The Olympic flame:
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred (神圣的) flame burned at the altar(神坛)of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organising committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.
Olympic motto:
“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
Olympic oath(宣誓)
“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.
66. The Olympic flame was first burned at _______ in modern times.
A. the 1920 Games                    B. the 1924 Games
C. the 1932 Games                    D. the 1936 Games
67. From the passage we can learn ________.
A. before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games
B. the first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games
C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games
D. The Olympic torch has burned since 1924
68. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. There was no athlete’s oath in the 1896 Olympic Games.
B. The 1920 Olympic games was held in Amsterdam.
C. The judge from the host country takes the same oath as the athletes does.
D. Dideon wrote Citius, Altius, Fortius for the Olympic Games.

Weighed down by study? Pushed to the limit by the fast pace of life ? Frightened by the possible war ? Well, you’re not alone. Men and women in France are seeking relief using the world’s best medicine-----laughter.

In the past year, more than 15 laughter clubs have been set up across the country. People of all ages go to release their stress with an hour group laughs. “People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh. They want to find a place where they can escape all their problems for a while. So they come,” said 40—year—old Jocelyne Le Moan. She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques.

Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle---aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day. Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh”and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak”to each other in different ways. And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter. At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation”, when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths.

“I love it. It’s an experience that has changed my life. Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,”Said Romain Jouffroy, 24. “US President George W. Bush should give it a try. He has lost his laugh,”she joked . Like Jouffroy, many laughter club members find themselves changed into children again, and why not ? The average preschooler laughs up to 400 times a day.

The average adult only a day seven to 15.

The physical benefits of laughter are already well—recognized. Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood—stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage(按摩)the digestive organs and strengthens the heart.

“A full hour is like having your inside go jogging!One finishes out of breath, but feels revitalized(产生新活力. And on top of that , you’ve had a laugh,”said doctor Alexisd’ Estaing.And many participants in Paris also emphasize the psychological benefits. They believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident.

     Le Whif, an inhaler (吸入剂) that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please
without putting on weight, is to be released in British stores. The invention, called the world's first breathable
food by its creators, lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one
calorie. Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their
waistline.
     The lipstick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles which are small enough to
become conveyed by air, but too large to enter the lungs. Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about
eight to ten whiffs (喷射) and costs 1.99 on its own, or £4.99 for a pack of three. The inhaler is available
in chocolate, raspberry chocolate and mint chocolate models as well as coffee flavor, which gives a dose of
caffeine equivalent to a small short of strong black coffee.
     It was invented by Prof. David Edwards. He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be
used to increase dining experiences, such as allowing people to sample a variety of dishes from restaurant
menus before ordering their meal.
     He said, "In terms of living off whiffing we aren't even close to being there. But there clearly has been a
revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently and choosing
food or its aesthetic (审美的) pleasure. We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six
months. It is reasonable to assume that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered."
     The product was released in Paris in 2009 and the initial production run of 25,000 inhalers were sold out
within a month. It has since been made available across France and in the US. In Britain Le Whif is to be sold
firstly in House of Fraser for a month, after which it could become more widely distributed.

A. is a new kind of healthy food

D. is able to help dieters lose weight
2. What's the main purpose of inventing Le Whif?
A. To produce all kinds of chocolate.
B. To replace the traditional chocolate.
C. To change the coffee flavor.

A. His new products will come out once a year.
B. Le Whif is a revolution that will change people's life.
C. The whiffing products in the future will be improved.
D. Le Whif can make people eat less food.
