The Olympic Games have changed a lot since they were first held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then, winners got silver medals instead of gold ones. Sounds strange, doesn’t it People thought silver was better than gold. Also, no women ran in the first Olympics, and only 13 countries took part. China was not one of them. But those aren’t the only differences.
The Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin(顾拜旦)was the man who really wanted the Games to start again. His ideas for the modern Olympics came from the Greek Games thousands of years ago. He hoped they would help to bring world peace.
But it took time for the Olympics to become popular. Not many people thought they were good ideas in 1896, so they were put together poorly. Some tourists even ran in races! Today, more than 10,000 people from about 200 countries take part.
In the early years of the Olympics, there weren’t many sports. Most events were track and field, much like in the first Greek Games. Events usually took place in the Panathenaic Stadium(雅典体育场), and you can still see them today. Players did not wear their countries’ colours in 1896. Their clothes were not like the uniforms people wear today. In fact, players weren’t even picked by their countries back then. They travelled to the Games by themselves and had to use their own money to take part. New sports have been put into the Olympics over time, like badminton and table tennis. Some older games are no longer played, like tug-of-war(拔河). It would be hard to see all the events at this year’s Games, There will be over 300!
Swimming was different in 1896. There was a 1,200-metre race in the sea. A boat took swimmers into the sea and left them to swim back to land. Sometimes rough water made the race dangerous. The first person ever to win that race was Hungarian(匈牙利的)Alfred Hajos. He seemed happy just to finish. “I just wanted to live. That’s more important than winning.” he said. When people or teams won events in 1896, they didn’t get the same things as now. They got olive wreaths(橄榄枝花环)to put on their heads and silver medals.

Most students like junk food(垃圾食品)because it is tasty. Whether it should be allowed in schools or not is still a question. Just as every coin has two sides, junk food in schools has its advantages and disadvantages.
Most junk food is quite cheap, tasty and easy to get. If a child forgets to carry a lunch bag, he or she will go hungry for most of the day. Here, junk food helps him or her to have something to eat. Moreover, it is possible for students to save a lot of time.
Sometimes having junk food instead of a part of one’s main diet is considered to be OK. It doesn’t have a big influence on a person’s health if someone only eats from time to time.
Compared with some junk food with high oil and salt, food like potato chips or juices can be made in school dining halls. So students don’t have to choose unhealthy food from outside.
However, too much oil, salt and sugar in junk food are harmful to human bodies. Some of them cannot be broken down in the body. If someone eats too much junk food, it can lead to obesity(肥胖)and other health problems like heart trouble, high blood pressure and so on.
Usually, children have snacks between classes. There is a sudden increase of sugar, so they get a lot of energy and become too active. But when classes begin, the effects(作用)of snacks begin to reduce, they become slow. This causes low energy levels and lack of concentration(注意力). It has a bad influence on a student’s performance during classes.
In all, it is important that parents and schools should provide their kids with healthy and balanced food and make them know the disadvantages of junk food. Then they will make healthier choices for themselves.
