The continuous development of our society, science and technology makes the earth a village. Distance is not a barrier of communication any more. Countries around the world are closely related. At the same time, international communications like international education and trade create lots of opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between different countries, which will result in frequent contact with people of different cultural backgrounds. Due to different values, life styles, customs and so on, people from different cultures must get over these differences to adapt themselves to the new environment. Thus, psychological and physical discomfort appears during the process of intercultural communication. People may feel upset and confused for things are not turning out as they had expected. This is the emergence of culture shock.
