Questions:

（ 1 ） When will Beijing hold the Olympics games?

The largest sports meeting

　　The Olympics are held every two years. They alternate(交替) between the winter and the summer Olympics: the winter games. Then two years later, the summer games; then two years later the winter games again. Athletes from around the world compete（竞争） against each other for gold（金）, silver（银）, and bronze（铜） medals. The Olympics is a way to bring the countries of the world together in friendship.
　　The summer Olympic games include such sports as track and field （田径）, gymnastics（体操）, swimming and tennis. Sports in the winter Olympics include ski jumping（跳高滑雪）, figure skating（花样滑冰）, bobsledding, hockey（曲棍球）, and snowboarding（滑雪板）. 
　　Many Olympic events take place in stadium（露天大型运动场）. The opening and closing ceremonies（闭幕式） also take place in the stadium. A flame is lit during the opening of the summer and winter Olympic games. It stays lit until the closing ceremonies. 
　　The Olympic summer games are being held in Beijing in 2008. Perhaps you, or someone you know, will be taking part in the largest sports meeting in the world!
