The 2000 'millennium' Games in Sydney lasted

16 days The games were huge There were 28

20 sports, 300 events and teams from 199

countries The opening ceremony was seen by

millions of TV viewers all over the world More

than ten million Australians watched as Cathy

Freeman, an Australian athlete, lit the Olympic

25 flame In the next Olympic Games, the torch will

be lit once again in Athens - the home of the

original modern Olympics!

Soon there were more races and competitions, such as boxing, wrestling, discus and javelin throwing, and chariot racing As the games became more popular, they were extended to five

« days The competitors were all men and the winners became national heroes

Find words in the te xt that mean:

continued for a period of tim e (line 3)

3 people who take part in a sport for fun, not for money (line 14)

4 a formal public event (line 21)

5 people who are watching a programme

According to tradition, the first Olympic

Games were in 776 BC at Olympia in Greece

They lasted just one day and there was only

one event: a race from one end of the stadium

to the other

1

The games took place regularly until AD 393,

when the Byzantine emperor, Theodosius I,

abolished them There were no games for

fifteen hundred years, until a Frenchman called

Baron de Coubertin revived them in 1896

^ The first competition of the modern era took place in Athens, with 14 countries

30 sending teams of men The gamesopened with the lighting of the Olympic flame, which came from Olympia The tradition continues from this day

The games have changed for the better

in the Olympic Games since 1900 There have also been Winter Olympics since

1924, and games for disabled people since 1960

■ Life on earth has been changing for millions

eastern Australia near rivers and lakes, and is

25 an excellent swimmer and diver It rests during the day and moves around at night It eats insects and its big beak is very useful for finding worms at the bottom of rivers

The echidna lives all over Australia and has

30 wide feet with large claws and short legs It is covered in hair and spines, has small ears, a short tail and a long nose The echidna doesn’t have any teeth Instead it has a long, sticky tongue for licking up plenty of ants! These weird

So why didn’t the monotremes develop like other animals? Once upon a time the earth was one big piece of land During the great dinosaur age, when reptiles were changing

of Australasia a different kind of animal developed, and the duck-billed platypus and the echidna have been living happily

platypus and the echidna Why are they weird?

they are monotremes This means they are

mammals that lay eggs The duck-billed

platypus and the echidna are the only two
