There I accepted a challenge to 2 hitchhike(搭便车)with a group of English friends from my university in Birmingham to Athens with little money.For me, a 20-year-old girl, I had not done anything like this before. It was so hard on the road.We slept in the open air, ate little more than bread and cheese, and depended heavily on the help of strangers. But it helped me learn aboutEuropean society. One day, my Greek friend came to see me at the youth hostel and asked me to step outside.He was angry with me. He reminded me of my social background and asked what my parents would say if they saw me living in these conditions like these “dirty” English. After several weeks on the road, we did look tired; but his choice of the word “dirty” interested me. He was showing a historic dislike of the English that some Europeans had. In that part of Europe,both the Turks and the Greeks, who dislike each other to this day, blamed(责怪) the English for their national disasters. He ignored my explanations of having accepted the challenge of hitchhiking.He took me home and his family, especially his mother and sisters, showed me Greek hospitality(好客) at its best. My experience in Greece could not have differed more from the situation facing Pakistanis―and others seeking shelter ―in Greece today.On recent visits to Greece in connection with my study on Islam in Europe, I saw the trouble of the refugees(难民). Some said that they had been physically beaten. However, there are good stories of ordinary Greeks giving shelter to some hopeless refugees. The sense of Greek hospitality that I experienced as a student does exist. 31.What was the author's purpose of taking a trip to Greece in the 1960s? A.To visit a friend in Greece. B.To complete a challenge bravely. C.To learn how to hitchhike to other countries. D.To increase her knowledge about European society. 32.What did the author find during her recent visits to Greece? A.Many Greeks lived a very bad life. B.The country hadn’t changed much. C.Some refugees were badly treated. D.Many people were leaving the country. 33.What does the author want to show by giving the example in the last paragraph? A.Many Greek people still love helping others. B.Many people in Greece need help. C.Greece is a safe country for refugees. D.Helping others is very important. B 3 At a bright new building in Landover, Maryland, students are getting a crash course(速成课), in which they are learning how to spend,save and look after their money responsibly. Tuesday marked the grand opening of the newest Junior Achievement Finance Park, where eighth-graders from Prince George’s County schools will use tablet computers to practice personal finance skills they have learned in class. An international study last year clearly showed that more than 1 in 6 U. S. teens is unable to make simple choices about how to spend their money. The center, a mini city of stores, was created by Prince George’s County schools, Capital One Bank and Junior Achievement of Greater Washington. In fact the first Washington-area Finance Park opened in Fairfax County, Virginia, five years ago. Altogether there are 17 finance parks nationwide, and one is planned to open in Montgomery County, Maryland. Before coming to a finance park, students have lessons on how to save and invest, how to read a bank statement and how to make sense of debit (借记) credit cards. They put their skills and to the test when they walk inside. Students are given a career, salary, debt and family situation, and then they are required to have to put together a monthly budget (预算). Budgeting can be tricky. Students need to figure out how much to spend on groceries, rent, transportation and even entertainment. They shop with virtual (虚拟的)money,making a change in their budgets according to different situations they may go into. When asked about the practice,LaChelle King,a teacher at Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie, said the center was exciting and surprising for her students. One of the kids said, " Now I know why my mom gets mad at me when I ask her to buy me things!" 34 . In the crash course,students learn to A.
