The Olympic flame:
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred (神圣的) flame burned at the altar（神坛）of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organising committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.
Olympic motto:
“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
Olympic oath(宣誓)
“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.
66. The Olympic flame was first burned at _______ in modern times.
A. the 1920 Games                    B. the 1924 Games
C. the 1932 Games                    D. the 1936 Games

It is impossible to imagine Paris without its cafés. The city has some 12,000 cafés varying in size, grandeur, and  41  . The cafés are like an extension of the French living room, a place to start and end the day, to  __42_   and debate.

When did the cafés in France start? The oldest café in Paris is Le Procope. It was opened in 1686 by Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, the man who turned France into a coffee-drinking society. Le Procope attracted Paris’s political and  43  elite, and in this way played an important part among the upper class. By the end of the 18th century, all of Paris was intoxicated with （沉醉在）coffee and the city   44    some 700 cafés. These were like all-male clubs, with many functioning as centers of  45   life and discussion. By the 1840s the number of cafés had grown to 3,000. The men who gathered in these cafés and  46   the theme of the times included journalists, playwrights and writers. Around the turn of the 20th century, the sidewalk cafés became the meeting halls for artists and literary   47  .

Nowadays in Paris cafés still play the role of picture windows for observing   48 life. The artists gathered at the café may not be as great as those of the past, but faces worth watching are just the same. Linger a bit and you will see that the Parisian stereotypes are still_49    and well. You’ll see the old men in navy berets; ultra-thin, bronzed women with hair dyed bright orange; and schoolchildren sharing an afternoon chocolate with their mothers. The café in Paris has always been a place for seeing and being seen.

（1）           You are in a beautiful place enjoying the landscape，maybe fishing ,but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted by the noisy sound of a cell phone !Cell phone are everywhere，and some people don’t know what the limits of cell phone use are.

（2）           Nowadays，that’s the biggest problem．People disturb other people，first with the ringing of their cell phones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly．Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations．

（3）           People need to-learn how to use cell phones correctly．If there is an emergency，cell phone  are acceptable；but remember that just a few years ago few people had cell phones and the whole society survived! Nowadays people can’t seem to live__________.．They talk in restaurants，in restrooms，in ears，in hospitals，and at parties．It's incredible!

（4）           It's like smoking．Just as people don’t want to be bothered by smokers。they don’t want to be disturbed by cell phone talkers．Our society has to learn to respect other people．It would be great if loud talking was seen as really bad manners．The u8e of cell phones must be restricted in places such as cinemas，theatres，museums，classrooms，and hospitals．

（5）           Nowadays，people just laugh when a cell phone rings in these places ,but it’s Just the beginning，SO in the future I think things are going to change．They should have got tickets when they use them in inappropriate places，like people get parking tickets when they park in inappropriate places .So，we have to write some rules to restrict，or even prohibit，cell phone use in some places．New rules of etiquette(礼仪)are needed for new behaviors in our lives such as using cell phones．It's going to have to be part 0f our education in t}le future．
