How much do you know about these sports?
Boxing became an Olympic sport in 688 BC and is still popular today. The boxer uses his or her fists to punch the opponent’s head and body with the aim to knock the opponent out. Boxing is popular worldwide as a spectator sport and generates millions of US dollars through ticket revenue, merchandise, TV rights and pay-per-view packages of important boxing matches. Some people view boxing as archaic and an unnecessary display of violence while its supporters emphasize its self-expression and health benefits. Boxing is a good way to keep fit, but there is much speculation about the possible injuries, particularly to the brain, that can be incurred during boxing matches. Such speculation has resulted in tighter regulations over the safety of the boxers. Wrestling is an ancient sport and often appeared as the main event in the earliest Olympic Games. Wrestling exists in many different styles but only two styles feature in the Olympics, namely freestyle and Greco-Roman. Greco-Roman wrestling allows the use of only the participants’ upper bodies; however, freestyle allows the use of legs.
In your opinion, do you think these sports are too violent and fierce?
Yes, sometimes they are. Competitors have to be aware of the safety precautions and wear protective gloves or padded helmets.

No matter what kind of sport you take part in, what are the basic qualities you need to possess in order to be successful in that sport?
If you are part of a sports team, what kinds of things should you pay special attention to?
3. Form your own groups to discuss the three questions below the pictures, and then I will ask some groups to report your answers to the class.
Sample answers
1. As we can see, throughout the World sports enjoy such popularity nowadays. There are many reasons for it. First of all, physical exercise can refresh people if they are exhausted after a day’s work. An increasing number of people, especially those who are mainly involved in office work, are complaining about sore muscles, stiff necks and blurred vision. There’s no better way to reinvigorate yourself than working out in a gym or participating in outdoor sports. Secondly, it seems that many people want to lose weight. For women, staying slim is very important. Men like keeping fit and being muscular. Thirdly, people’s quality of life. Exercising regularly tops the list of advice that health experts offer us to improve our quality of life.
2. As a member of a health club, I play sports every week. I have access to all the gym facilities for free. On weekends, I meet my friends in the club and we have a lot of fun together. Normally, we start at 10 in the morning. We usually play squash for a few hours. In the afternoon, we go swimming
3. Jogging is my favorite sport. The reason for my loving it is that I think it has many benefits. To begin with, it enhances blood circulation and strengthens my lungs. Every evening, I jog for half an hour. Secondly, I feel totally refreshed. If I have a bad day at school and am really stressed, jogging helps me relax and pulls me out of my bad mood. Lastly, after jogging, I can concentrate better on my school work the next day.

Step 4: Post-reading activities
1.Go over Part E and discuss the questions in pairs.
Answers
1. I think the Olympic Games help countries live peacefully side by side. The Olympic motto is ‘Swifter, Higher, and Stronger’. Athletes come from all around the world to compete in the Olympics. They each represent their own country and try to win medals for that country. However, it is not all about winning. Competing in the Olympic is a great honor and it is a great opportunity to meet talented athletes from all over the work. It is also a great opportunity to build relationships with other countries live peacefully, side by side.
2. I think Deng Yaping is the greatest Olympic athlete because she is unarguably the world’s greatest female table tennis player and has won virtually every female title in almost all the word table tennis competitions. The list of Deng’s accomplishments is long and impressive: four-time Olympic champion in table tennis, twice in singles at Barcelona and Atlanta, and twice in doubles with her partner Qiao Hong, in 1992 and 1996. As an experienced player she has nerves of steel and a determination to succeed. At 1.49 meters tall she is the greatest female player of all times. I admire her very much.
3. They set a great example. They work hard, are determined, strong-willed and have great confidence and perseverance. They show us that if you put your mind to something and work hard at it, you will succeed.
2. Let’s divide into several groups and discuss the following questions:
What is the spirit of the Olympic Games? What can you learn from it?
Do you think that “Swifter, Higher, Stronger” is a good motto not only for sports but also for life in general? Why?
Do you agree with the saying “The more gold medals a country wins, the stronger the country is.”? Why or why not?
Recently, there was news about athletes using drugs in the Olympic Games. What do you think of this? What can be done to prevent this kind of thing from happening again?
3. Next, let’s have a class debate on the following subject:
Hosting the Olympic Games is a great honor for a country, but at the same time it costs a lot of money. Do you think hosting the Olympics will be a good opportunity to develop the host country’s economy and tourism, or will it be a heavy burden on the economy?
●Word power
Step1: Brainstorming
Everyone knows that Liu Xiang was the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men’s 110-mere hurdles. Can you think of any words to describe him?
He is a hard-working sportsperson. He is a well-trained athlete.
Please analyze the part of each part of the words on the blackboard
hard-working (adj.):hard(adv.)
working (v-ing)
sportsperson (n.): sports(n.)
person (n.)
well-trained (adj.): well(adv.)
trained (v-ed)
We can create new words by putting two or more words together, can you think about words that are created this way?
Step 2: Compound words
1. A compound word is made when two words are joined together to form a new word. Read the dialogue on page 26 and use your own words to define the compound words.
First I will give you some examples to help you understand.
handbag, a small bag carried on a person’s hand;
long-lasting, that can last for a long time;
teacup, a cup that contains tea;
sightseeing, the activity of seeing sights as a tourist;
three-day, lasting for three days
English words are derived from the combination of two different words. Think about the following questions:
When you come across unfamiliar words, do you often use the knowledge of word formation to guess the meaning of the new word? If so, can you think of some examples?
2. Read the instructions, the tables and the formation rules of compound adjectives and compound nouns. Think about the following question:
How are these words formed?
Formation Compound adj. Formation Compound adj.
adj. + n. +ed kind-hearted; warm-blooded;
snow-capped;
old-fashioned n. +v-ed air-conditioned;

3. Let’s read Part A the Reading section on page 96 of your Workbook and answer the questions below it.
● Grammar and Usage
Step 1: General introduction
For reference:
1. If we talk about the ability someone has now, we use the modal verb can.
2. If we talk about the ability someone had in the past, we usually use the modal verb could.
3. If we want to talk about the ability someone will have in the future, we will use the form of the modal verb will /shall be able to.
4. Modal verbs should/ought to (sometimes have to) are always used to give advice or tell someone that he or she is under obligation to do something.
5. If we want to express that it is necessary for us to do something, modal verb must is often used.
6. Model verbs may/might, can/could are often used to ask for permission.
Examples:
1. Now, many of us can speak English quite well, but a few years ago, we couldn’t.
2. Shall we be able to be admitted the famous university for further study in a year?
3.You should/ought to learn enough knowledge to serve the people.
4. Every one present at the meeting must look into the matter careful and give as much advice as possible on how to solve the problem.
5. As a student, you have to obey the rules of the school.
6. I’m sorry I am late for class. May/Can I come in?
Step 2: Practice
1. Now look at the blackboard, I’d like you to explain the meanings of the different modal verbs used in this sentence:
I might/may/could/should/ought to/will/must watch the TV programme tonight.
When might is used, it shows that the speaker is uncertain whether he or she will do something.
When may is used, it shows that the speaker is s bit more certain than when might is used.
Could is more certain than may, but less certain than should and ought to. Should and ought to are more certain.
When we use will, we mean we are quite certain that we will do something.
If we use must, we are almost certain to do something.
2. If you want to have a look at your friend’s book, what do you say? (Can I have a look at your book?)
What does your friend say to you? (‘Of course, you can.’ Or ‘sorry/No, you can’t)
So can is also used to ask for permission, especially in informal or spoken English.
3. Now read Part 1 on page 28 to find out how modal verbs are used to talk about ability, obligation, certainty and permission. Pay attention to the three arrows that illustrate the degrees of obligation, certainty and permission when modal verbs are used.
4. Read part 2 and use modal verbs to make requests, suggestions or offers, and give advice. e.g.:
Will/Can you read the sentence once more? (To make a request.)
Shall we watch a film tonight? (To make a suggestion)
I will help you if you have any problems (To make an offer)
The manager is not in now. You should come back at three o’clock (To give advice)
5. Now please read the instructions for the exercise on page 29. Then complete the article individually and I will check the answers later.
Answers:
(1) must (2) has to (3) must (4) must (5) should
(6) ought to (7) could (8) may (9) could
6. Read Part 4 on page 28 and try your best to understand why the continuous form or the perfect form is used with a modal verb in the example sentences. First I’ll give you some examples:
John isn’t here to attend the party. He must be reviewing his notes for the big exam tomorrow. (The speaker thinks that John is reviewing his notes now.)
Tom knows nothing about the subject. He can’t have been at the lecture yesterday. (The speaker is sure that Tom did not go to the lecture yesterday.)
The money is gone. Who could have taken it? (The speaker does not know who has taken the money.)
Step 3: Comparison of some pairs of model verbs
comparison can, be able to shall, will need, dare mustn’t, needn’t
1. Read Part 1 on page 30 and find the differences between can and be able to.
•Be able to is more formal and less common than can when referring to ability.
•Be able to can be used in different tenses or after other modal verbs, for example, will /shall be able to , would/should be able to , have/has /had been able to, must/may/might be able to.
•Be able to can be used after the infinitive marker to.
•The past form of be able to is was/were able to.
•Can is more common and informal than be able to when referring to ability
•Can can be used to talk about a possible future action.
•The past form of can is could.
Now please make some sentences with be able to and can, using different tenses, or after modal verbs or in a to-infinitive.
2. Read Part 2 and then complete the chart below.
Shall Will
In affirmatives expressing promises expressing determinations or decisions
In questions making offers or suggestions for third person asking about willingness for the second and third person
Make some sentences using shall or will.
Let’s complete the dialogue in Part B on page 31, and then read the dialogue in pairs to check your answers.
Answers
B (1) Shall (2) shall (3) will (4) will/shall
(5) will (6) will/shall (7) shall/will
3. Read Part 3 which explains the use of mustn’t and needn’t and then make sentences with mustn’t and needn’t.
4. Read Part 4 which explains when to use need or dare as modal verbs
5. Read the instructions for Part A on page 31, and then complete the passage.
Answers
A (1) can (2) dare (3) can/could (4) may/might/could
(5) mustn’t/shouldn’t/can’t (6) mustn’t/shouldn’t/can’t (7) can (8)needn’t
For reference
Modals
Words like can, will, may, must, and a few others are called modals. Modal auxiliary verbs help other verbs express a meaning or an idea. Some common uses of the modals are these:
Ability: He can speak English now.
He couldn’t speak English a year ago.
I’m not able to come to the game on Friday.
Permission: All passengers may now board.
We can board now.
Obligation: You must fasten your seat belts. (strong)
You should pay attention.
(weak)
You out to pay attention.
Possibility: It may rain.
How could I forget an import thing like that?
He can’t /must have known the result.
Meanings similar to those of the modals can often be conveyed by real verb forms:
He has to =…must…
is able to speak English. =…can…
is allowed to =…may…
is supposed to =…should…
(be) able to ability, less used than can
e.g. I’m not able to come to the game on Friday.

Step 1: completing a new training schedule
You will be able to improve your listening skills by listening to a conversation between a coach and an athlete. Try to use the skills your have learnt in Skills building 1.
1. You are to know what you are going to listen to with the help of the instruction on page33. Read the training schedule and make some predictions if possible. Any new words to you?
Do you know what the word ‘decreased’ means here? We know the meaning of the word ‘increased’, which means ‘to get bigger in size or amount. ‘Decreased’ has the opposite meaning of ‘increased’. So what does it mean? (‘Decreased’ here means ‘to become less or fewer’)
Look at the word ‘per’. Can you guess the meaning of it? We often use the word together with words such as ‘day’, ‘week’ or ‘hour’. We can use this word in the sentence: The car can travel at 79 miles per hour. ‘Per hour’ means ‘every hour’ or ‘an hour’. From this, we know that ‘per day’ means ‘every day’ or ‘a day’.
After reading the sentence ‘Sports massages help to make muscles…’ can you guess the meaning of the word ‘massage’? Here is another sentence: ‘She gave me a back massage to help ease the pain.’ What do you think ‘massage’ mean? (‘Massage’ means ‘the action of rubbing or pressing part of one’s body’.)
2. Now please listen to the recording and complete the training schedule individually, and then check your answers in pairs to see if you got the same answers.
Tapescript
Coach: hi! How are you today?

Coach: You need to increase that to two hours a day.
Athlete: Two hours?! What will I do during the extra hour every day?
Coach: You’ll have to do some strength-building exercises twice a week.
Athlete: What does that mean?
Coach: Strength training is doing exercises with weights, in a gym.
Athlete: Ok, that’s not too bad. What else?
Coach: You ought to have a sports massage every week.
Athlete: That sounds more like it! How will the massages help me? Will they make my muscles more flexible?
Coach: Not necessarily more flexible, but certainly more relaxed. You also have to do flexibility and balance training three times a week.
Athlete: Does that mean running and working out in the gym?
Coach: No, it means exercise such as yoga. It helps you focus your mind and train your body.
Athlete: It sounds tiring!
Coach: Yes, but you do get eight hours of sleep every night. Now, about your diet…
Athlete: So what should I eat?
Coach: First of all, lots of grains. That means things like rice and cereal.
And you can only eat white meat, such as chicken and fish. Red meat is not allowed.
Athlete: What? I love fast food. Does that mean I can’t eat hamburgers any more?
Coach: I’m afraid so.
Athlete: Oh, no! And Pizza?
Coach: No, you shouldn’t eat that either. But you must eat three servings of vegetables per day and for servings of fruit.
Athlete: Okay, I can do that. And what should I drink?
Coach: You have to drink ten glasses of water a day. And no soft drinks.
Athlete: Wow, that’s lot to drink. Should I only drink water?
Coach: No, you can also drink tea. But you should make sure it doesn’t have any caffeine in it. Do you think you can follow these guidelines?

Xu Haifeng Deng Yaping Liu Xiang
III. A retold version of the text
The ancient games began in the year 776BC.They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years until AD 394. At the ancient games, the athletes were all men and they had to compete with nothing on. Unmarried women were allowed to take part in their own competition at a separate festival in honor of the Greek god Zeus.
The modern Olympic Games were first held in 1896, in Athens. They were restarted by a Frenchman, whose dream was that the Olympic Games would make it possible for countries and people to live peacefully side by side.
There are large numbers of heroes in the history of the Olympic Games. The most famous boxer of all time was Muhammad Ali. He returned gladly to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony. Another superstar is Michael Jordan, who was the highest scorer for the gold-medal-winning USA basketball team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Haile Gebrselassie from Ethiopia is widely recognized as the greatest distance runner of all time. Chinese athletes have also made important contributions to the Olympic Games. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men’s 110-metre hurdles. We are looking forward to seeing more of the Olympians in the coming Olympic Games.
●Section 2: Background information about the Olympic Games
I. History of the Olympic Games
Pindar, the Greek poet wrote in the 5th century BC: “As in the daytime there is no star in the sky warmer and brighter than the sun, likewise there is no competition greater than the Olympic Games”.
According to historic records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian Gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia. Initially they had a religious character and combined a number of ancient sporting events, many of which were based on ancient Greek myths.
The ancient Games actually occupied an important position in the life of the Greek ancestors. An Olympiad was a time unit, measuring the four-year interval between two Games. Participants came to compete from every corner of the Greek world aiming at the ultimate prize: an olive wreath and a "heroic" return to their city-states. But apart from the glorious victory, it was the Olympic values themselves which accorded special meaning to the Games: noble competition and the effort to combine body, will, and mind in a balanced whole.
As the Games developed, so did a set of procedures such as a standardized schedule of events and the practice of the Olympic Truce. They continued for nearly 12 centuries, until Emperor Theodosius decreed, in 393 AD, that all such ‘pagan cults’ be banned. He asserted that the Games placed an excessive public focus on athletic and spiritual affairs. The games were abolished until the 19th Century. Intellectuals such as Evangels Zappers and Demetrios Vikelas who believed in the spirit of noble contests and the Olympic ideals, lent their voices and efforts to the revival of the Olympic Games.
However, it was French Baron Pierre de Coubertin who orchestrated the re-establishment of the Games, by advocating the marriage of sports and Greek classicism, leading the way to the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896.
The Greek public embraced the revival, and joined the efforts to organize the Games. Any financial difficulties faced by the Greek state at the time, were met through the mobilization of people and benefactors alike. The marble renovation of the ancient Panathinaikon Stadium that hosted the first modern Games was financed by George Averoff, a Greek benefactor from Northern Greece.
With the revival of the Olympic Games, a number of symbolic Olympic Traditions were also developed and established (i.e. the Olympic Anthem, the Olympic Creed, the Olympic Flag, the Olympic Flame and Torch).
Over the years, the Olympic Games traveled to different countries and continents, and now finally in 2004, they returned to the country of their birth and the city of their revival for the hosting of the XXVIII Modern Olympic Games.

III. Olympic Medals
Olympic medals are awarded to those individuals or teams placing first, second and third in each event.
The first place winner is bestowed a gold-plated medal of silver, which is commonly referred to as the “gold medal”. Second and third places receive medals of silver and bronze. The silver used in the first and second place medals must be at least 92.5% pure. The “gold” medals must be gilded with at least six grams of pure gold.
Medals also carry the name of the sport contested. All competitors receive a diploma and commemorative medals for their participation in the Olympic Games.
IV. The Olympic flame
The most revered and visible symbol of the Olympic Games competition is the Olympic Flame.
In the modern year, the Olympic Flame first appeared at the 1928 Amsterdam Games.
The tradition of the Olympic Torch Relay, which culminates in the lighting of the Olympics cauldron at the opening ceremony of the Games, dates to the 1936 Berlin Games.
The first torch relay was created to symbolize the link between the ancient and modern Olympic Games. The flame was lit in a ceremony at Olympia, Greece. From there, 3000 runners carried the torch through seven countries to Berlin. The relay was timed so that the flame arrived at the stadium at the precise moment required. Ever since the lighting of the Olympic cauldron has become the most hallowed moment of the Olympic Games.
V. The Olympic Rings
The Olympic rings are the official symbol of the Olympic movement. There are five interlacing rings of the colors blue, yellow, black, green and red. The rings are set upon a white background.
The colors themselves do not represent any single continent. The colors were chosen because at least one of these colors is found in the flag of every nation.
These five rings represent the five parts of the world. This is a real international emblem. The Olympic rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes throughout the world at the Olympic Games.
The original Olympic flag was made in 1913 in Paris. The flag is three meters long and two meters wide. It first flew over an Olympic stadium at the 1920 Antwerp Games. The original flag also carried the Olympic motto, “Citius, Altius, Fortius” means “Faster, Higher, Stronger”.
VI. The Athens Olympic Games
108 years later, Olympic Games returned to its hometown ——Athens in Greece. It is an exciting moment for all the Greeks.
  On August 13th 2004 of local time, when the Olympic Games’ flame was lit, people all over the world were cheering. In their deep heart, they believe it would be successful. That night in the main stadium, people from different countries enjoyed the same pleasure, they knew in the following 16 days, they would live in peace and harmony, without poverty, discrimination and political problems. In other words, all they needed to do was showing themselves completely to the world.
Olympic Games had developed much, as its slogan goes “faster, higher and stronger ”. The 2004 Athens Olympic Games had the largest scale in its history. There were 202 countries and regions participating in it this time, compared with 13 countries in 1986. What’s more, more and more countries could get medals in the competition. As to China, we had had breakthrough both in gold medals and the place in medal rank, getting the second place with 32 gold medals. It attributed to the progress in our weak item, especially in the hurdle race, Liu Xiang won the first medal in China’s dash race. Of course, there were other new records were made. For example, tennis, swimming, boxing and so on. So I feel confident that our Chinese athletes will do better in 2008 Olympic Games.
Another pattern in this Olympic Games was that the real strength between the nations was getting nearer, so it valued in its watching. Sometimes, the places in a competition differed in very slight points. For the first time, I felt the competition is so intense. For example, in the final of the volleyball. I admit that we Chinese have done a perfect job, they win the game by their hard working and strong determination, but at the same time, I admire Russia team, they have done their best. I can hardly forget the stimulating moments coming one after another, I can hardly forget the tears: happy and sorrowful. I remember clearly that on that day I dropped tears for the first time. There were many other touching scenes in this Olympic Games, which is more common than former ones. The 2004 Athens Olympic Games
