Every four years the world watches the Olympic Games, which start when somebody from the host country carries a torch into the stadium and lights the flame in the opening ceremony The

flame continues to burn throughout the games until it is extinguished in the closing ceremony

This is a tradition that started in ancient Greece, when a fire burnt throughout the ancient

Olympics, but it was not introduced to the modern games until 1928 The modern world

welcomed the idea of an Olympic flame with enthusiasm In 1936, Carl Diem, a German sports official, came up with the idea of an Olympic torch relay for the 1936 Summer Olympics in

Berlin Since then the torch relay has been part of the Olympic Games

The Olympic torch is lit many months before the opening ceremony at Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympics in Greece Eleven women take part and one of them lights the torch from the sun using a special mirror After this, there is a ceremony in the Athenian Panathmaiko

Stadium, where the Athens city authorities deliver the torch to the officials of the host city

This ceremony is then followed by the torch relay Traditionally, runners, including athletes,

celebrities and ordinary people carry the torch on a journey from Athens to the host city The

relay lasts for many months and goes through many countries Sometimes the torch travels by

boat, or by plane

The relay ends when the torch arrives at the Olympic stadium where the Games will take

place The final carrier of the torch is often kept secret until the last moment, and is usually a

famous sportsman or woman They run around the track and towards a huge cauldron, which is usually at the top of a staircase They use the torch to light the Olympic flame

The torch relay represents the passing of Olympic traditions from one generation to the

next Originally, the flame represented the “endeavour for protection and struggle for victory"

Since it was introduced again in 1928, it has come to represent “the light of spirit, knowledge,

and life”

Question 9: Though many scientific breakthroughs have resulted from mishaps it has taken

brilliant thinkers to recognize their potential

reflect social factors such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be

distinguished from or to emulate our fellows

The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some

physical reason such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements Ethnologists and

psychologists have invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns

In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps

through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other

creatures Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men This

identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all period children at play have

worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life

Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and

suggested he was superhuman In more recent times, professional or administrative costume

has been devised to distinguish the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this

purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform

Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to be

an expression of social caste and material prosperity Military uniform denotes rank and is

intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group At the bottom

of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform Finally, costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic

identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect

Question 10: Psychological reasons for wearing garments include

A protection from cold

B availability of materials

C prevention of illness

D wishing to give pleasure

Question 11: Why does the author mention the police officer’s uniform?

A To illustrate the aesthetic function of costume

B To identify the wearer with a hero

C To suggest that police are superhuman

D To show how costume signifies authority

Question 12: The passage mainly discusses costumes in term of its

A physical protection

B religious significance

C social function

D beauty and attractiveness

Question 13: What is the purpose of the paragraph 1?

A To describe the uses of costume

B To contrast costume with the clothing
