to their birthplace, but they"ll also be entering a new period of Olympic history.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been looking for ways to make the world"s largest
sporting event a bit smaller and easier for cities to host. Mexico is the only Latin American nation to have
hosted the Olympics. And the games have never been held in Africa.
It costs well over $4 billion to host the Olympic Games. And this is stopping many poorer countries
from trying to win the bid. Cities in Africa and Latin America, with great social and money problems,
cannot even begin to make the bid.
So, the IOC has suggested 117 ways to make the Games smaller and easier for cities across the world. These ideas are to be put into practice soon---maybe in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The IOC
wants to save up to $400 million.
The suggestions include limiting the number of sports to 28 and the number of athletes to 10,500.
"Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports,"
said an IOC official. Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball,
softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing, horse, jumping, swimming and running).
"We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be
organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆)," said IOC president Jacques Rogge." Our
dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Olympic Games."
B. The Olympic Games have to increase the number of sports.
C. The Olympic games have to increase the number of athletes.
D. The Olympic Games have to enlarge their global attraction.
B. America
C. Europe
D. Africa
B. baseball, softball and volleyball
C. softball, baseball and the modern pentathlon
D. softball, fencing and pentathlon
B. make many poorer countries be able to organize the Olympics.
C. increase the events of the Athens Olympic Games
D. make Athens enter a new period of Olympic history

that Napoleon was a major influence. The French had used the right since at least the late 18th century.
Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the
peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he
conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in
Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain,
followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand rivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse
traffic traveled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons
pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift to the right. A driver would sit on the rear
(后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they
traveled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th
century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason,
stated in 1908; the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially...if there is
a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the
right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The
U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the western world"s few remaining
holdouts. Several Asian countries, including Japan, use the left as well-thought many places use
both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.
B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.
C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.
D. Hitler ordered them to go to against their left-hand tradition.
B. England
C. Japan
D. Australia
B. so that passengers could get off conveniently
C. because rules at that time weren"t perfect
D. though many countries were strongly against that
B. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.
C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.
D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.
B. How cars have become a popular means of transportation?
C. How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?
D. Why don"t people all drive on the same side of the road?
were bad. Most of their homes were so poorly made that they fell down or were fire hazards (=danger) with their steep, narrow wooden stairways. Most people were packed into apartment buildings that
rose shakily (=unsafely) six to twelve floors above the ground. The apartments were rooms about three
metres square, and each building housed about five hundred people.
These tall buildings faced each other across streets only three metres wide, so no sunlight reached the ground. Even so, apartments were costly, though cheaper places could be had outside Rome. But people wanted to be near their work and entertainment. So the streets became crowded and it was hard to move quickly. At night, the streets were filled with noise as food and supplies were brought inthe city on wagons and carts.

about what is polite and what is not polite. For example, to offer your seat to the elderly on a bus is
considered polite behavior, and to interrupt when someone is talking is considered impolite; to greet
someone the first time you meet him in the morning is polite and to stand up to reach for the dish you
want at a dinner table is impolite. So politeness can first of all be regarded as a phenomenon, an
observable social phenomenon.
What I would like to propose is that as an observable social phenomenon, politeness is something
superficial, but to account for what is understood at the surface, we should dig into the depth where
different cultural values are rooted.
When being complimented (赞美), an English-speaking person would readily accept the compliment
by saying something like "Thank you" to show his appreciation of the praise, but a Chinese speaker
would try to deny the truth of the compliment. They both think they are behaving properly. Yet neither
of them would think the other is being polite. The English speaker is being polite to the extent that by
accepting and showing appreciation of the compliment, and he avoids hurting the positive face of the
person who makes it; the Chinese speaker is showing modesty by denigrating himself, ignoring the fact
of the compliment paid to him. As has been mentioned, self-denigration has been at the core of the
Chinese understanding of politeness for over two thousand years. The Chinese, in order to show
modesty, will go to such lengths as to underrate what he himself has achieved and deny the truth of
a complimentary remark.
B. being modest
C. showing appreciation
D. an observable social phenomenon
B. what is understood at the surface
C. different cultural values
D. the root of different thoughts
A. appreciate
B. deny
C. ignore
D. compliment
B. English-speaking people are reluctant to accept compliment.
C. Chinese tend to show politeness and modesty by denying the truth of praise.
D. Chinese people think highly of British politeness while English people think poorly of
Chinese politeness.
B. Objective.
C. Optimistic.
D. Critical
