Unit 6 Sunshine for all Reading 1 Huang Xin, Zhenjiang No. 6 Middle School Pre-reading What have you known about the Special Olympics World Games? Are the Special Olympics the same as Paralympic Games (残奥会)? 特奥会是基于奥林匹克精神，专门针对智障人士举办的国际性运动训练和比赛。参赛运动员年龄须八岁以上，智商70以下，并要经过八周的训练。 特奥会每两年举办一届，夏季和冬季交替举行。它虽然以国家或地区作为参赛单位，但运动员取得奖牌时，不会如奥运会一般奏国歌、升国旗。 这是由于特奥会认为国籍在该运动会中是次要的，最重要的是“体现和谐、融合、参与”。特奥会的口号是“勇敢尝试，争取胜利”，特奥会的誓词是“让我获胜，如果我不能获胜，让我勇敢的尝试”。 While-reading Skim the passage and answer two questions: 1.
