23、 would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”Soon, her familys attention and care showed results.

The Games are currently held every two years, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating, although they occur every four years within their respective seasonal games. Originally
34、, the ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 5th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894.

42、简称奥运会）是国际奥林匹克委员会主办的包含多种体育运动项目的国际性运动会，每四年举行一次。奥林匹克运动会最早起源于古希腊，因举办地在奥林匹亚（Olympia）而得名。古代奥运会从公元前776年到公元394年，共历经293届，后被罗马皇帝狄奥多西一世以邪教活动罪名而废止。1894年在巴黎召开的国际体育会议，根据法国贵族皮埃尔德顾拜旦（Pierre de Coubertin）的倡议成立了国际奥委会，并决定恢复奥运会。现代第一届奥运会于1896年在希腊雅典举行，此后在世界各地轮流举行。1913年，根据顾拜旦的构思，国际奥委会设计了奥林匹克会旗，白底无边，中央有5个相互套连的圆环，环的颜色为天蓝、黄、
43、黑、绿、红，五环象征5大洲的团结和全世界运动员以公正、坦率的比赛和友好精神在奥运会上相见。,The Olympic Games,为了宣传奥林匹克精神、鼓励参赛运动员，由顾拜旦提议，1913年经国际奥委会批准，将“更快、更高、更强”作为奥林匹克格言。1936年第11届奥运会时，国际奥委会正式规定，在主体会场点燃象征光明、友谊、团结的奥林匹克火焰。此后这一活动成为每届奥运会开幕式不可缺少的仪式之一。奥运会开始前，在奥林匹亚希腊女神赫拉（宙斯之妻）庙旁用凹面镜聚集阳光点燃火炬后，进行火炬接力，于奥运会开幕前一天到达举办城市。在开幕式上由东道国运动员接最后一棒点燃塔上火焰，闭幕式时火焰熄灭。上一届奥运
44、会是2008年北京奥运会，共设28个大项和302个小项。由于1924年开始设立了冬季奥林匹克运动会，因此奥林匹克运动会习惯上又称为“夏季奥林匹克运动会”。最近一届冬奥会是2010年温哥华冬季奥运会。,The Olympic Games,Part I ListeningListen to the upcoming short talk and then fill in the blanks in the sentences that follow with two or three words.
