Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in the Olympics. But they often don"t realize how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics. A sport needs to be well-organized and popular before the Interracial Olympic Committee (IOC) will consider it. An international federation must govern (控制) the sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards (标准). What"s more, men from at least 75 countries and women from at least 40 must play the sport. However, even meeting those conditions isn"t enough. The IOC always tries to keep the member of athletes at about 10,000 for each Olympics.Since most modern Olympics already include so many athletes, introducing a new sport often means cutting other events. The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what new sports should be included. While new sports are added to the Olympics,most of them will simply become events in another sports meeting. In Beijing, open water swimming will become part of swimming, while women"s steeplechase (障碍赛) will be added to athletics. |

A taboo is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience. Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners around our city. Mr. Singh was from India and Mr. White from the USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (随意的). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand. In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn"t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens" claws(爪子). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn"t know it was a taboo in India to shake one"s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don"t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the States for people to eat chickens" claws. He went on to say that Americans don"t usually get into each other"s personal space. Isn"t it a good lesson to remember? |
