It is true that the first Olympic Games of the modern times in 1896 were not open to women. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who gave new life to the Games, was very much a man of his time. He didn"t like women showing up for the Games. But since this time, things have changed. History shows that the number of women participating in the Olympic Games has been increasing over the years, since their first participation in the 1900 Olympic Games and especially in the last 30 years. This development is of social, political and cultural significance (意义). The progress is the result of the cooperation (合作)of the entire Olympic Movement and of proper measures that the International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Sports Federations (IFs), and National Olympic Committees( NOCs) have taken. Especially in the last 20 years, the IOC has enlarged the women"s program at the Olympic Games, in cooperation with IFs and the Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games ( OCOGs ). This development was further strengthened (巩固) by the IOC"s decision that all sports must have women"s events. The IOC also started to work on increasing the number of women at leadership level in sports in 1981. Former President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who wanted to have women as IOC members, made a great contribution. (贡献). Many sports volunteers have worked to increase the number of women joining in the Olympic Games. This progress has been made also thanks to the strong determination of women from different countries of the world who have worked to make sure women are fully represented in all sports. | |||

Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison (野牛) that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be"Who did this?" This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons. Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets that look familiar too. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls (公牛 ), which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags (牡鹿) and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (两只角的) animal. To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and a bird. Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons had a sense of wonder about the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it. | |||

Long ago, children played like children do today. They got dirty from running around. Older people got dirty from working all day. But then there was no soap. What did people do to get clean? At first, people just went into a lake. They washed in the water. But then learned to use other things with the water. They put plants in a fire until they turned black. In this way,they made ashes. People used the ashes like soap. They also used oil like soap. But these were not very good. The first soaps were hard to make. First water was put in a pot. Then fat was added. Oil and ash were mixed in the pot, too. Then it was put on a fire. Everything got very hot. Salt was added. After a while the fat came to the top. When the cooked fat was taken out, it got hard. This was the first soap. The soap we use today is very different. Things were put in to make it smell good. Something is added to give it a nice color. Some soaps are white. Others are yellow, green, or blue. Soap is also cut in different ways. It can be round or square. What is soap used for? We all know that it is needed to wash things. But did you know that a kind of soap is used to oil machines? This makes them work well. Another kind of soap is put in oil to make your car run better. | |||
