Here is how culture shock can __21__.
When you first arrives in a foreign country, you will probably be excited about living in a new place, meeting new people and starting your new course or job. Everything will seem fresh and __22__.
After this initial __23__ wears off, all the new experiences may begin to overwhelm you. Things that you found exciting at first may now seem strange and a little __24__. Even minor differences such a being unable to buy your usual kind of soap, can __25__ to the sense of strangeness. You may experience sudden __26__ changes and strong reactions, feeling lost, disoriented, and even irritated and resentful.
Above all, you may wish you were back among the __27__ people and places at home. All international students or workers can experience culture shock in some __28__--even those coming from countries with very similar lifestyles.
So it is important to understand that this reaction of “culture shock” is entirely normal and that it will __29__. Don’t worry too much and try to look at everything different in a __30__ way. Take it easy and then you will enjoy the new environment soon.

Like a __31__ conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about __32__: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only __33__ of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly __34__ between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over __35__ things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his __36__ to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad __37__ is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is--politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg--the __38__ of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority--someone who actually knows something--and therefore to __39__ respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to __40__ that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
