questions (1.0 pt)
THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Every four years people all over the world watch the Olympic Games It is a time for all kinds of people to unite in peace Some of them join together to compete for gold medals Millions of other people watch them on television
Why do we have the Olympics? How did they begin? The first Olympic Games were in Greece in 776 B.C There was only one
event People ran a race the length of the stadium The Games
lasted one day
Slowly people added more events The Games were only for men, and women could not even watch them Only Greeks competed They came from all parts of the Greek world The time of the Games was a time of peace, and the government let everyone travel safely Kings competed against common people The winners became
national heroes
The first modern Games were in 1896 in Athens The Greeks built
a new stadium for the competition Athletes from several countries competed Then there were Olympics every four years in different cities in Europe and the United States until 1952 After that they were held in Melbourne, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Montreal besides in European cities Each year there were athletes from more nations The first Winter Olympics were in 1924 The athletes compete in skiing and other winter sports
Today there must be Olympic Games every four years The
Games must have at least fifteen events, and they cannot last more than sixteen days There is no age limit people of any age can
compete
Trang 8The competitors must not be professionals They must be
amateurs The athletes compete for gold medals The winners are still national heroes, as they were in the early Olympic Games in Greece
In 1956, Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon boycotted the Games They did not compete in the Games because several countries took the Suez Canal from Egypt that year Other countries boycotted the Games in
1964 and 1976 In 1980, the United States and other countries
boycotted the Games in Moscow In 1984, the Soviet Union and other countries boycotted the Games in Los Angeles How can the nations
of the world solve this problem? Maybe the Games should be in
Greece every year, where they began Then athletes from all over the world could compete without any boycotts
57 What was the only event in the first Olympic Games?
➞
58 How many nations played in the first Games? ➞
59 What is the age limit? ➞
60 When is the next Olympic Games? (outside of the passage) ➞
