That Unique Japanese Holiday called Christmas Christmas is such a popular holiday that it's no surprise that the Japanese celebrate it as well. To the Western person who visits Japan at the end of the year, many sights and sounds are familiar: the Santas in ads, the big display and the Christmas music in the stores, the lights on the houses, stocking stuffed with toys, and decorated trees. But look a bit closer and you begin to realize that the Japanese interpretation of Christmas is something rather different. For one thing, Christmas is more of a fun start to the holidays rather than the main event. In Japan, the most important holiday of the season is New Year's Day, which comes one week later. New Year is the big traditional holiday when family and friends get together. In fact, Christmas is not officially a holiday at all-most people have to work that day unless it happens to fall on a weekend. As a result, people celebrate on Christmas Eve. As in the West, gift-giving is a big part of the holiday, but it takes on its own character in Japan. On their big night out, romantic partners may give other jewelry. Within the family, parents may give presents to their young children, although it's usually not vice versa. The idea here is that the gifts come from Santa Clause, so it only makes sense to give them while the children are still young enough to believe in Santa. It is customary to give presents called oseibo to bosses and colleagues, to teachers, or to other people outside the immediate circle of friends and family. These gifts function as a way of showing appreciation to people who have performed some type of service for you. Christians make up only a very small part (less than two percent) of the population of Japan, so people are not very familiar with the religious roots of the holiday. Nevertheless, the Japanese have an amazing ability to import elements from other cultures and integrate them with their own culture. For example, Buddhism, the parliamentary form of government, large corporations, and the current educational system all originally came from abroad. These things are so successful in today's Japan precisely because they are no longer exactly the same as they were. Like Christmas, the Japanese made them uniquely their own. Question 26: What is similar about the Western and Japanese Christmas? A. Many people go to church. B. Santa Claus is a popular figure. C. Christmas cakes are sold everywhere. D. They don't go to work on Christmas Day. Question 27: What is the most important day of the festive season in Japan? A. New Year’s Eve B. New Year's Day C. Christmas Eve D. Christmas Day Question 28: Who might a Japanese person give oseiho to?
4. A. someone they just meet B. their best friend C. their young child D. their secretary Question 29: What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The Japanese are good at adopting and adapting traditions. B. Things need to be changed to be successful in Japan. C. The Japanese love foreign cultures. D. Christmas is not a religious holiday in Japan. Question 30: The purpose of this passage is to ______ . A. encourage people to visit Japan for Christmas B. compare Western and Japanese holidays C. explain why Christmas is so popular in Japan D. explore the concept of a Japanese Christmas ----------------------------------------------- ----------- HẾT ----------

Culture shock is the loss of emotional balance, disorientation, or confusion that a person feels when moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one. When it is a common experience, the degree to which it occurs will vary from one person to another. Individual personality, previous cross- cultural experience, and language proficiency all affect a person's ability to interact socially in the new culture. The basic cause of culture shock is the abrupt loss of all that is familiar, leading to a sense of isolation. When an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of those familiar signs and hints are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or good-willed he may be, a series of properties have been knocked from under him. This may be followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: "The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad." Another aspect of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance, and everything becomes irrationally glorified. All difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. Common symptoms of culture shock include the following extremes. These are excessive concerns over delays and other minor frustrations; fear of being cheated, robbed or injured: sleeplessness or a desire to sleep more; and a great longing to go home. Underlying all these is the uncomfortable feeling of not really belonging, of being an outsider. Question 26: Culture shock is basically caused by ______. A. being away from all that is familiar B. difficulties in using the language C. being unable to make friends D. feeling desperately homesick Question 27: According to the passage, the degree of culture shock to which one feels varies ______.

Having fear of being cheated B. Longing to go back home C. Feeling to be an outsider D. Longing to travel ----------------------------------------------- ----------- HẾT ----------
