【推荐3】Athens: More than a Summer Holiday Destination
While the Greek islands are popular for summer holidays, Athens is a year-round destination. So even if you’re flying to Greece just for the island sun, here are a few reasons to spend time in the capital too!
The Acropolis
Even if you’re not a fan of history, some of the ancient sites you just have to visit — and this is probably the most famous one in Athens. The Acropolis is an ancient city at the top of a hill, and here you’ll see the Parthenon, a temple built almost 2,500 years ago. It’s worth climbing up, too, for the views — of the sea, mountains and Lycabettus Hill rising up between the city’s apartment buildings.
The streets of Plaka and Monastiraki
If you still have energy after climbing the Acropolis, take a walk around the nearby area. Yellow and white buildings look down on the smooth stone streets of the area known as Plaka. Stop at the gift shops or take a break from the sun with a Greek coffee or a traditional meal in one of the local restaurants — or tavernas. Walk on and you’ll soon find yourself in the narrower streets of Monastiraki with its flea markets on all sides, giving you a real Greek experience.
Panathenaic Stadium
Close to the center of town and not far from the National Garden is the ancient Panathenaic Stadium, which was restored for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. It’s also the place where the Athens marathon finishes every year, so if you like running, you too could feel like an Olympic winner!
The coast
When you’re in the center of Athens, it doesn’t feel much like a coastal city, but the sea is just a few minutes’ drive away. The beaches get better the further south you go, or you can walk by the boats in the shadow of the stylish new opera house.
1. Which of the following places is a must-go if you want to see ancient relics?| A．The Plaka. | B．The Acropolis. | C．Panathenaic. | D．Monastiraki. |
| A．Gifts shops and Greek café with traditional meals. |
| B．Narrow streets with local restaurants and souvenir stores. |
| C．An outdoor market where second-hand goods are sold at low prices. |
| D．Yellow and white buildings looking down on the smooth stone streets. |
| A．In the city center of Athens | B．Opposite the new opera house. |
| C．Driving away from the country | D．Going south from the city center. |

【推荐2】The chance of a snowy holiday season in most American cities is practically impossible this year, so any festive atmosphere to be enjoyed will have to be the imaginary sort. Luckily, there are books for that.
The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen
Any reader of fairy tales knows Andersen’s responsible for the snowy scenes in "The Snow Queen", the story of children Kai and Gerda, who must face the goddess-like woman who controls all snowflakes after Kai is kidnapped.
Family Life by Akhil Sharma
It’s a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating to America, only to face entirely new hardships. Sharma’s novel isn’t entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Go ahead and give up movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read or re-read the classic itself. You know the story: a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later feels anger about him.
An American Childhood by Annie Dillard
Dillard’s first book is, as its title suggests, about her change from being a self-centered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns. Her parents are key figures in the story. One famous scene takes place during what the author calls “a big snow” in 1950.
1. Who wrote a novel about “The Snow Queen”?| A．Annie Dillard. | B．Donna Tartt. |
| C．Akhil Sharma. | D．Hans Christian Andersen. |
