1 . Baron Pierre de Coubertin was a Frenchman.At his time sports were not taught in French schools. De Coubertin believed that sports should go hand in hand with studies. He had an idea. His idea was to begin the Olympics all over again.
Sports teachers of other countries liked de Coubertin's ideas. So in 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens(雅典), Greece.Since then the Olympics have been held once every four years, except three times，when there were wars.
The modern Olympic games have many foot races and field sports programs. The longest race in the games is called marathon．
Before the start of the Olympic Games, runners carry lighted torch(火炬) through many nations towards the stadium(运动场) where the games will be held. These sportsmen are from different countries. Yet they work together to carry the Olympic torch. It is passed from runner to runner. When the last runner enters the stadium, he or she places the torch in a special(专门的) basin filled with oil. It catches fire. It is then, only then, that the Olympic Games can begin.
The Olympic flame(火焰) burns throughout the games. It is the flame of peace.

3 . In ancient Greece，there were four major athletic meetings and the Olympian meeting played the most important part in the lives of the people.As time passed，the Olympian meeting gradually lost its local character and became first a national event and then international.No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go but some official records date from 776 BC.the Games took place every four years on the plain byMount Olympus.Thousands of people came from all parts of the Greek world to watch the games.The winner of the foot race had the great honor of giving his name to the year of his history.
After a long history of almost 1，200 years，the Games were stopped for religious（宗教的）reasons. It was then decided in 1896 to start the Olympic Games again. The meeting was held in Athens and 311 athletes from 13 countries took part in it but the idea of such an international meeting attracted the world's attention. After the 1908 London Olympics, many nations sent their best athletes. Although the Games have been time and again threatened by some unfavorable political events, the Games have taken place every four years.
Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. As the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world, athletes from different countries play games together and this provides them with good chances to learn to live together. The friendly feelings in the Olympic Village make people think of the world as one big family. The Olympic Games will be hosted in Beijing in 2008.

5 . The Olympic flame
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics，where a flame burned at the altar(祭坛)of Zeus(宙斯)throughout competition.It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam(阿姆斯特丹) Games，and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem，chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games，proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay.The idea was adopted(采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site(场所) of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected(反射) off a carved(雕刻) mirror.
Olympic motto
“Citius，altius，fortius”is a Latin phrase meaning“swifter，higher，stronger”，which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris.Dideon was the headmaster of Arcueil College，and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements(成就) of students at the school.He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand School，where the Latin words were carved in the stone above the main entrance.
Olympic oath
“In the name of all competitors，I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games，respecting and abiding(遵守) by the rules that govern them，in the true spirit of sportsmanship，for the glory(荣誉) of sport and the honor of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin，the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation(主办国) while holding a corner of the Olympic flag.The athlete’s oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games.A judge from the host country also speaks the oath，with slightly different wording(措辞)．
