Passage 1
The term \is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a \price\may signify anger.

Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady（弊病）, future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature (提前的) arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.
