  The first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens(雅典)in 1896 and only twelve nations participated it.Besides the host nation,many participants(参赛者)were tourists who happened to bein Greece at the time.Though the whole affair was informal and the standard was not high, the old principle of the sport was kept up.

  Since then, the games had been held every four years except during the interruption of the two World Wars.This was definitely a departure(背道而驰)from the old Olympic spirit that wars had to stop and make way for the games.

  The games have grown in scale and physical performances have now reached unprecedented(空前的)heights.Unfortunately the same cannot be said about their moral standard.The modern games are now held in different cities all over the word.Politics and commercialism get involved for the honor to hold the games because of the profit.In the 11th games held in Berlin in 1936, Hitler who had newly come to power in Germany tried to use the occasion for his Nazi propaganda(宣传).For the first time the Olympic flame was brought all the way from Olympia to the games site in relays, a marathon journey now often taking months to finish.The last relay runner lit the huge symbol torch high on a pedestal(火炬台)above the stadium on the opening day, and with great pomp and fanfare(壮丽多彩)the opening ceremony began.

  The Games of the 24th Olympiad, Beijing 2008, will take place from 8th to 24th, August 2008.The Games will play host to the 28 summer sports.About 10,500 athletes are expected to take part in the Games with around 20,000 media bringing the Games to the world.

  On 11th, November, 2005, the Organizing Committee for the Games of Beijing 2008 has launched the five official mascots(吉祥物)for the Beijing Games at a show, to mark the 1,000-day countdown(倒计时)to the Opening Ceremony of the Games.The five mascots are officially called the Five Friendlies.They are Beibei, the fish; Jingjing, the panda; Huanhuan, the Olympic flame; Yingying, the Tibetan antelope; and Nini, the swallow.The first syllables from their two-syllable names form a line that reads“Beijing Huanying Ni”, or in English - “Welcome to Beijing”.The mascot’s colours were chosen in line with the colours of the Olympic rings.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
     When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several
things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially
when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job
that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs.
     One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively
affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be
something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with
benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them.
     That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be
in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching
and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so
don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search.
     If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one
suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits.
Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set
your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused
manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job
of your choice.
     Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low.
     What to avoid during your job search

     What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. What do you call someone who
speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.
     To people in many countries, being bilingual or even trilingual is a way of life. But since the mother
tongue of most Americans is English-a language widely spoken around the world-they often don't feel the
need to learn a foreign language. Moreover, people who live in the heartland of America have little contact
with other linguistic groups, making foreign language skills irrelevant.
     Actually, though, this"land of immigrants" has always had people of many different nationalities and
languages. The 1990 census indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English at home. Yet
only 3% reported that they spoke English "not well" or "not at all". That means that slightly more than one
out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students and
even some elementary school students are required to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum.
In addition to old standbys like Spanish, German and French, more and more students are opting (选择)for
Eastern European and Asian languages. Of course, not all students keep up their foreign language abilities.
As the old saying goes, "If you don't use it, you lose it," But still, a growing number of Americans are coming
to appreciate the benefits of bein  multilingual.
1. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Many Americans don't speak English at home.
B. All Americans speak English very well.
C. Most Americans can only speak one language.
D. In America most students only study one language.
2. Why do most Americans consider foreign languages are not important?
A. Because they think foreign languages are hard to learn.
B. Because English, their mother tongue, is a language widely spoken around the world.
C. Because they don't like foreign languages at all.
D. Because they have poor abilities to learn foreign languages.
3. What does the underlined word "multilingual"mean?
A. Bilingual.
B. Trilingual.
C. Language skill.
D. Speaking many languages.
4. What is happening to Americans now according to this passage?
A. More and more Americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of being multilingual.
B. Most Americans are studying foreign languages.
C. Most students in America are studying foreign languages.
D. Many elementary, high school and college students are required to learn five languages.
