Grammar
The passive voice
☆被动语态的时态是由be的时态决定的，be是什么时态，全句就是什么时态，be后面的过去分词不变。

Writing
Write a passage about your hobby.
A sample
Swimming is my favorite sport. I like it because it can bring me much fun. The process of learning how to swim is very interesting.
You can try different ways of swimming, such as backstroke. You can swim at any time of the year if you like. In hot summer, if you jump into the river or the sea to have a swim, you will feel cool and comfortable.
Even in cold winter, you can swim if you are brave enough. It’s a healthy sport and it can build up our body. If you are a beginner, you must be careful. You’d better not swim alone and bring life buoy with you in case of danger. If you want to be a good swimmer, you must have a lot of practice and have great determination.

The Olympic Games
The Olympic Games in Ancient Greece
Introduction
In the ancient times, every four years in the summer period, a major event, which lasted seven days, was held in Olympia, a city in Ancient Greece. Officially established as a celebration at the beginning of the 9th century BC with a law, it included religious rituals and athletic games.
With the same law, the area of Olympia was considered a sacred place while a truce- ekehiria- was initiated: during the Olympics, all the conflicts among the ancient Greek cities-states stopped.
Preparation for the Olympics
The Palaestra, a square building-3rd century BC consists of an open peristyle courtyard with rooms round it. It was an area in which athletes trained for wrestling, boxing and jumping.
The first written testimonies with the names of winners, date back from the year 776 BC. There were specific preparations for the event which were:
The Stadium, where the athletic games were held, was 212.54m long and 28.50m wide. There were no seats, apart from the stone exedra of the Hellanodikai standing opposite the altar of the goddess Demeter Chamyne, and the embankment could easily seat 45,000 spectators.
The Games
A general view of Ancient Olympia as it is today.
Religious rituals were held at the beginning and the end of the games.
An important notice is that except the priestesses, women were not allowed to watch the games and mothers and sisters of the athletes stayed at the opposite side of the nearby river.

Task 1: Leading in
Do you know there is an event called “Marathon”
Do you think there was such an event in ancient Olympics
The Marathon was a modern
event that was first introduced
in the 1896 Olympic Games. The distance is 26 miles 385 yards or 42,195 kilometres. It’s a race in honor of Phidippides, an ancient runner. In the 5th century B.C, the Persians attacked Greece at Marathon near Athens.
Phidippides
The Greeks were very worried and didn’t know what to do. They sent Phidippides to Sparta to ask for help for the battle…
Task 2: Listen to get the main idea.
Phidippides sent his message miles away all by himself on foot.
What was Phidippides’ job as well as running
Phidippides’ job was a soldier as well as a great runner. He fought in the Battle of Marathon against the Persians. He also sent messages miles away by running.
Task 3: Answer the questions.
2. Why did the Greek army go to Marathon
Their city was going to be attacked, so the Greek army went to Marathon to fight their enemy.
3. Did Phidippides do what he was asked How do you know
Phidippides did what he was asked. We know because there is a mounument to him and to the dead soldiers at Marathon. He died giving his message.
For each Olympics, a new flame is
started in the ancient Olympic stadium
in Olympia, Elis, Greece, using a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of the Sun. This flame begins its Olympic Torch Relay by touring Greece. The flame is normally taken to the country where the games will be held (usually by airplane). The flame is then carried around the
Listening task (P51)
country where the games are to be held, using a series of torches carried by people running, walking, riding horses and camels, scuba diving, and using other means of human conveyance. The last runner uses a torch to light the large Olympic torch which burns throughout the games. The flame is extinguished during the closing ceremony. A new Olympic torch is designed for each of the games.
luminosity
justice
peace
solidification
friendship
友谊 光明 公正 和平 团结
Ex 2:
Number the events and discuss them in pairs.
Answers:
5 – 7 – 2 – 1 – 6 – 3 – 8 - 4
Listen to the tape again and discuss the questions with your partner.
1.Why does the torch begin its journey
in Greece
Ancient Greece was the birthplace of
the Olympic Games so it is
appropriate to light the flame there.
2. Why are there Special Olympic
Games
The modern Olympic Games considers everyone should have their chance to take part in the Games. If you are mentally or physically disabled, it would obviously be unfair for you to take part against other able-bodied competitors.
So the Olympic movement has devised two sets of extra Game: the Special Games (for mentally less able) and Paralympics (for physically handicapped competitors).
