The Greatest Show on Earth
The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Every four years,a hundred or more
countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport.As many as 6,000 people take
part in over 20 sports.For the winners,there are gold medals and glory.But there is honor,too,for all who
compete,win or lose.That is the spirit of the Olympics一to take part is what matters.
The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the
opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it wa。
in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held一the host
country一marches in last.
The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the
host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an
oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.
The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule
is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these
sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport一riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-
country running. Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for
national teams.
More and more women are taking part in the games.They first competed in 1900,in tennis and golf,
which are no longer held in the Olympics.Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But it was
not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women.Now,they compete in all but half a
dozen of the sports.In horse riding,shooting,and boat racing,they may compete in the same events as the
men. What are the most important events in the Olympic Games?

What Makes a Soccer Player Great?Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the bestEnglish soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others. In the last paragraph the statement“only one became Pele”indicates that______.
