Wuyuan is in the northeast of Jiangxi Province. People call it “the hometown of books”, “the hometown of tea” and “the most beautiful village in China”.
I went there with my friends in April this year and had a wonderful experience. At first, we saw many ancient buildings surrounded by green trees and clear brooks(溪流). It was said that they were built during the Tang Dynasty. Then we visited Changxi village, a place famous for producing high mountain green tea. People lead a quiet and simple life there. They shared the tea culture with us and told us how to enjoy the fresh tea. Next we passed through the oldest lane to experience the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. Although it was built 800 years ago, it stands as sturdy(坚固的) as ever. So it's still in use by the villagers now. I really liked this bridge because it could protect people from getting wet on rainy days. After that, we had a look at the Yuanyang Lake. It's in the west of Wuyuan and got the name of “Provincial Nature Reserve” in 1997. Along the lake is a forest with about 185 kinds of plants that are green all year around...

The Olympic Games have a long history. They began in Greece and lasted for over a thousand years, until 394 AD. The ancient Olympic Games were very different from the Olympics we have today. In ancient time, only the Greeks took part in the Olympics, and women were not allowed to join or watch them.
The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Every four years, athletes from all over the world take part in different sports at the Olympics. Many of these athletes were women. A large group of athletes at the Olympics take part in track and field events. Track events, such as running, test a person's speed. Field events, such as the high jump, long jump and shot put, test how high or far someone can jump or throw an object.
One of the most exciting events in the Olympics is the 100 meter race. More than one hundred years ago, the world record for the men's 100 meter race was 10.6 seconds. However, athletes have run faster and faster. In 1960, the record was 10 seconds. Then at the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Athletics, the record was set at 9.58 seconds. The Olympic motto(格言) “Faster, Higher, Stronger” is what the Olympics are all about.
