times. Few people watched them run. However, over the years the marathon grew and became more popular.

across the bridge into Brooklyn. Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx. The marathon finishes

Although it has changed since 1970, the New York City Marathon is always exciting. Through the years,
many unusual events (事件) have happened during the marathon. For example, Pat Tuz and John Weilbaker
got married a few minutes before the race. Then they ran the race with their party members. Some people
run the whole marathon as a family. Other people run the race backwards.

Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in the Olympics. But they often don"t realize
how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics. A sport needs to be well-organized and popular before the
Interracial Olympic Committee (IOC) will consider it. An international federation must govern (控制) the
sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards (标准). What"s more, men from
at least 75 countries and women from at least 40 must play the sport.
However, even meeting those conditions isn"t enough. The IOC always tries to keep the member of
athletes at about 10,000 for each Olympics.Since most modern Olympics already include so many athletes,
introducing a new sport often means cutting other events.
The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what new sports should be included. While new
sports are added to the Olympics,most of them will simply become events in another sports meeting. In
Beijing, open water swimming will become part of swimming, while women"s steeplechase (障碍赛) will
be added to athletics.

that includes singing, dancing, acting and acrobatics (杂技动作).

The sheng is the male protagonist (主角), the dan the females protagonist, the jing (painted face) a male

Mr. White from the USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be

that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don"t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that
