5.That is why it was surprising news when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) (国际奥委会) announced that it was studying new sports for the list.At a meeting in Singapore in 2005,the IOC voted on each of the 28sports from the 2004Olympic Games in Athens (雅典),Greece.At last,two of the 28sports were dropped out.The rest sports were selected for the 2012Summer Olympic Games,which will take place in London,England.The two sports that did not receive 50percent of the votes were baseball and softball.
Because these two sports were not selected,the IOC started the process of voting for two new sports.The five sports to select from were roller skating,golf,rugby,squash,and karate.After the first vote,karate and squash were prepared to the IOC for the final vote.
To become an Olympic sport,a sport must receive two-thirds of the votes of the IOC.When the final vote took place,squash received 39"yes"votes and 63"no"votes.Karate received 38"yes"votes and 63"no"votes.This means that neither squash nor karate will play roles in the 2012Olympic Games.This is sad,but fans of squash and karate still hope that their sports will be selected for the 2016Olympic Games.

The fast food makers know we have little time and don't pay attention to what we eat after a long day at work.So they often offer us cheap food that requires no cooking or cleaning,and only a short time to pick up.
But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious(有营养的),so it's not the best choice.There are some very cheap meal ideas that take almost no time to prepare and will make coming home for a good meal more enjoyable.
The first cheap meal idea is one dish including meat,rice,and also some cabbages,carrots or tomatoes.This is not only a cheap meal idea,but also it is fast because it can be made in only 20minutes.
You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs for the family in about half an hour.If you think it is strange to eat breakfast food for dinner,consider how the same foods give you what you need to go through a whole day.
Another cheap meal idea to try is a"macaroni and cheese with meat"dish,which is the fastest,only takes around 15minutes to cook.

Bitterness appears when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry.Someone might say or do something that hurts us.But instead of controlling the anger,we keep it deep inside.Before long,a bitter feeling begins to grow.We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing(批评) him or her often,but we're really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to terrible health problems such as heart disease,but also hurt our friendships with our friends and family members.No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life,the following ways can be helpful.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger,make it clear to yourself and accept it.See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry.You may think you're right and the other person is wrong.You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad.But in the end,bitterness hurts you much more than the other person.The bitterness will hold you back,and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind.But you can decide to forgive the other person.Forget it and move on.You'll enjoy better health and peace of your mind.
