When the 29th Olympic Games is held in Beijing in 2008, it will be a place where all our dreams come true.

And the building that will hold those dreams is to be based on a nest-like design, planned jointly by Swiss and Chinese architects. The plan is for the main Olympic stadium: the National Stadium. Nest-like walls surrounding the stadium like a steel net proved to be a popular design. It won more than half the votes of over 6,000 visitors to an exhibition of 13 possible designs, which ended on March 31. Before the exhibition, the leading plan had been chosen as one of three top designs from 13 possible plans. The official announcement for the final winning design will be made sometime this month.

Guan Zhaoye, chairman of the group of official judges, said, “The top design is a perfect meeting of elegance(典雅) and simplicity.” The stand(看台) is a bowl-shape running circle. “People’s attention can focus on the competitive events instead of the stadium itself,” said Li Xinggang, one of the architects. “The excited crowds will become part of the building itself and they will stimulate(激发) the athletes.”

Many visitors said that the model is unusual, practical and mixes modern architecture with traditional Chinese culture. “I think it shows the idea of a nest where new life grows up. It is a really good idea,” said one visitor. But others disagreed and were unhappy about the building looking like a bird cage.

The 80,000-seat stadium, to be built in north Beijing, will host the opening and closing ceremonies(仪式) as well as track-and-field(田径) events during the 2008 Olympics. Construction work is set to start at end of this year.

    A.It is designed jointly by Swiss and Chinese architects and look like a bird cage

       B.It is a perfect meeting of elegance and simplicity.

       C.It is unusual, practical and mixes modern architecture with traditional Chinese culture.

       D.It shows the idea of a nest where new life and dreams grow up.

3.According to the passage, which of the following is not right?

       A.Some people still disagree with the design.

       B.The stadium will begin to be built in the south of Beijing at the end of this year.

  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.
