Presentation
Ms. Liu: Yesterday I asked you to do some research on the history of the Olympics. Did anyone find out when the Olympics began
Wang Mei: Yes, I searched it on the Internet. The year was 776 BC. That was about 2 800 years ago.
Ms. Liu: Excellent! Did anyone find out where the ancient Olympics began
Li Ming: I know that! They started in Greece.
Ms. Liu: That's right. The ancient Greeks wanted to have the best athletes compete against each other. They held the event every four years in Olympia.
Wang Mei: But those first Olympics were very different from today's. Women couldn't take part in the games.
Ms. Liu: Good point, Wang Mei. Married women couldn't even watch the games!
Li Ming: Now both men and women can take part in the Olympics! I also found out that the modern Olympics began in 1896 and took place every four years. In 2008, China hosted the 29th Olympic Games. It was so exciting!
Wang Mei: The ancient Greeks would be amazed at how the Olympic Games have grown to become a world event!
Ms. Liu: One thing has not changed about the games—athletes compete in a spirit of fair play. They also represent their countries at the highest level.

Language points
1. Did anyone find out when the Olympics began （教材P86）
find out 找出; 查清楚 多指通过调查、询问、研究之后搞清楚、弄明白，通常含有经过困难、曲折的经历最终找到或弄清楚较难找到的、抽象的东西的含义。
e. g. Can you find out when the flight will take off
你能查出这次航班何时起飞吗
e.g. I can’t find my pen. Can I borrow yours
我找不到我的钢笔了。我能借一下你的吗
find 找到，发现。 强调“找”的结果，其宾语往往是某件丢失的东西或某个人。
look for寻找。指有目的地寻找，强调“找”这个动作，结果如何不清楚。
e.g. The young couple are looking for their lost baby everywhere.
这对年轻的夫妇正在到处寻找他们丢失的孩子。
2. . . . wanted to have the best athletes compete against each other.（教材P86）
compete against 与……竞争; 对抗
compete against/with sb. 与某人竞争
compete against/with sb. for sth.为某事与某人竞争
e. g. We can’t compete against/with them on price.
我们在价格上无法与他们竞争。
John is competing against Mike for the first place.
约翰正在和迈克竞争第一名。
3. They held the event every four years in Olympia.（教材P86）
every four years 每四年
every 和基数词、序数词、other 或few 连用, 表示时间或空间的间隔, 意为“每……; 每隔……”。
every＋基数词＋复数名词＝every ＋序数词＋单数名词
e. g. every few months 每几个月
He comes here every three days. =He comes here every third day. 他每三天来这儿一次。
4. Married women couldn’t even watch the games! （教材P86）
married adj. 结婚的; 已婚的
be/get married to 表示“与……结婚”。
e. g. One of my friends got married to an American boy.
我的一个朋友和一个美国男孩结婚了。
拓展: marry 是married 的动词形式, 表示“嫁; 娶”, 后面直接跟宾语。
e.g. She wants to marry a rich man. 她想嫁个有钱人。
marry 是短暂性动词，不能与一段时间连用，若与时间段连用，需用be married 替代。
e. g. My parents have been married for forty years.
我的父母已经结婚40 年了。
5. Now both men and women can take part in the Olympics!（教材P86）
take part in 参加 part 前通常不用冠词，但是如果part前有形容词修饰，要加不定冠词。
e. g. He doesn’t take an active part in many school activities.
他不积极参加许多的学校活动。
辨析: take part in, join 与join in
① take part in 指主动参加会议或群众性活动等, 并在活动中发挥作用。
② join 指加入某个团体、组织或某个人群中, 并成为其成员之一。
③ join in 多指参加小规模的活动, 如球赛、游戏等, 常用于日常口语, 可以和take part in 互换。
6. I also found out that the modern Olympics began in 1896 and took place every four years. （教材P86）
take place 发生

7. The ancient Greeks would be amazed at how the Olympic Games have grown to become a world event! （教材P86）
be amazed at. . . 惊讶于…… 相当于be surprised at...

We were amazed to hear the news.
听到这条新闻, 我们感到很惊讶。
