Read the website article again carefully and decide whether the following statements are facts (F) or opinions (O). If the statement is an opinion, find the evidence the author gives to support it. Page 18 Tip: Distinguishing facts from opinions A fact is a piece of information that is known to be true and can be proved. An opinion is a statement that reflects an author’s points of view, beliefs, personal feelings and values. In order for an opinion to be accepted by the reader, the author often supports it with evidence. A critical reader needs to distinguish facts from opinions, and evaluate the evidence on which the opinions are based to decide whether they are convincing. 一个挑剔的读者需要区分事实和观点，并评估观点所依据的证据，以决定它们是否令人信服。 support证实；提供依据 1.

Do you think the Olympic Games can help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace? Why or why not? I believe that the Olympic Games can help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace because sport focuses on a person’s athletic capabilities and not on the colour of their skin or cultural background. ath·let·ic  /æθˈletɪk/ 体育运动的；田径运动的；健壮的 cap·abil·ity/ˌkeɪpəˈbɪləti/ 能力；才能 The Olympic Games, by celebrating sportsmanship worldwide, draw attention to the hard work that athletes put in and the devotion they have to their specific sport. Sports fans do not care about race or culture either, but instead, are impressed by the athletes’ physical and mental abilities and show their appreciation for every athlete’s effort. cele·brate /ˈselɪbreɪt/ vt.赞美；颂扬；歌颂 draw attention to吸引对……的注意力 put sth. in/into sth 花费，耗费，投入（时间、心思等） 3.How do you understand Coubertin’s words at the end of the website article? I think Coubertin’s words mean that the Olympic Games would have a positive influence on the world well into the future. Coubertin believed that through the “joy of living” and “faith in the future”, the Olympics would make the future better so that people of all races and cultures could live in harmony. har·mony /ˈhɑːməni/ 融洽；和睦 When Coubertin said “its ambition and its will to ascend”, he was referring to how the Olympics would motivate humans to strive for greater and greater ambitions with each generation, making humanity stronger over time. strive (for/against sth) /straɪv/ ( strove/strəʊv/ striven/ˈstrɪvn/)努力；奋斗；力争；力求 B.
