Paris 2024 Olympic bid directors rejected on Wednesday the notion of hosting the 2028 Games, saying their aim was the 2024 edition, and the rival bidder Los Angeles said the same.
The International Olympic Committee had been planning to resolve the 2024 competition by offering the losing candidate the chance to host the 2028 edition. The result of the 2024 and 2028 editions will come out at the same time this September.
"We are working on 2024 and there's no reason for us to talk about 2028—we have nothing to offer for that, no project and no willing," Etienne Thobois, Paris 2024 bid director told AFP. "We would have technical difficulties with the Olympic Village to start with," Thobois said, explaining deals were in place for 2024 for a site next to the national stadium that would be hard to extend by four years.
Paris bid spokesman and multi-Olympic gold medal winner Tony Estanguet also rejected the notion of hosting the Games in 2028 at a meeting in London on Tuesday. "There will be no Olympics in Paris in 2028," the former champion canoeist said. "It has always been the deal with our partners that this bid was about 2024. It would be impossible for our project to be put off to 2028."
"Los Angeles is the right city at this important time for the Olympic Movement and is only bidding for 2024," a statement from Los Angeles 2024 said on Tuesday. "With all permanent venues already built and 88% public support, only Los Angeles 2024 offers the lowest-risk and truly sustainable solution for the future of the Olympic Movement in 2024 and beyond."

A.The host right of 2024 Olympic Games.

3.Who is Etienne Thobois
A.Paris bid spokesman.
B.Paris 2024 bid director.
C.An Olympic gold medal winner.
4.Why wouldn't Paris agree to the IOC's suggestion
A.Because they have told their partners to host it in 2024.

六、 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is a fantastic story. It is about a kind andwarm-hearted boy who lives alone. Once Huckleberrymet an escaping slave named Jim. Soon they were on their journey of looking for freedom. Of course, they met difficulties, danger and anything else. But they succeeded at last.
The story is about two boys growing up. It was really good, so I couldn't put it down. I specially like the brave and smart boy Huckleberry Finn in the book.
