alcohol. Many schools now offer special programmes to teach young people about the problem. Doctors have been working to develop new drugs and treatment programmes to help alcoholics. Finally, alcoholics themselves are dealing with the problem of alcoholism. Many of them have" gone on the wagon" and stopped drinking. They have joined the Alcoholics Anonymous group meeting regularly to discuss their problems and give each other support. "Going on the wagon" is not the only way to conquer alcoholism, but most alcoholic say it is the best way. They must give up alcohol completely so their own body and spirit can survive.

People decide to go on the wagon because ______.

A．they enjoy having one drink after another

B．they like the kind of drinks they get on the wagon

C．they are afraid of losing their self-control in drinking again

D．they are alcoholics and can not control themselves well
