Travel in most of Europe is easy. An agreement between the 15 European Union countries in 1995 means that citizens from most European countries can travel across borders without needing a visa.

Each of the 12 countries that has 1its own currency (货币) to accept the euro has its own 2. So how have these countries been able to 3? And how has each country prepared for the birth of this new currency? Firstly, many people in Europe, 4in west Europe, speak English. The European Convention on Human Rights says that all people have a5to learn and use their traditional language.

But at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, the official language for all business is 6. And every European country requires students to study English for many years at 7. Other languages may be offered, too. But English is a 8.

"If I meet someone, I try Spanish. Then I try 9. And if it's not 10, I say "Hello". That' s the signal, and we communicate no matter what country we come from." Said Maria Ortega, a ski instructor in the Pyrenees, 11French and Spanish are mainly used.

Each country has its own 12culture. Though the French may be famous for their 1,000 types of cheese and the Greeks are known to13olive oil on everything, most people in Europe like14strong coffee on their breakfast table. Another drink is held15throughout the continent. Europe's vineyards(葡萄园) may be famous, but the real drink of Europe is 16. Europeans consume tons of it.

Football, of course, also helps to 17all of Europe. Many fans are obsessed (着迷) with 18and with international stars. David Beckham, of England' s Manchester United, is a hero to Europeans in the same 19that Michael Jordan is to 20.

For new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passport, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying a large and strange family.

Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologies and market researchers, and are more interesting

   35% of Germans live alone, but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.

  The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain.

  The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.

  The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.

  The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.

  Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.

  The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者)of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.

  The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. So, sharing a lift is a torture for both the British and the Swedish.

There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, just laugh a lot and eat and point at things.”
