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.   36    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.

     37  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.   38  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.  39   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”.   40  

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.

第二節(jié)（共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分）

閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個單詞）或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

Children do not think the way adults do. For most of   61   first year of life, if something is out of sight, it is out of mind.   62   you cover a baby’s favorite toy with a piece of cloth, the baby thinks the toy has disappeared and stops   63   (look) for it. A 4-year-old may object that his/her sister has   64  (much) fruit juice when it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the amount of juice.

Yet children are smart   65   their own way. Like good little scientists, children are always testing their child-sized theories about   66   things work. When your child throws her spoon on the floor for the sixth time as you try to feed her, and you say, “That’s enough! I will not pick up your spoon again!” the child will   67   (immediate) test your claim. Are you serious? Are you   68  (annoy)? What will happen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you crazy; rather, she   69  (learn) that her desires and yours can differ, and that sometimes those   70  (differ) are important and sometimes they are not.

Dear editor,

I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic. Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some advices.

For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For other, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, that can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is what the number of private cars should be put under the control. Meanwhile, buses should have its own special routes which cannot be using by other vehicles. Therefore, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.

I do hope my suggestions will be taken.

Yours,Li Hua
