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.
