Going Back to Its Birthplace
No sporting event takes hold of the world’S attention and imagination like the Olympic
Games The football world Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America；baseball’s World
Series is required viewing in North America；and the world table Tennis Championships attracts
the most interest in Asia．
But the Olympics belong to the whole world．Now，after travelling to 17 countries over 108
years，the summer Games are returning to Athens，the place where the first modern Olympics
was held．
Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement，but also as an honour,
The 16 days between August 13 and 29 will see a record 202 countries compete，up from
Sydney’s 199. Afghanistan is back，having been banned from Sydney because the Taliban
government didn’t let women do sports．There is also a place for newcomers East Timer and
Kiribati
A total of 10．500 athletes will compete in 28 sports，watched by 5 3 million ticket—paying
viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion．
Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as possible．The
Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and Acropolis
monuments．The final event will be a historic men’s marathon following the 0rjgihal route l"un by
Phidippides in 490 BC to bring news of victory over the Persians．
The ancient stadium at Olympia．first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago，will
stage the shot put competitions．And the Panathenian Stadium，where the first modern Olympics
was held，is to host the archery (射箭)events．
If the well—known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games．the 39 new
venues add a modem touch to the city of Athens The main Olympic stadium．with a giant glass
and steel roof，is the landmark(标志)building of the Olympics．
“We believe that we will organize a‘magical’Games．”said Athens President Gianna

Even Intelligent People Can Fail
1 The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how
often they failed．Turn on a light，take a photograph，watch TV，search the web，jet across the
Pacific Ocean，talk on a cellphone(手机)．The innovators who left us these things had to find the
way to success through a maze(错综复杂)of wrong tarns．
2 we have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s
success in heating a thin line to white．hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey，US．He did
mat on October 22．1879．and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common
cardboard alight(点亮着的)in an airless space for 45 hours．Three years later he went on t0 light
up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan，even though only one of the six power plants in
his design worked when he tamed it on，on September 4，1882．
3 “Many of 1ife’s failures．”the supreme innovator said．“are people who did not realize how
close they were to Success when they gave up”Before that magical moment in October 1879．
Edison had worked out no fewer than 3，000 theories about electric light，but in only two cases did
his experiments work．
4 No one likes failure．but the smart innovators 1earn from it Mark Gumz,the head of the
camera maker Olympus America Inc，attributes some of the company’s successes in technology
to understanding failure．His popular phrase is：“Y0n only fail when you quit．”
5 Over two centuries．the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence That is
another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing．Walt
Disney,the founder of Disneyland，was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he
was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1．50 to get his shoes from me
repair shop Pioneering car maker Henry F0rd failed with one company and was forced out of
another before he developed the Model T car．
6 Failure is harder to bear in today’s open．accelerated world．Hardly any innovation works
the first time．But an impatient society and the media want instant success．When American
music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time．a critic said nastily that the only
difference between Geffen Records(Geffen’s company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down)
was that the Titanic had better music Actually，it wasn’t．After four years of losses，Geffen had 80
many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic an to himself．

More Than a Ride to School
The National Education Association claims．“The school bus is a mirror Of the community．”
They further add that,unfortunately,what appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect
the reality of a chosen community．They are right．and sometimes it reflects more!Just ask Liesl
Denson Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl
Bruce Hardy．sch001 bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since
kindergarten Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her
new residence，she requested to ride the same bus
This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus．She says．“It’s been a
great ride so far!My bus driver is so c001 and has always been a good friend and a good listener．
Sometimes when you’re a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr．
Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important．”Her friends Ashley
Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree．

Hardy’s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the
students that ride his bus’’
A1thouse further added．“Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has
been providing quality transportation ever since MY grandfather started the business with one
bus．Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and
safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide
quality service for many more years to come．’’
Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed．Thanks to出ivers like

Don’t Count on Dung
Conservationists(自然保护主义者)may be miscalculating the numbers of the threatened
animals such as elephants．say African and American researchers．The error occurs because of a flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of dung(粪)the creatures leave
behind．
The mistake could 1ead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society(wcs) in New York
Biologist Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca，New York，agrees．‘‘We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect，”says Payne，who
electronically tracks elephants
Counting elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa．So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in a given area．They also need to know the rate at which dung decays Because it’s extremely difficult to determine these rates．however，researchers counting elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established elsewhere
But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region to region
depending on the climate and environment Using the wrong values can lead the census astray
(离开正道)，says Plumptre
He and his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the forests of Cameroon They found that the dung decayed between 55 and 65 per cent more slowly than the dung in the rainforests of neighbouring Gabon．If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon，they would probably find more elephants than are actually around．
This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from
decay rates calculated locally，says Plumptre“However accurate your dung density estimate
might be．the decay rate can severely affect the result”
Plumptre also says that the dung—pile census should be carried out over a region similar in size to an elephant’s natural range The usual technique of monitoring only small，protected areas distorts numbers because elephants move in and out of these regions，he says“If the elephant population increases within the protected area，you can not determine whether 1t is a real increase or whether it is due to elephants moving in because they are being poached(入侵偷猎)outside．”
Plumptre says that similar problems may also affect other animal census studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests，tracks or burrows(地洞)
36 The word“threatened”in the first sentence of the first paragraph could be best replaced by
A ‘‘endangered”
B “frightened”
C “killed”
D “angered”
37 Why do researchers estimate elephant numbers in an area by counting dung piles?
A Because elephants are difficult to catch
B Because it is not possible to count elephants from a plane．
C Because it is not possible to keep track of elephants．
D Because elephants are shy animals
38 Piles of dung can’t be relied upon when it comes to estimating elephant numbers because
A they are different in size
B they scatter an over the region．
C they are different in decay rate．
D they are different in quality．
39 According to Plumptre，the region over which a dung—pile census is carried out should be
A small enough
B well protected．
C carefully monitored．
D large enough
40 The first word“He”in paragraph 6 refers to
A Andrew Plumptre
B Katy Payne．
C Anthony Chifu Nchanji．
D the writer of the article．

More Than Just Money
When Patricia Rochester decided to go back to school after ten years as a staff nurse at
Toronto Western Hospital．her employer not only cheered her on．but also Paid her tuition and
gave her a day off with pay every week to study．Throughout her years at the hospital，Rochester
has also taken workshops on everything from coaching peers to career development——courses
that she believes have helped her advance at work．“I’m now head of the mentoring(指导)
program for new hires．students and staff nurses．”she says．“There’s a lot of room for personal improvement here．”
