The important sports in the original Olympic Games were running, jumping, wrestling, throwing the discus and throwing the javelin. Only men competed and they wore no clothes in order to have greater freedom of movement. Each competitor had to take the Olympic Oath – a promise to behave in a sportsman-like fashion.
The modern Olympic era began in 1894 when Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin decided to revive the ancient Greek tradition of celebrating health, youth and peace with a sports festival. Baron de Coubertin created the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the first modem Olympiad took place in Athens in 1896. Since then the Olympic Games have been held every four years with only two exceptions because of the two world wars.
Even though the modern Olympic Games embrace the whole world, the connection with Greece is still very strong. A lighted torch is brought all the way from Greece, carried by a relay of runners, in order to light the Olympic Flame which bums all through the Games. As in ancient Greek times, the competitors still take the Olympic Oath. The long-distance race is still called the Marathon. Marathon was a village about 26 miles from Athens. In the year 490 BC the Greeks defeated a powerful Persian army at that spot. After the fierce day’s fighting a soldier volunteered to bring news of the victory to the anxious citizens of Athens. He ran all the way and after gasping out the message. “Rejoice, we conquer!” he collapsed and died.
One important rule of the Olympic Games is that the competitors must be amateurs. This rule has been under a lot of pressure in recent years because modem sport is so professional and competitive. Athletes train for years to take part in the Olympics and some countries spend much more than others on equipment and facilities. But despite these pressures, the amateur rule remains.
In modern times the Olympic movement has become an enormous and expensive organisation, It’s controlled by the International Olympic Committee, which consists of members from all the participating countries. The IOC is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. It chooses the locations of both summer and winter games (both take place once very four years, with winter games half a year before summer Olympiads). It also controls the rules of the competitions and selects new Olympic sports. The famous flag of the IOC shows five rings of different colours linked together. The rings represent the five continents.
Many kinds of sport originated from England. The English have a proverb, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. They do not think that play is more important than work; they think that Jack will do his work better if he plays as well. so he is encouraged to do both. Association football, or soccer is one of the most popular games in the British Isles played from late August until the beginning of May. In summer the English national sport is cricket. When the English say: “that’s not cricket” it means “that’s not fair”, “to play the game” means “to be fair”.
Обычно время обеда - 13.00. Он начинается с супа или фруктового сока. Дальше следует говяжье или птичье мясо с картофелем - варёным или жареным, морковь и бобы. Затем время пудинга. Вместо пудинга они могут предпочесть сыр и печенье. После всего - кофе, чёрный или со сливками. Англичане часто что-нибудь выпивают во время обеда. Вода всегда стоит на столе. Некоторые предпочитают сок или лимонад.
Полдник - третий приём пищи. Он обычно между 4-5 часов, так называемый пятичасовой полдник. На стол ставят чай, молоко или сливки, сахар, хлеб и масло, пирожные и джем. Часто на полднике присутствуют друзья и знакомые.
Четвёртый приём пищи - ужин. Он обычно в 7 часов и проводится в кругу семьи.
Ужин обычно состоит из супа, рыбы или мяса с овощами - картофелем, горошком, морковью и капусты, сладкого пудинга, фруктового салата, мороженого или сыра с печеньем. После разговоров они выпивают чашечку кофе, чёрного или со сливками.
Это порядок блюд в Английских семьях. Но большинство горожан или тех, кто живёт в пригородах, ужинают в середине дня вместо обеда. А полдник у них чуть позже - между 5-6 часов, и позже, вечером, перед тем, как лечь спать, у них лёгкий ужин.
Таким образом, в день четыре приёма пищи: завтрак, ужин, полдник и лёгкий ужин или завтрак, обед, полдник и ужин.
