我们带来什么好处，第二篇文章重点描述奥运会的标识(中国印)的含义，属于说明

1. What the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics will bring to us? 2008北京奥
运会将给我们带来什么？
The Olympic Games offers a way for man to surpass himself, and the
essence of the Games lies in the spirit of competition and sense of
honour. We have a lot of slogans - the Green Olympics, the Humanist
Olympics, and the High-Technology Olympics. The event definitely conforms
to the core values of mankind, and expresses our Chinese determination to
merge with the rest of the world.
The 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing is such a good chance for us
to introduce Chinese food to the whole world. China is one of the
countries in the world known for its rich culinary culture, but it seems
many foreign epicureans only know the tip of the Chinese cuisine iceberg.
We are duty bound to make Chinese food delicious in any language.
The Olympics Games will be a good opportunity to promote the spirit
of teamwork among children. I strongly feel that in recent years children
have become more and more "individual-conscious" while lacking team
spirit in their school lives. Teachers are trying to design various games
and activities in middle school to foster a spirit of "united to achieve
a goal," as it is vital for one's success when he or she grows up. But
none of the games we designed can compare with power of the Olympic
Games. By then, the children now in middle school will be the main force
of volunteers and thus they can feel how important the united spirit is
in such a big international event. (249 words)
2. Beijing 2008 Olympic logo 2008奥运标识
The emblem, officially entitled "Chinese Seal - Dancing Beijing", has
a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal. The words
"Beijing 2008" are written with a Chinese brush below it. The figure in
the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character "jing"
which means "capital".
The image carries the message that today's China is not only a nation
with a long and glorious history, but also one full of modern dynamics.
Dancing Beijing is a journey to the future, the emblem for China
moving towards the 2008 Olympic Games. It represents the heart of an
ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving
towards a new destiny. It captures the soul of a city in transformation
and its motion conveys a message of hope, joy, and unity.
Dancing Beijing is a symbol of the city's promise to make the Games a
success and to be unlike any the world has known. The Chinese seal of
Dancing Beijing is a promise rooted in honour and trust, character and
truth.
Dancing Beijing is the city's signature. The ancient art of
calligraphy expresses the grace and character of the Chinese and the
charm and beauty of their traditions. The image of Beijing's Olympics,
inspired by the ancient figure for Beijing, turns the citysintosa dancing
athlete in the graceful sweep of the calligrapher's hand.
Dancing Beijing is the colour of China. Red is the most significant
colour in Chinese culture's symbol of luck, of celebration and of new
beginnings. The depth of its meaning equals the depth of its beauty.
Dancing Beijing represents the spirit of the individual. It is the
symbol for every Olympian, every performer, every volunteer and every
spectator. Arms flung wide, it invites all people and the world to share
in the city's history, beauty, energy, and its future.
Dancing Beijing is in the form of the dragon, the ancient symbol of
Chinese culture that has both beauty and majesty. It symbolizes a binding
of the fire and light of the Chinese people, the power to the promise.
Dancing Beijing is an invitation, a hand extended in welcome to
China's celebration. The Games are held in the hope of uniting humanity
as never before. They are a gesture of friendship and hope that the
community of nations will unite in peace through sport. (393 words)
(五)中国品牌专题
中国入世之后，中国的经济一直是国内外关注的一个焦点。国外的产品如何进
入中国，国内的产品如何走向世界，这是人们关注的一个重大问题。民族品牌如何
立足于世界之林？在这个专题中，我给大家所提供的文章是有关于中国品牌如何能
够走向世界。我们也衷心地希望更多的中国品牌能像海尔一样为民族争光。
1. How can Chinese Brands go global? 中国品牌如何走向国际？
How can Chinese national brands get established in the international
market-place?
No one would doubt the importance of valuable brands and the
impression such brands make on the buying public. That is why consumers
are prepared to pay more money for products that have a reliable name.
When the difference in quality among various products or services becomes
less differentiated, what distinguishes a product from others is the
brand.
How can Chinese brands find their waysintosthe international market?
First, control over Chinese firms by foreign brands must be removed. A
brand strategy could be deemed an anti-control strategy. Since original
equipment manufacturing form a great barriers between foreign consumers
and Chinese manufacturers, Chinese manufacturers have no brand for their
own products and thus can accumulate no brand loyalty even if the
products they produced are widely sold.
Second, Chinese manufacturers need to develop the key technology for
their brand and own the property rights to that technology. A good
example is the CDMA (code-division multiple-access) technology used for
mobile phones. The patent fees charged to Chinese manufacturers have been
a heavy burden and added to the cost of CDMA phone handsets, thus
limiting the growth of CDMA use in China. Without a self-owned brand,
Chinese manufacturers will need to copy technology from other
manufacturers and therefore they will not have the momentum to take the
lead in technology innovation.
Third, Chinese manufacturers need to have their own brand strategy.
Without their own brands and without promotion of those brands, Chinese
manufacturers will have no idea what consumers in other countries really
want. Therefore, they will be unaware of how to promote their products in
those overseas markets.
In conclusion, turning a brand strategysintosreality is totally
different from thinking about a strategy. Yet, when Chinese manufacturers
start to think about strategy, they have already made the first very
important step forward to achieve the goal of establishing an
international brand. (312 words)

Soccer is based on 17 main laws of the game, which have been refined since its modern beginnings in Great Britain in 1863. The sport was first known in Britain as Association Football; this was shortened to A-soc, and, finally, soccer. It is now the most popular sport in the world with the major powers concentrated in Europe and South America. The objective of the sport is quite simple: two teams compete against each other in an attempt to score as many points as possible by putting the ball into their opponent's goal.
现代足球于1863年起源于英国，以17条比赛规则为基础，最初叫协会足球(Association Football，)，后来简称A-soc，最终定名为soccer。足球是目前世界上最流行的运动。主要足球强国都分布在欧洲和南美洲。足球比赛的目的很简单：两队竞赛将球踢入对方球门，得分多者获胜。
A game is made up of two teams, each having up to 11 players. The game consists of two 45-min halves with a 15-min halftime.
一场足球比赛有两队参加，每队11人。比赛上下半场各45分钟，中间休息15分钟。
The team that wins the coin toss may choose to kickoff or defend the goal of its choice. All players must be on their own half of the field before the kickoff takes place. Defensive players must be outside the center circle, at least 10 yards away from the ball, for the kickoff. The referee whistles to begin the game, and the ball is kicked onto the opponent's portion of the field. The player who kicks off may not touch the ball again until another player has.
掷硬币的胜方有优先权选择开球或选择场地。开球前所有球员必须待在本方半场。开球时防守一方的球员不得进入中圈(中圈半径10码，即9．15米)。裁判鸣哨即宣布比赛开始，开球方必须将球向前踢入对方半场。开球的球员在其他球员触球前不得再次触球。
Players may use their feet, head, or chest to play the ball with the exception of the goalkeeper and of making a throw-in, players may not use their hands or arms. The games proceeds with each team attempting to control the ball, move it down the field, and score a goal.
球员可用脚、头和胸部触球，但是只有守门员和掷界外球的球员可以用手触球。比赛双方都试图更多地控球，将球带过场地，送入对方球门。
The ball is not out of play until the entire ball has crossed over the touch line or goal line. A player may go out of bounds to keep the ball in play. A ball is in play once it bounces back onto the field after hitting a goal post, crossbar, or comer post, and once it hits an official who is in bounds.
足球整个都出了边线、底线或球门线时，才造成死球。球员可以在场地之外将未出界的球救回。如果足球撞到球门柱、横梁，角旗杆或裁判员身上弹回场地，那么仍为活球。

会 徽 说 明
申办会徽由奥运五环色构成，形似中国传统民间工艺品的“中国结”，又似一个打太极拳的人形。图案如行云流水，和谐生动，充满运动感，象征世界人民团结、协作、交流、发展，携手共创新世纪；表达奥林匹克更快、更高、更强的体育精神。
Emblem
The emblem resembles a person doing “taiji”(Tai Ch'I)，symbolizing gracefulness，harmony，vitality and mobility as well as unity，cooperation，exchange and development. It also resembles the shape of a traditional Chinese artifact known as the “China Heart Unit.”The logo was designed by Chen Shaohua，a noted designer in Shenzhen and one of the 13 official emblem designers appointed by BOBICO，and well-known painter Han Meilin，who modified the design by using a calligraphy brush. Kan Tai-Keung，a famous designer in Hong Kong，also contributed to the designing of the emblem.

I and Olympic Games
Olympic Games is window, I keep watch. This is a maximum window, had been rubbed bright. Through it, those that see are worlds. Here, it is changing every day, here burgeoning thing is being replaced. Have only me, this loyalty keep watch, it is paying attention to it every day, hopes to know it more. Olympic Games is crossing, I am pedestrian. There are many persons who pass here every day, there is Asian, have European, there is old person, have child. Here is traffic fort, joins the friend of all corners of the country. I pass the one of persons of hundreds of millions of here merely, cross it, go to another world. Olympic Games is Holy Land, I am volunteer. This is the land with pure flat, has holy fire from start to finish to accompany in side. Just because it is so, I pay out voluntarily for it, I will let my strength, let this slice of land more clean, let more ones know it, is also willing to devote oneself to it as me. I still help to the person who comes to here, let them enjoy the happiness of this slice of Holy Land. Olympic Games is platform, I am host. It has put up platform for us , lets world know us; It has built bridge for us , lets us and world link up better. This platform may let us display self wantonly. I am the host of here, I am proud to be the host of here. I will let the friendship of landlord, let guest experience enthusiasm and happiness.
Bidding for and hosting the Olympics successfully is, perhaps, the ultimate glory for a city. However, before transforming the dream into reality, the benefits and drawbacks of bidding for the Olympics should be weighed carefully.
Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city. Boom of the local economy, more jobs, and the possibility of generating income all sound extremely attractive to the municipal government. At the same time, better infrastructure, cleaner environment, enjoying the spectacular game with hundreds of sports elites and entertainment stars, and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world also seem exciting to the citizens. Besides, the bidding will definitely promote the patriotic emotion and pride, as well as the moral behavior in local people. In most cases, bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
Unfortunately, this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If looking from another angle, the Olympic bid might bring about some side-effects to a city.
First of all, the environmental impacts, including the increasing exhaust fumes of cars, more pressure on water resources, huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities, are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets, some trees may have to be cut. Near the construction site, the tiny dust may linger in the air for a long time. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centre or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited and densely-populated city in a third-world country.
Besides, if talking about the economic benefit, it should not be forgotten that a quick boosting may lead to bubble growth, which may easily crash. If not well managed and organized, the big event may not be so profitable, and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. Yes, there have been cases that host cities ended up with enormous debts.
Finally, let’s think about the low-income groups in the city. What will they get from the Olympics bidding? More tax, more fees, more expensive property prices, and higher cost of living. These definitely are not good news for them.
To bid or not to, this is a question. It is up to the choice of the municipal government, and the local public. After the decision, what they can do is to make the most of the benefit, and reduce the drawbacks to the least.
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. the money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.
With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?
Yours truly,
Li Hua
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Sixty students out of one hundred think that an entrance fee should not be bought before one enters a park, for it is a place for the public to go to when they are free. If a ticket must be bought, a gate and walls have to be built for a park, which will make a city look ugly. Forty students out of one hundred think that an entrance fee should be bought before one enters a park, but that the price of the ticket should be reasonable. Money that is got from ticket selling can be used to pay the gardening workers and buy different kinds of flowers and trees. As for myself, I really think parks are good places to go to at weekends and on holidays. At the same time, we, as visitors, should pay the entrance fee when we enter a park. After all, it takes a lot of money to maintain a park in good working order. Do you aGREe with me, dear editor?
Yours truly,
Li Hua
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Sixty percent of my schoolmates are for the idea that an entrance fee should not be forced on the public. they believe parks are the place where the public enjoy themselves at their leisure. they think that a gate and wails are to be built if an entrance fee is to be charged. the city will not look so beautiful as it should have. Forty percent of my schoolmates are for the idea that an entrance fee is OK, but it shouldn’t be out of control. Entrance fee can be used to pay the gardeners and buy new types of flowers and trees. For myself, I’d like to say that if we all work hard to build our city into a flower garden, who cares about the entrance fee for parks?
Yours truly,
Li Hua
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Those against charging entrance fee for parks take up 60%. they are of one mind that parks are a place for the public’s enjoyment. If tickets are demanded on the visitors of a park, a gate has to be set up and so have the walls on the four sides. If so, city will not look as beautiful as it would. Otherwise, those in favour of charging entrance fee for parks take up 40%. they all think that ticket price should be controlled properly, and that entrance fee can be used to pay the gardeners and buy new sorts of flowers and trees. the truth lies in the hands of the majority. Does my argument stand to reason, dear editor?
Yours truly,
Li Hua
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Of all us who have joined in the discussion, 60% share the point of view that an entrance fee should not be charged while 40% share the opposite view. Those who don’t aGREe with the idea think that a park is a place where the public can spend their spare time for pleasure. Those in support of the idea think that entrance fee for parks can’t be beyond control. Those against the idea think that a city’s appearance will be damaged because a gate and wails will be built if an entrance fee is to be collected. Those who aGREe with the idea think entrance fee can be used to pay the gardeners and buy new kinds of flowers and trees. I think it does more good than harm to charge an entrance fee for parks. Am I right, editor?
Yours truly,

2. The Olympic Games
The Olympic Games are held every four years in a different city in the world. Athletes from different countries compete in a variety of sports which are divided into winter and sum mer games.
The Olympics began in Greece more than 2 700 years ago. The first recorded Olympic competition was held in 776 B. C. It was held in an outdoor stadium and about forty thousand people watched the event. The first thirteen Olympics consisted of only one race running. The games had been held regularly for about 1 200 years. Then, in the year 397 the Olympics were prohibited by the Roman Emporor.
It was not until 1896 that the first Olympics of modern times were held in Athens. From then on the games are held every four years rugularly. The Olympics have become the world’s most important athletic events and a symbol of sporting friendship of all the people of the world.
