A

In the summer of 1936, people all over the world heard the name of Jesse Owens. That summer,

Owens joined the best athletes from fifty nations to compete in the Olympic Games. They met in

Berlin, Germany. There was special interest in the Olympic Games that year.

We do not know what Hitler thought of Jesse Owens. No one recorded what he said about this

black man who ran faster and jumped farther than any man of any color at the Olympic Games. But

Hitler thought nobody should run faster or jump higher than the athletes from Germany. For at

Hitler's request, films were made of the Berlin Olympic Games.

The films show Jesse Owens as a thin but powerfully-built young man with smooth brown skin and

short hair. When he ran, he seemed to move without effort. When he jumped, as one observer said,

he seemed to jump out of Germany.

Jesse Owens won the highest award, the gold medal, in all four of the Olympic competitions he

entered. In the 100-meter race, he equaled the fastest record in that Olympic event. In the long

jump and the 200-meter race, he set new Olympic records. And as part of a four-man team, he

helped set a new world record for the 400-meter relay race. He was the first American in the history

of Olympic track and field events to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.

The History of the Games

Olympia

Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games, is in the western part of the Peloponnese. It was

used as a meeting place for worship(敬仰) and other religious and political practices as early as the

10th century B. C．. But until the 4th century B. C. it was used as training sites for the athletes or to

The Games and Religion

The Olympic Games were closely linked to the religious(宗教的) festivals of the worship of Zeus.

Indeed, they also aimed to show the physical qualities and development of the

performances accomplished by young people, as well as encouraging good relations

between the cities of Greece. According to specialists, the Olympic Games owed their purity

and importance to religion.

Victory Ceremonies

The Olympic victor received his first awards immediately after the competition. Following the

announcement of the winner's name by the herald, a Hellanodikis (Greek judge) would place a

palm branch in his hands, while the audience cheered and threw flowers to him. Red ribbons (丝带)

were tied on his head and hands as a mark of victory.

The official award ceremony would take place on the last day of the Games, at the front hall of the

temple of Zeus. In a loud voice, the herald would announce the name of the Olympic winner, his

father's name and his homeland. Then, the Hellanodikis placed the sacred olive tree

wreath on the winner's head.

I’m not so sure I like my friends any more.I used to like them—to be honest.We’d

have lunch,talk on the phone or exc

hange e-mails,and they all seemed normal enough.But then came Facebook,and I was

introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from

me.

Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via

Facebook.No longer hidden,they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable

and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.

Take Fred.If you were to have lunch with him,you’d find him warm,and

down-to-earth.Read his Facebook and you will realize he’s an

unbearable,food-obsessed bore.He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save

a drowning man—and then write about it.

Take Andy.You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere,but now he’s a CEO without a

One out of many important things for the

whole family to do is to have dinner

together. Researchers began reporting the

benefits of family dinner about a decade

ago, focusing mainly on how it affects

children. Studies show that those

families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4

times a week together, benefit in many

ways.

[2]Eating together helps families achieve

open communication and build stronger and

healthier relationships. Children have

better grades at school and are better

adjusted as teens and adults, and the

entire family enjoys healthier nutrition.

For many families, eating dinner together

proves to be good and effective way to

reduce the risk of youth rates of

addiction, and helps to raise healthier

A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the

risk of skin caner, actually increases the risk.

Researchers from the University of lows based their firdings on a review of 18

earlier studies that looked at the associstion between sunscreen use and

melanoms(黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported

associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.

Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects

of the sun, sunscreen helpsprevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence

(发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.

But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite

effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without

Medical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is

to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until

they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release，including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own

risks—burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless

trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.

The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new. Researchers around the

globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they

absorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible
