[00:00.87]Unit 6 The Spirit 1 of Sports

[00:05.10]Lesson 24

[00:09.88]Exercise 1.2

[00:11.90]On July 13, 2001 at a meeting of the

[00:15.80]International Olympic Committee 2 in Moscow,

[00:19.12]Beijing was chosen to be the host city for the

[00:22.03]2008 Olympics.

[00:24.54]When the results came out,

[00:26.27]Beijing's streets were crowded with thousands

[00:28.67]of people celebrating the success.

[00:31.76]Beijing's slogan 3 for the 2008 Olympics is

[00:35.14]"New Beijing,Great Olympics."

[00:38.49]Beijing had promised to host a "Green

[00:40.61]Olympics," a "Hi-tech Olympics," and a "

[00:43.66]people's Olympics."

[00:45.84]The city of Beijing had the idea of hosting

[00:49.01]the Olympic Games several years before 2001.

[00:53.34]The Chinese were fully 4 prepared and confident

[00:55.95]in the success.

[00:57.76]The people of Beijing said,

[00:59.81]"Give Beijing a chance and we will show you how

[01:02.64]much more we can do for the Olympic movement 5."

[01:06.13]The IOC was also confident that Beijing could

[01:09.25]make the 2008 Olympics a great success.

[01:13.04]More importantly, the IOC believed that the

[01:16.27]Beijing Olympics would have special influence

[01:19.27]on China and on sports.

[01:21.84]Four other cities competed 6 for hosting the

[01:24.26]Olympics besides Beijing.

[01:26.66]They were Istanbul, Turkey; Osaka, Japan;

[01:30.99]Paris, France ; and Toronto, Canada.

[01:34.39]Interestingly, of all the five cities,

[01:36.84]Beijing had more support from citizens 7 than

[01:39.27]other cities.

[01:41.46]A survey showed that 94.9 percent 8 of the people

[01:45.24]of Beijing wanted to have the Olympic Games in

[01:48.37]theircity.

[01:49.78]In contrast 9 ,surveys in Paris and in Toronto

[01:54.15]showed only about two thirds of the people

[01:57.01]supported the idea of having the Olympic Games

[01:59.90]in their city.

[02:07.12]Exercise 2.2

[02:09.69]The 29th Olympic will be held in Beijing in

[02:12.83]2008.

[02:15.17]Beijing citizens are excited and they are

[02:17.59]talking a lot about what they should do for the

[02:19.94]Olympic Games.

[02:21.96]Here our reporter joins a group of middle

[02:24.38]school students in their regular English

[02:26.86]activity "Meet in English Corner."

[02:30.08]Their topic for today is "Let's all help to

[02:33.13]make the Beijing Olympics a great success."

[02:36.54]Let's listen to their ideas and suggestions.

[02:40.56]Hello, everyone. Glad to see you again.

[02:44.08]Today we are going to talk about what we can do

[02:46.78]to make the 29th Olympics more successful.

[02:51.46]What are your ideas?

[02:53.19]Please, Zhu Jianming.

[02:56.13]The Organizing Committee must be very busy.

[02:59.13]Shall we volunteer to help our local organizing

[03:01.82]committee?

[03:03.11]They must need a lot of people to

[03:04.43]share the work.

[03:06.43]What's your suggestion, Liu Li?

[03:09.31]Why don't we look for information

[03:11.24]on the Internet about the Olympics?

[03:14.18]So we can work together with our local

[03:17.17]community 10 to have more people understand

[03:19.75]the spirit of the Olympics.

[03:22.41]That's a good idea.

[03:24.28]Let's see if there are more ideas?

[03:27.06]I think English is very important for

[03:29.35]such a big international Games.

[03:32.53]We should help more people to learn

[03:34.37]and speak English.

[03:36.79]I agree with you.

[03:38.33]English will be more important in 2008.

[03:41.52]What's your name please?

[03:43.85]Zhao Xinping.

[03:46.52]Oh, we have a new friend today.

[03:49.26]Would you please introduce yourself

[03:50.90]and say something?

[03:52.74]My name is Xu Wei.

[03:54.70]I think we can do something to make our city

[03:57.13]more beautiful.

[03:58.86]Let's go and visit the local community

[04:01.91]and see if we can do something to

[04:03.75]help improve the environment.

[04:05.92]That's great.

[04:07.23]We want to have a "Green Olympics", right?

[04:08.21]
