问题 Passage 1
  
The Olympic Games should be traced back to the ancient times. The Greeks were very fond of all sports that could make the body strong. Once in four years they had a great sports game. Many thousands of people came together upon a wide plain to see the contests of skill among men and boys from all parts of Greece. The great games were running races, wrestling matches, horse races, and chariot races. There were games for boys as well as for men.
    The prize for winning a game seemed very simple: no more than a wild olive tree leave crown; but to wear one of these crowns was the greatest honor, and he went home covered with glory. Ancient athletes competed as individuals. The emphasis on individual athletic achievement through public competition was related to the Greek ideal of excellence. Sportsmen who attained this ideal, through their outstanding words or deeds, won permanent glory and fame.
