Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands 【1】 the spirit of the Olympics. But fairness is the basis of this motto. Only 【2】 you win fairly will you and your homeland deserve the great glory. 【3】 nowadays, unlike the ancient honest slave competitors, some hopeless athletes 【4】 can’t bear the pain of training cheat when taking part in games.

So, in the gymnastics event 【6】(hold) in our city next month, one of the host’s 【7】(responsible) is to keep competitions fair.

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all.

This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the lad had gone home to ponder （考虑） his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance.

Mummies have been found all over the world, most of them in Egypt. However, other cultures in South America and Asia also mummified their dead persons.

The oldest mummy ever found dates back to 6,000 years before Christ. The British Museum in London currently displays the oldest Egyptian mummy, dating back to 3,400 BC. The British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the remains of Tutankhamun in 1922, probably the most famous mummy in the world.

Today scientists study mummies with special equipment and X-ray machines. They discover more about the bodies of ancient people and how they lived. They can also find clues to what they ate and what kind of disease they had.

Mummification also happens because of extreme weather. Mummies have been found in the cold regions of the world, including the Alps and the Himalaya mountains. Salt water also helps preserve bodies. Mummies have been found in deserts and in peat bogs (泥潭沼泽). The most famous natural mummy is tzi, the Iceman, found in a glacier on the Austrian-Italian border in 1991.

Xiong Lijiao, a resident in Nanchang, a major pig-breeding region, said her family eats less pork now. “Prices of pork have doubled, making it much more expensive.” said Xiong. The weekly average price of a carcass-weight hog(胭体瘦肉型生猪) in 16 provincial-level regions was 37. 57 yuan($5. 3) per kg in mid-September, up 94. 1 percent year-on-year, according to the information center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. It is not only pork prices that are being affected, demand for soybeans, used as food for hogs, as well as other kinds of meat prices are also being affected.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said favorable government policies and market conditions have boosted some farmers’ confidence in restoring production. China has rolled out 17 measures to support hog production since the end of August, and most of them have been carried out. To meet the market gap, China is increasing imports and releasing frozen pork from its central reserves. But eyeing a long-term solution, China is encouraging large-scale pig farming. The industry concentration will further increase with many small and medium-sized breeding companies leaving the business. Despite the current challenges, China’s pig breeding industry is heading toward a more intensive, environmental-friendly and risk-resistant growth model.

Our class are discussing what to wear when receive the British students in next month. I recommend the traditional Chinese dress when Li Hua prefers the school uniform.

I would be happy wear traditional Chinese clothes at the welcome ceremony. Firstly, this is exactly that the British visitors are expecting. They come to learn about Chinese culture with our own eyes. Their Chinese peers in the typical Chinese dress would be high impressive. The school uniforms are not special enough to give an unique Chinese flavor. Secondly, the inconvenience is not a problem but a way that display the richness, delicacy and great fascination of Chinese culture with a history of thousand of years.

In my opinion, the traditional Chinese clothes will make the occasion very Chinese and inviting to the British guests.
