In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. From then on, many countries had successfully held the Olympics, such as England, France, Germany, Canada, the U.S.A., Spain and Australia. After more than a hundred years, the Games returned to its hometown in the year of 2004. When a country hosted the Olympic Games, they always made an emblem (会徽). The emblem of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games was a white circle of olive branches (橄榄枝) in the sky. In 2008, Beijing will host the Olympics. Its emblem is "Jing". It means the capital of China and it is also like a runner or dancer. The running figure (人形) of the emblem shows the spirit (精神) of the Olympics: Faster, higher and stronger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"How are you?" is a nice question. It"s a friendly waythat people in the USA greet each other. But "How are you" is also a very unusual question. It"s a question that doesn"t need an answer. The person who asks "How are you" hopes to hear the the answer "Fine", even if the person"s friend isn"t fine. The reason is that "How are you" isn"t really a question and "Fine" isn"t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi". Sometimes, people also don"t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, "Do you agree?" the other person may think, "No, I disagree. I think you are wrong…" But it isn"t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say, "I"m not sure." It"s a nicer way to say that you don"t agree with someone. People also don"t say exactly what they are thinking. For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person says, "I"ve to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse. "Someone is at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn"t want to talk any more, but it isn"t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn"t hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don"t say exactly what they are thinking. It"s an important way that people try to be nicer each other, and it"s a part of the game of language. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
