(2012 四川卷)
The modern Olympics can date back to Ancient Greece . At that time, women are not allowed to take part in ,nor could the Olive Wreath, which stood for peace ,be sent to athletes. Nowadays, any athlete who has reached the standard can be admitted as competitor.
It’s a great honor as well as a responsibility to host the Olympics, that’s why many countries advertise on the poster. Though different from each other, the motto of Olympic Games is still about “Swifter, Higher and Stronger”.
