  But a visit to Athens is more than a lesson in ancient history. Modern Athens hums with activity. The city offers every modern convenience. One thing that hasn't changed since ancient times, though, is Greek hospitality. Ancient Greeks believed that a stranger might be a god in disguise. Therefore, they always treated strangers kindly. 全欧洲只有这个地方的人,会邀请一个完全陌生的人到家里喝咖啡或吃晚饭。

  单词提示:

  Athens n.雅典(希腊首都);hum v. [俗]活跃起来

  答案:Nowhere else in Europe will you find people who invite complete strangers to their homes for coffee or dinner.

  本句节选自《SPOTLIGHT ON ATHENS》

  Now, your idea of a friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you! 无论我们走到哪儿,无论我们干什么,不要忘记是谁帮助我们到达那里!

  答案:No matter where we go or who we become, never forget who helped us get there.
