阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Culture shock is a complex topic, but I'm a simple man with simple perspectives. So my experience of foreign culture boils down to three basic stages: anger, acceptance and appreciation.

When I 41 my life in China I was often filled with frustration and 42 over the way things were. Things were seen as clearly “ 43 ” and I rejected the view of there being other ways of doing things. Afterwards I came to 44 different ways of doing things 45 still saw my own ways as superior.

My views were still heavily colored by 46 and I often accepted situations I felt 47 by simply coining the phrase "That's China," 48 China was a backward country that simply didn't do things correctly. Finally, 49 , I came to understand and appreciate the new 50 and ways of doing things, sometimes using them as effectively as the 51 .

For example, fish is never 52 with the head in my country, thus my feelings went from “Ugh! I can’t eat this! The fish is 53 at me saying, `You're a 54 man.' Take this off the table,” to “I’ll let my friends enjoy, but I'll just stick with the other 55 ,” and to "Would anyone mind if I eat the eyeball?"

It is not the same with every westerner, and some take 56 than others to go through the three stages. It all depends on how 57 you are and how tightly you 58 to your own culture. It took a little over a year of living in China 59 I finally appreciate the new culture. Now, I'm more 60 in China than in my own country.
