8. 3 IOC stands for “the International Olympic Committee”. It is responsible for the organization of Olympic Games. It has its head office in Lausanne, Switzerland. It sets the general program, chooses the city where the games are to be held, and makes rules for athletes in the Olympics. Each country sending teams to the games must have its own National Olympic Committee. One responsibility of a national committee is arranging for its team’s participation in the games, providing equipment, and getting the team to the game site and into specially arranged housing.

9. 4 (Facing the Olympic flag, the athletes take the Olympic Oath) We swear that we will take part in these Olympic Games in the true spirit of sportsmanship, and that we will respect and obey the rules that govern them, for the glory of sport and the honor of our country.

10. 5 Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games, is in the western part of the Peloponnese which, according to Greek mythology（神话）, is the island of “Pelops”, the founder of the Olympic Games. Imposing temples, votive（［对上帝或圣徒］ 还愿的；谢恩的）buildings, elaborate shrines（神殿, 神祠, 圣地）and ancient sporting facilities were combined in a site of unique natural and mystical beauty. Olympia functioned as a meeting place for worship and other religious and political practices as early as the 10th century B.C. The central part of Olympia was dominated by the majestic temple of Zeus, with the temple of Hera parallel to it. The ancient stadium in Olympia could accommodate more than 40,000 spectators, while in the surrounding area there were auxiliary buildings which developed gradually up until the 4th century B.C. and were used as training sites for the athletes or to house the judges of the Games.

11. 6 The Olympic Games were closely linked to the religious festivals of the cult of Zeus（礼拜宙斯）, but were not an integral part of a rite（仪式, 典礼, 礼拜式）. Indeed, they had a secular（非宗教的） character and aimed to show the physical qualities and evolution 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.

12. 7 The Olympic victor received his first awards immediately after the competition. Following the announcement of the winner’s name by the herald（使者, 传令官, 通报者）, a Hellanodikis (Greek judge) would place a palm branch in his hands, while the spectators cheered and threw flowers to him. Red ribbons 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 elevated（高起的, 抬高的） vestibule（门廊, 前厅） 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（花圈, 花冠, 圈状物）on the winner’s head.
