  The first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens(雅典)in 1896 and only twelve nations participated it.Besides the host nation,many participants(参赛者)were tourists who happened to bein Greece at the time.Though the whole affair was informal and the standard was not high, the old principle of the sport was kept up.

  Since then, the games had been held every four years except during the interruption of the two World Wars.This was definitely a departure(背道而驰)from the old Olympic spirit that wars had to stop and make way for the games.

  The games have grown in scale and physical performances have now reached unprecedented(空前的)heights.Unfortunately the same cannot be said about their moral standard.The modern games are now held in different cities all over the word.Politics and commercialism get involved for the honor to hold the games because of the profit.In the 11th games held in Berlin in 1936, Hitler who had newly come to power in Germany tried to use the occasion for his Nazi propaganda(宣传).For the first time the Olympic flame was brought all the way from Olympia to the games site in relays, a marathon journey now often taking months to finish.The last relay runner lit the huge symbol torch high on a pedestal(火炬台)above the stadium on the opening day, and with great pomp and fanfare(壮丽多彩)the opening ceremony began.

  The Games of the 24th Olympiad, Beijing 2008, will take place from 8th to 24th, August 2008.The Games will play host to the 28 summer sports.About 10,500 athletes are expected to take part in the Games with around 20,000 media bringing the Games to the world.

  On 11th, November, 2005, the Organizing Committee for the Games of Beijing 2008 has launched the five official mascots(吉祥物)for the Beijing Games at a show, to mark the 1,000-day countdown(倒计时)to the Opening Ceremony of the Games.The five mascots are officially called the Five Friendlies.They are Beibei, the fish; Jingjing, the panda; Huanhuan, the Olympic flame; Yingying, the Tibetan antelope; and Nini, the swallow.The first syllables from their two-syllable names form a line that reads“Beijing Huanying Ni”, or in English - “Welcome to Beijing”.The mascot’s colours were chosen in line with the colours of the Olympic rings.

     What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. What do you call someone who
speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.
     To people in many countries, being bilingual or even trilingual is a way of life. But since the mother
tongue of most Americans is English-a language widely spoken around the world-they often don't feel the
need to learn a foreign language. Moreover, people who live in the heartland of America have little contact
with other linguistic groups, making foreign language skills irrelevant.
     Actually, though, this"land of immigrants" has always had people of many different nationalities and
languages. The 1990 census indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English at home. Yet
only 3% reported that they spoke English "not well" or "not at all". That means that slightly more than one
out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students and
even some elementary school students are required to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum.
In addition to old standbys like Spanish, German and French, more and more students are opting (选择)for
Eastern European and Asian languages. Of course, not all students keep up their foreign language abilities.
As the old saying goes, "If you don't use it, you lose it," But still, a growing number of Americans are coming
to appreciate the benefits of bein  multilingual.
