   What is the true spirit of the Olympic Games? Please use examples to illustrate your points.
选项
答案 The true spirit of the Olympic Games, as far as I am concerned, is best expressed in the Olympic Creed: " The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. " This spirit has impelled athletes to constantly strive to become stronger. Moreover, the true spirit of the Olympic Games can inspire us to make never-ending efforts to improve ourselves in various competitions in our lives. Thousands of athletes have participated in the Olympic Games, but obviously only a few can be winners. If our goal is only a medal, then we can get very little from the competition and are bound to miss the spirit of the Olympic Games. Olympic spirit is participation, while fame and fortune is less important. Take John Stephen Akhwari for example, who participated in marathon in the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games. When he ran at 19 kilometers, he was unfortunately injured, but he finished the entire race with his strong will. Although he was the last one to complete the game, he became a real hero in the history of the Olympic Games. For an athlete, to fight for a better record is their goal and profession. For us average people, to struggle for a better life is our destiny. We tend to think that triumph is our goal in life, but more often than not we have found that after one conquest there come more tasks and challenges. The endless challenges in life require perseverance and a spirit of Sisyphus. Every time after the rock falls back from the top of a mountain, we have to continue to roll it to the top again. Absurd as it seems, this is not a meaningless process, because we have grown mature and become wiser in this struggling process of life. Remember, the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, and the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
解析    分析题目中的关键词true spirit of the Olympic Games，发现true spirit应该比spirit有更深一层的含义。既然有“真正的”奥运精神，那么一般人通常误解的奥运精神是什么呢?不难想象，人们会注重比赛的胜负，但一味求胜并不是奥运会提倡的精神。首先，我们要对真正的奥运精神有所思考和认识。其次，对具体的奥运精神的表述，可能不止一种，在写作的时候要选择一种自己觉得最有说服力因而最能阐述清楚的。比如，奥运宪章里说的“相互了解、友谊、团结和公平竞争”的精神；或者奥林匹克原则里体现出来的参与精神：“奥运会重在参与，而不是胜利，正如生活中最重要的不是取胜，而是奋斗本身。”选择好阐述的着眼点之后，再由所选的这一点引申开去，联系实际，以寻找这一精神在实际生活中的运用。另外，按题目要求，还要举例子来说明论点，注意例子的选取要具有说服力和代表性。
