5、r time.The story of AtlantaAtlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her farther that she would not marry anyone who could not run
6、faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, “ These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned.”Many kings and princes wanted to
7、marry Atlanta, but when they heard of her rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlantas rules, “ Why are these men so foolish?” hethought. “ Why will they let themselves
8、be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?” However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind. “ I will marry Atlantaor die !“ he said.The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, “ Ho
9、w can I run as fast as Atlanta?” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said, “ Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win.” Hippomenes
10、took the apples and went to the King. He said, “ I want to marry Atlanta.” The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said, “ I will marry her or die!” So the race began.Three inspiring stories about the Olympic Games1. The kind NorwegianThere is a cross-country skiing race which is par
11、t of the Winter Olympics. In 2006 a Canadian skier, Sara Renner, was taking part in the cross-country final when her left pole broke. This was a serious problem as she needed the pole to help her travel quickly through the deep snow. Immediately Bjornar Hakensmoen , the coach of the Norwegian team,
12、gave her another pole. So Renner was able to get a silver medal. Hakensmoen said that he had only behaved as any good sportsman should, but Sara said that Hakensmoen had shown everybody the true meaning of sport.2. The Special Olympic athleteFor athlete Eric Williams gold medals are nice, but good s
13、portsmanship is more important. Eric has a low mental ability but this does not stop him from taking apart in the Olympics. In 2005 Eric competed in running races and the long jump. He said, “ Ive been competing in the Special Olympics ever since I was at high school. Its really a good experience. Y
14、ou get to meet different athletes and volunteers and make all kinds of friends. “ John Corbett, an organizer of the Special Olympics said, “ He always does his best and has a wonderful time in the progress. He truly appreciates all the people around him who are trying to help, and he makes that appr
15、eciation known. “ Lets hope Eric wins more medals in the next Special Olympics!3. The stubborn AfricanIn 1968 a Kenyan athlete Kip Keino competed in the 1500 metres running race. At that time he was very ill and in great pain. Although he had reached the standard for the final of the race he decided
16、 at first not to take part. However, just before the race was going to start he changed his mind. He ran from his room and arrived at the race track a few minutes before the race was about to begin. Surprisingly, he won the race, finishing well ahead of everyone else and showing what true courage and perseverance can achieve. It was no wonder that Kip Keino became the only Kenyan sportsman ever to appear on the cover of the world famous sports magazine Sports
