The Olympic Games have changed a lot since they were first held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then,
winners got silver medals instead of gold ones. Sounds strange, doesn"t it? People thought silver was better than
gold. Also, no women ran in the first Olympics, and only 14 countries took part. China was not one of them.
But those aren"t the only differences.
The Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin (顾拜旦) was the man who really wanted the Games to start
again. His idea for the modern Olympics came from the Greek Games thousands of years ago. He hoped they
would help to bring world peace.
But it took time for the Olympics to become popular. Not many people thought they were good ideas in
1896, so they were put together poorly. Some tourists even ran in races! Today, more than 10,000 people from
about 200 countries take part.
In the early years of the Olympics, there weren"t many sports. Most events were track and field (田径),
much like in the first Greek Games. Events usually took place in the Panathenaic Stadium (雅典体育场), and
you can still see it today. Players did not wear their countries" colors in 1896. Their clothes were not like the
uniforms people wear today. In fact, players weren"t even picked by their countries back then. They traveled to
the Games by themselves and had to use their own money to take part.
New sports have been put into the Olympics over time, like badminton and table tennis. Some older games
are no longer played, like tug-of-war (拔河). It would be hard to see all the events at this year"s Games. There
will be over 300!
Swimming was different in 1896. There was a 1,200-metre race in the sea. A boat took swimmers out
into the sea and left them to swim back to land. Sometimes rough water made the race dangerous. The first
person ever to win that race was Hungarian Alfred Hajos. He seemed happy just to finish."I just wanted to live.
That"s more important than winning," he said. When people or teams won events in 1896, they didn"t get the
same things as now. They got olive wreaths (橄榄枝花环) to put on their heads and silver medals.
B、silver and gold medals
C、olive wreaths and flowers
D、silver medals and olive wreaths
of the nation in five words. However, there is a small problem. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
are not, in fact, a nation and have different cultures. It seems it is impossible to find a national motto to join the
country.
Who first had the idea of looking for a motto? British Prime Minister (首相) Gordon Brown started it: He
suggested it as part of a public discussion to decide "the ideals (理想) that put us together as a nation".
Newspapers couldn"t wait to get the game started. So they asked website readers to tell their own
opinions. The one that won a Times Online poll (投票) is "No motto please, we"re British". You may wonder
what it really means. The suggestion is that British people don"t like to go to the trouble of having a motto.
However, it also suggests that Britain is a place with a long history and rich culture:"We don"t need a motto.
We know who we are. We have done quite well without one for over 2,000 years, thanks."
Although the discussion seems mainly lighthearted (轻松的), it also has a serious side. The British
government is worried that Britain is losing its cultural identity (特性). While Britain has a seat at the United
Nations and competes as one at the Olympic Games, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are so
different from each other and they have their own FIFA football teams.
B. They are looking for a motto for the whole country.
C. They are listening to their Prime Minister"s idea.
D. They are giving a name for their football team.
differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used. Let"s look at the words about
animals and ants.
Although dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans,most expressions in Chinese
about the dog, for example, "a homeless dog", "a running dog" and "a dog catching a mouse", have
negative meanings. But in Western countries, people use "dog" to describe positive actions. In English,
for example, "You are a lucky dog" means "You are a lucky person". And "Every dog has its day" means
"Each person has good luck sometimes". However. Chinese love cats very much. But in Western culture
"cat" is often used to describe a woman who is cruel (冷的). There are many other examples of how
"cat" is used differently as well.
The rose is regarded (视为) as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some Western countries.
People think the rose stands for (代表) love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national
flower of England,America and many other countries.
The words about animals and plants are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We
can learn about many differences in different cultures by comparing how some words are used.
B．stands for good luck
C．has a negative meaning
D．has a positive meaning
American city. But there are some differences on farms.
In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, each
farm family lives in its own fields. Usually their neighbors live far away. It"s hard for them to see each other on
weekdays. Their children take school buses to the nearest schools. These schools are only for the farm families
in this area (地区). In some areas, there are small schools for a few farm families,and the children walk to
schools.
Life keeps changing for everyone. So do farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, television
sets and there are modern machines for farming. All of these are changing farm life.
B. comfortable like
C. the same to
D. the same as
