He made it p 49 so that everyone could use it for free. “The more people use it, the more new ways of using it there will be. I think this is w 50 the OR code was born.” Hara said.

Today, people can turn on their televisions and watch the Olympics every two years, alternating between summer and winter games. The world’s best athletes t 181 hard before the games and hope to win a gold, silver, or bronze medal.
However, the first Olympics was quite different from t 182 Olympic Games. Held in 776 BC at Olympia, in ancient Greece, the games honored the Greek god Zeus. The competition was a c 183 for athletes to bring honor to their city-states, just as athletes bring honor to their countries nowadays. However, in ancient Greece, only men were allowed to participate.
For 13 years, the ancient Olympics had just one event, a running race. Gradually, the games expanded to i 184 sports such as chariot and horse racing, boxing, and the pentathlon. The pentathlon i 185 is made up of five different events: running, wrestling, jumping, throwing a discus, and throwing a javelin.
The ancient Greek Olympics e 186 around 395 BC and weren’t played again for over 2, 200 years. Finally, in 1894, a Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin decided to bring the games back. The games were held in 1896 and included nine events. Today’s Olympics include even more sports, such as soccer and skiing, and are now s 187 into the Summer and Winter Olympics. Cities around the world take turns hosting the Olympics.
W 188 stopped for seven days before and seven days after the ancient Olympics so that athletes could travel safely to the games. In a s 189 way, many believe that today’s Olympic Games create goodwill, as nations exhibit strength through competitive sports rather than through battle.
The Paralympics are held every Olympic year. To be in the games, athletes must have a disability. Some don’t have arms or legs. Some have poor balance. Some are in wheelchairs. Some others are b 190 . The great thing about these games is not the attention to their disability but their skills.

With 2D codes, information can be coded in two directions: across and up/down.” So Hara set out to develop a new 2D code holding a large amount of information. To make it be read as f 47 as possible, he made the code black and white, and square.

It was such a s 48 that Hara could use it to get enough money, but he didn’t.

He also hoped that it could be useful in more fields.

He was right. We always plan to do or dream of doing something great so that we can change the world. For example, we hate pollution, so we try to find new energy r 132 to keep the environment clean. H 133 , we still litter on the ground in our lives. Also, we are not satisfied with the traffic, so we plan to build more highways to stop it. But in fact, the main reason for it is that many people don’t f 134 the traffic rules.
Now, lots of students always think their homework is very difficult and they find it hard to pass exams. In their e 135 , the problems on papers are too difficult. But actually, the real r 136 is that they don’t study hard. They never think about changing their attitudes t 137 study or working hard on their lessons.
In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we should change o 138 first. As common people, it is not easy for us to change the world, but we can e 139 give up our bad habits, such as littering, breaking traffic rules and always c 140 about how difficult the exam is. If we can do that, we’ll be strong enough to change the world some day and make it!

Today, people can turn on their televisions and watch the Olympics every two years, alternating between summer and winter games. The world’s best athletes t 181 hard before the games and hope to win a gold, silver, or bronze medal.
However, the first Olympics was quite different from t 182 Olympic Games. Held in 776 BC at Olympia, in ancient Greece, the games honored the Greek god Zeus. The competition was a c 183 for athletes to bring honor to their city-states, just as athletes bring honor to their countries nowadays. However, in ancient Greece, only men were allowed to participate.
For 13 years, the ancient Olympics had just one event, a running race. Gradually, the games expanded to i 184 sports such as chariot and horse racing, boxing, and the pentathlon. The pentathlon i 185 is made up of five different events: running, wrestling, jumping, throwing a discus, and throwing a javelin.
The ancient Greek Olympics e 186 around 395 BC and weren’t played again for over 2, 200 years. Finally, in 1894, a Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin decided to bring the games back. The games were held in 1896 and included nine events. Today’s Olympics include even more sports, such as soccer and skiing, and are now s 187 into the Summer and Winter Olympics. Cities around the world take turns hosting the Olympics.
W 188 stopped for seven days before and seven days after the ancient Olympics so that athletes could travel safely to the games. In a s 189 way, many believe that today’s Olympic Games create goodwill, as nations exhibit strength through competitive sports rather than through battle.
The Paralympics are held every Olympic year. To be in the games, athletes must have a disability. Some don’t have arms or legs. Some have poor balance. Some are in wheelchairs. Some others are b 190 . The great thing about these games is not the attention to their disability but their skills.
