Read the following passage and answer the questions.THE OLYMPIC GAMESEvery four years people all over the world watch the Olympic Games. It is a time for allkinds of people to unite in peace. Some of them join together to compete for gold medals.Millions of other people watch them on television.Why do we have the Olympics? How did they begin? The first Olympic Games were inGreece in 776 B.C. There was only one event. People ran a race the length of the stadium. TheGames lasted one day.Slowly people added more events. The Games were only for men, and women could not evenwatch them. Only Greeks competed. They came from all parts of the Greek world. The time ofthe Games was a time of peace, and the government let everyone travel safely. Kings competedagainst common people. The winners became national heroes.The first modern Games were in 1896 in Athens. The Greeks built a new stadium for thecompetition. Athletes from several countries competed. Then there were Olympics every fouryears in different cities in Europe and the United States until 1952. After that they were held inMelbourne, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Montreal besides in European cities. Each year there wereathletes from more nations. The first Winter Olympics were in 1924. The athletes compete inskiing and other winter sports.Today there must be Olympic Games every four years. The Games must have at least fifteenevents, and they cannot last more than sixteen days. There is no age limit people of any age cancompete.The competitors must not be professionals. They must be amateurs. The athletes compete forgold medals. The winners are still national heroes, as they were in the early Olympic Games inGreece.In 1956, Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon boycotted the Games. They did not compete in the Gamesbecause several countries took the Suez Canal from Egypt that year. Other countries boycottedthe Games in 1964 and 1976. In 1980, the United States and other countries boycotted theGames in Moscow. In 1984, the Soviet Union and other countries boycotted the Games in LosAngeles. How can the nations of the world solve this problem? Maybe the Games should be inGreece every year, where they began. Then athletes from all over the world could competewithout any boycotts.Questions1.
