longest, hardest race of all. The name "marathon" comes from a village in Greece. A famous battle was fought
there in the year 490 B.C. When the Greeks had beaten the Persians, a soldier ran all the way from Marathon to
Athens-more than 40 kilometers-to tell people the good news. When the modern Olympic Games were stared in
1896, the organisers (组织者) knew this story. The marathon has been a race since then.
In the ancient world the Olympics were held every 4 years. They were an important part of
life. In the modern Games we try to copy their ideas. The finest sportsmen in the world are collected in one
place-or at least, the finest "amateure" are. An amateur is someone who does not earn any money from sport. It
is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not. It is true that Olympic athletes (运动员) do not earn
large amounts of money like professional sportsmen. But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers for a
sport. They have to spend a lot of time training. Their governments pay for their training, travel and "pocket
money", because they want them to win. Some people think that this changes the Olympics. They feel that the
Games are now a political marathon.

between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a
bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water
disappeared. Today, the area had only two small lakes and two salt deserts(不毛之地).
The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. During the day, the desert
is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert. So local people must show
guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Jusan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and
used the blocks to built it. Everything in the hotel is made of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the
beds, and the hotel"s bar.
The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm.
The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs $40 a night, and a double room costs %60.

Amanda is an American filmmaker and actress. She came to China three years ago to study Performance at Beijing Film Academy. Last month, she moved to Japan to study Economics at the University of Tokyo. On June 10th, She returned to the USA. She chatted with her parents about the cultural differences between the two countries. "The people in both countries are very friendly to foreigner. But they have different cultures. For example, when I spoke Chinese in China, the people there always showed surprise on their faces. But when I came to Japan, I found it was opposite. Most local people there hoped I could talk with them in Japanese, though I was not good at it," she said. Amanda thought this might have something to do with the fact that the western group in Japan is older than the one in China. They have stayed in Japan for a long time. And most of them speak Japanese well. But Westerners in China are still quite a new group. They"re usually treated as guests and tourists. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
