In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. Since then, many countries have successfully held the Olympics, such as England, France, Germany, Canada, the U.S.A., Spain and Australia. After more than a century, the games returned to its hometown.

When people hold the Olympic Games, they always make an emblem(会徽). The emblem of the Athens Olympic Games was a white circle of love branches in the sky.

In 2004, Athens developed a spirit of peace. An officer said, “While in Athens, the world should be at peace. We hope the peace is not just for a short time. We would like the message from the Athens Games to help countries come together and solve their problems.”

One year later, the Olympic Games will be held in China. And China has already made a seal(图章), as the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The emblem has a single Chinese character on a red seal and means “Chinese seal-dancing Beijing”. Below it, there are the words “Beijing 2008”. The character in the emblem is “Jing”. It means capital of China and it is like a runner or a dancer. The running figure(人形) of the emblem shows the spirit of the Olympics-faster, higher and stronger.

(A)

All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city isn’t very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, however.

In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond (在……之外) the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from the village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land the whole week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. Their children ride on buses to large schools for all the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school.

Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. And there are also modern machines for farming. All of these have changed the farm life.

Many years ago, however, farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers usually had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new ways, and to trust their own ideas rather than (而不) followed the old ways.
