　　Athens will welcome the 2004 Olympic Games with open arms．Not only will the Games be returning to their birthplace, but they’ll also be entering a new period of Olympic history．

　　The International Olympic Committee(IOC)has been looking for ways to make the world’s largest sporting event a bit smaller and easier for cities to host．Mexico is the only Latin American nation to have hosted the Olympics．And the games have never been held in Africa．

　　It costs well over＄4 billion to host the Olympic Games．And this is stopping many poorer countries from trying to win the bid．Cities in Africa and Latin America, with great social and money problems, cannot even begin to make the bid．

　　So, the IOC has suggested 117 ways to make the Games smaller and easier for cities across the world．These ideas are to be put into practice soon－maybe in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics．The IOC wants to save up to ＄400 million．

　　The suggestions include limiting the number of sports to 28 and the number of athletes to 10, 500．

　　“Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports, ”said an IOC official．Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball, softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing, horse, jumping, swimming and running)．

　　“We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆), ”said IOC president Jacques Rogge．“Our dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Olympic Games．”

　　Asia is the largest of the continents of the world．It is larger than Africa, larger than either of the two Americas, and four times as large as Europe．Asia and Europe form a huge land mass．Indeed Europe is so much smaller than Asia that some geographers regard Europe as a peninsula(半岛)of Asia．Many geographers say that the Ural Mountains form the dividing line between Europe and Asia．Some think differently．But all geographers agree that Asia was once linked to North America．Or, to be more exact, Alaska was at one time connected with the tip of Siberia．The ancestors of American Indians, geographers say, were Asians．30,000 years ago they went across the land bridge and settled down in new homes．Only a small canal separates Africa from Asia．But before the Suez Canal was cut in 1869 Asia was also linked to Africa．

　　The highest point of the earth is in Asia．This is the peak of the Himalaya Mountains．It is over 29,140 feet high．At this altitude the air is very thin and the weather is uncertain．So the climbing is very difficult．People take great pride in getting to that peak．

　　The world’s great religious originated from Asia：Buddhism from India, Christianity from Palestine, Islam from Arabia．Today Buddhism and Islam are the principal religions of much of Asia．

　　Asia is also the most populous continent．China, the country with the largest population in the world, is in Asia．One half of the world’s population are Asians．A Chinese is an Asian, a Japanese is an Asian, and an Indian is an Asian．So is an Iranian, a Palestinian, an Iraqi, a Filipino, a Singaporean．A meeting of Asians is usually a large gathering．The Asian Games meet every four years, sometimes with as many as 40 nations taking part．There was a time when Asia led the world in civilization．Today most of the Asian countries are still developing countries．They are working very hard to catch up in science and technology．They must．They have little time to lose．
