Unit 2　The Olympic Games As early as 1945，the first Chinese Olympic commissioner Wang Zhengyan，Chinese gymnasts Yuan Dunli and Dong Shouyi made a request to hold the 15th Olympic Games.The action created a big stir in China. After China resumed its legitimate membership on the IOC in 1979 and He Zhenliang was elected a member of the IOC in 1981，Chinas relationship with the Olympic movement and its cooperation with the IOC stepped into a new historical stage.Decades later from the first request in 1945，Beijing decided to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games in 1991.However，for some reasons and the obstructions(n.阻挡；妨碍)from some countries，Sydney in Australia gained only two votes more than China and won the bid finally.China lost the bid，but its participation made the world get a further under standing of China. The failure of the bid didnt reduce the Chinese peoples eagerness to host the Games.In 1999，Chinese Olympic Games Committee agreed on Beijings request for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.The mayor of Beijing himself sent the application to the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne，Switzerland. On July 13,2001，in the 112th conference of International Olympic Committee，Beijing won the bid overwhelmingly(adv.压倒性地)and became the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games.The Olympic dream of thousands of millions of people came true at last. 1．佳句仿写 when引导定语从句。 [例句仿写]　我们都在期盼着能够尽情玩耍的假期。 ________________________________________________ 2．翻译佳句 ________________________________________________ 【答案】 1．We are all looking forward to the holiday when we can enjoy ourselves. 2．虽然中国没有赢得主办权，但中国的参与使得全世界对中国有了更深刻的了解。 Thanks !
