1．Spoiled for choice？That's likely how you'll feel after a mere day in Athens．The secret is in not trying to do everything．Instead，take in a couple of the tourist highlights and then get a feel for this attractive capital．
An ancient sight
The Acropolis（卫城） always comes out at the top of the list of things to see in Athens．The most famous of the westem world's ancient sights continue to impress tourists as they climb the marble steps and stand before the graceful Parthenon．Views from up here are amazing．
A slow wander
Plaka is the city's oldest neighbourhood，resting on the slopes of the Acropolis with cafes and fascinating architecture．The streets are perfect for getting lost in，giving wanderers the chance to discover cafes and bars where they can drink some strong coffee among locals．Plaka is at its best in the early evening．Acropolis House Pension is a preserved 19th century house that gives guests a glimpse into a Greek home．
A market scene
Varvakios Agora is Athens' central market．Locals come here to shop and look for everything needed in a Greek kitchen-from olive oil to meat．This is a look at local life as well as a window into Greek cuisine．The meat market is also home to some of the city's best pubs，feeding traditional food to crowds of customers from all walks of society．
A splash of nightlife

2．In China，many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities，because the countryside is much poorer than the city，and often there isn't much work there．Services such as hospital and transport（交通）are usually much better in the city than in the countryside．They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city．
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris，people are moving out of the city．These rich families want to live a quieter life．They are tired of the noise and the dirt（尘土）of the city and they are tired of the crowded streets，crowded trans and uses．They don't want to live in the cities any more．They want a house with a garden in the countryside，and breathe the fresh air there．
So they move out of the cities．Some don't go very far，just a little way out of the city，to the towns near the cities，other people move to the real countryside with sheep，cows and green fields．There，they start new lives and try to make new friends．
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy．After two or three years ，many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake．They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do．People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly．
As a result，quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city．"It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights， " they say．

3．I drove to a local supermarket one day．My shopping list was long and my wallet was light．Still，I needed to get a week's worth of groceries for my family．I parked my car，looked down at my list，and hoped I could afford it all．
