There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the
9、 first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to (适应) their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more. There are some

27、be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers(天文学家) do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.
