OLYMPIC HISTORY
The Olympic Games have a long history which goes back to ancient times, starting in Greece 3,000 years ago Sports competitions were organized at Olympia and were named after their location,
hence their name of Olympic Games
Olympic athletes had to be male, of Greek nationality, and not slaves They promised to compete in an honourable way and to follow the rules but some athletes still cheated If caught, they had to pay a large fine and this money was used to pay for statues of Zeus, which were located along the route to the stadium with the name of cheat on each base To get to the stadium, the athletes had
to walk past all the statues
Unlike the modem Olympics, which currently include 35 sports and nearly 400 events, many
of which are team sports such as football and basketball, the ancient Games only included individual events Seven types of events took place in the stadium, including running, discus, javelin, long jump, wrestling, and boxing There was also chariot racing and horse riding in the hippodrome
The Olympic Games became a major sports event but the Roman Emperor Theodosius I
finally decided to ban the Olympic Games in 393 AD after more than 1,000 years of existence
because he thought they were a pagan cult
Gradually, the site disappeared and was forgotten However, in the 19" century,
archaeological work finally revealed the ruins of Olympia and, today, visitors can appreciate Olympia and imagine the past glory of the Games

A a historical period B a place C a Greek sport D an ancient king

THE INTERNET AND EDUCATION
Until quite recently Silicon Valley and its innovations had little effect on teaching and
learning But with the rise of the Internet, information technology is now beginning to have much more influence on education Two areas which are becoming more and more significant are 'blogs' and 'wikis.'
The word 'blog' is short for 'weblog.' A blog is an online diary or 'blog' of someone's life, thought, or opinions Anybody can create their own 'blog' and blogging is becoming extremely popular - type 'blog' into Google and you'll get over 500 million results For educational purposes, academics, teachers and students create blogs as personal online study sites: places to work together and share information and ideas Some universities even give their students and staff free space on a server to start their own blogs
' Wikis' are websites where anyone can add content and make changes, so that the site
becomes a group creation - 'wiki' stands for 'What I Know Is.' These sites can be a valuable source
of information and opinion for students, though the information may not be totally accurate - some academics refuse to use them Perhaps the best-known wiki is the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia,
which has more than one million entries in over 100 languages Wikipedia is working hard to make sure that its information is completely accurate, so students will be able to use it with confidence, and there's no doubt that it is an incredible resource

Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to
school and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely." There is undoubtedly truth in
Einstein's observation; many artists and geniuses seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage But such a truth is not a criticism of schools It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers The explorer is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering be in art, music, science or
technology The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James
described as the "faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way." In so far as schools teach perceptual patterns, they tend to destroy creativity and genius But if school could somehow exist solely to cultivate genius, then society would break down For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits are destructive to creativity There will always be conflict between the
demands of society and the impulses of creativity and genius

differently from the way most people do
