“Where do you want to go?” it asked.

飞毯问：“你想去哪儿?”

戴茜立刻回答道：“我想去看看濒临灭绝的野生动物。”

she said. “Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater.”

她说：“请带我到遥远的地方，在那里我可以发现为制作这件毛衣而提供毛绒的那种动物。”

At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet.

飞毯立刻起飞了，带她到了中国的西藏。

There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad.

在那里，戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。

It said, “We’re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs.

它说：“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛，我们正在被屠杀。

Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.

我们的毛被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。

As a result, we are now an endangered species.”

因此，我们现在濒临灭绝了。”

At that Daisy cried, “I’m sorry I didn’t know that.

I wonder what is being done to help you.

我不知道为了帮助你们正在采取什么措施。

Flying carpet, please show me a place where there’s some wildlife protection.”

So the government decided to help.

A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself.

一只猴子一边擦着身体一边望着他们。

“What are you doing?”asked Daisy.

当我发现一种千足虫，便把它擦在身上。

It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes.

You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together.

No rainforest, no animals, no drugs.”

没有雨林，就没有动物，也就没有药物了。”

Daisy was amazed.

戴茜很惊讶。

“Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug.

“飞毯，请带我回家去，我可以告诉世界自然基金会，我们可以开始生产这种新药。

Monkey, please come and help.” The monkey agreed.

猴子，请跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了。

As we know, the ancient Olympic Games took place in Olympia in Greece every four years between 776BC and 339BC. Only men and boys could compete in the ancient Olympic Games. Married women were not even allowed to watch the Games; only young girls, boys and men could watch.

However, in modern times, there are two main sets of Games—the Summer and Winter Olympics, and both are held every four years. Athletes from any country who have reached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as competitors. Therefore, there are many significant differences between the modern and ancient Olympics, although certain similarities exist.

In this text, Pausanias, an ancient Greek writer, has come on a magical journey to find out more about the ancient and modern Olympics. Has he got what he wants to know? I think you have got the answer. OK. First, let’s do a survey about Olympics.

I’ve come to your time to findout about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004 they wereheld in my homeland. May I ask yousome questions about the modern Olympics?

P: How often do you hold your Games?

The WinterOlympics are usually held two years before the Summer Games. Only athletes who have reached the agreedstandard for their event will be admittedas competitors. They may come fromanywhere in the world.

P: Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing in winter? And what abouthorses?

L: Oh no! There are no running races or horseriding events. Instead there are competitionslike skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice. That’s why they’re calledthe Winter Olympics. It’s in the Summer Olympics that you have the runningraces, together with swimming, sailing and all the team sports.

P: I see. Earlier you said that athletes areinvited from all over the world. Do you mean the Greek world? Our Greek citiesused to compete against each other just for the honour of winning. No othercountries could join in, nor could slavesor women!
