Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously (好奇). You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things. Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each other. Then, and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE. After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM, and other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express your idea, such as "I want to go out and play with my friends." This is language. By means of language people can communicate (交流). So we say languages are means of communication. |

Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and to read. Later people used a dot (点) to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6·3.

The Changing Olympic Games The Olympic Games have changed a lot since they were first held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then, winners got silver medals instead of gold ones. Sounds strange, doesn"t it? People thought silver was better than gold. Also, no women ran in the first Olympics, and only 14 countries took part. China was not one of them. But those aren"t the only differences. The Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin (顾拜旦) was the man who really wanted the Games to start again. His idea for the modern Olympics came from the Greek Games thousands of years ago. He hoped they would help to bring world peace. But it took time for the Olympics to become popular. Not many people thought they were good ideas in 1896, so they were put together poorly. Some tourists even ran in races! Today, more than 10,000 people from about 200 countries take part. In the early years of the Olympics, there weren"t many sports. Most events were track and field (田径), much like in the first Greek Games. Events usually took place in the Panathenaic Stadium (雅典体育场), and you can still see it today. Players did not wear their countries" colors in 1896. Their clothes were not like the uniforms people wear today. In fact, players weren"t even picked by their countries back then. They traveled to the Games by themselves and had to use their own money to take part. New sports have been put into the Olympics over time, like badminton and table tennis. Some older games are no longer played, like tug-of-war (拔河). It would be hard to see all the events at this year"s Games. There will be over 300! Swimming was different in 1896. There was a 1,200-metre race in the sea. A boat took swimmers out into the sea and left them to swim back to land. Sometimes rough water made the race dangerous. The first person ever to win that race was Hungarian Alfred Hajos. He seemed happy just to finish."I just wanted to live. That"s more important than winning," he said. When people or teams won events in 1896, they didn"t get the same things as now. They got olive wreaths (橄榄枝花环) to put on their heads and silver medals. |

[ ] |
A、gold medals and olive wreaths B、silver and gold medals C、olive wreaths and flowers D、silver medals and olive wreaths |

From southern England to northeast Scotland, the British is to find a motto (格言) that best tell the spirit of the nation in five words. However, there is a small problem. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not, in fact, a nation and have different cultures. It seems it is impossible to find a national motto to join the country. Who first had the idea of looking for a motto? British Prime Minister (首相) Gordon Brown started it: He suggested it as part of a public discussion to decide "the ideals (理想) that put us together as a nation". Newspapers couldn"t wait to get the game started. So they asked website readers to tell their own opinions. The one that won a Times Online poll (投票) is "No motto please, we"re British". You may wonder what it really means. The suggestion is that British people don"t like to go to the trouble of having a motto. However, it also suggests that Britain is a place with a long history and rich culture:"We don"t need a motto. We know who we are. We have done quite well without one for over 2,000 years, thanks." Although the discussion seems mainly lighthearted (轻松的), it also has a serious side. The British government is worried that Britain is losing its cultural identity (特性). While Britain has a seat at the United Nations and competes as one at the Olympic Games, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are so different from each other and they have their own FIFA football teams. |
1. What are the British doing according to the text? |
[ ] |
A. They are playing an interesting game. B. They are looking for a motto for the whole country. C. They are listening to their Prime Minister"s idea. D. They are giving a name for their football team. |
2. In which part of the country do people look for a motto for the nation? |
