The modern Olympics, which appeared in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago, have become the world’s most important sporting competition. From the 8th century B. C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.
The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic
Games held every four years.
After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, but their standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race, announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor TheodosiusⅠended the ancient Olympic tradition.
It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November 1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making the Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years. Two years later, he got the approval (批准) he needed to found the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ), which would become the governing body of the modern Olympic Games.
4. What do we know about the modern Olympics?

The latest Winter Olympics will delay for two years. 5. How often were the ancient Olympics held? A. Every year. B. Every other year. C. Every three years. D. Every four years. 6. When did the ancient Olympics end? A. In 393 A. D. B. In 67 A. D.
C. In the mid-2nd century B. C. D. About 1,500 years ago. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. The ancient Olympics B. The modern Olympics

Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is
trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.
But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.
Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.
Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.
8. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?
A. Negative. B. Colorful. C. Independent. D. Selfish. 9. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?
A. Do business with the local people. B. Help farmers increase potato output.
C. Assist villagers with construction work. D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching. 10. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?
A. To encourage them to make friends with locals. B. To inspire them to live a more positive life. C. To train them to become doctors in the future. D. To make them learn about different cultures. 11. What is the best title for the text?
A. From millionaire to mud hut B. A life-changing adventure C. A rich man becoming homeless D. More money, more worries
D
Each year, the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace. Dressed in aprons (围裙) and
headscarves, they wait at both towns’starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re off!
This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day beforethe Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church, and pancake racing was born.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice - once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.
In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes. Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages. 12. How did pancake racing start? A. A woman in Olney created it. B. Women made pancakes before Lent. C. A woman dashed to church with a pancake. D. People followed the suit of an interesting incident. 13. What should racers obey during the race? A. They can wear fashionable headscarves and aprons. B. They must flip their pancakes once in the race.
C. They must flip their pancakes at the beginning of the race. D. They can flip their pancakes in the middle of the race. 14. What can we learn about the race from the last paragraph? A. People can show their talent in Olney festival. B. People can enjoy a one-day holiday in Liberal.
C. The race is not only intended for women now. D. People can have a big pancake breakfast in both towns. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The origin of pancake racing. B. The history of pancake racing. C. The development of pancake racing. D. The introduction to pancake racing.
