　　Passage Two

　　There were many different culturesin the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European andAmerican civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two culturesare lumped together in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. Butthat is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not havebeen more different.
