I will try my best to write to you as often as possible to introduce you the Chinese culture. When you have an opportunity to come to China, I'll teach you how to speak Chinese and show you around some famous historical places of interest. Anyway, I am going to help you as much as I can. How do you think?
Failure is the mother of success
We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.
Another case in point is my learning experience. I was good at English, but I couldn't pass the exam, for I wasn't prepared well before the examination. I had many things to solve at that time. As I met the complex things, I was at a loss. The reason was that I had no plan and involved in many things and didn't study more hard, so I failed.

Olympic Games Stakeholder

2Olympic Games Stakeholder Governance and ManagementMilena M.ParentIntroductionOrganizing committees are outsourcing entities,meaning that they need others(stakeholders)to do most of the work regarding the preparation for an Olympic Games while they focus on Games-time associated tasks as well as coordinating all stakeholders’efforts.The Olympic Games is a complex undertaking requiring a high variety and amount of resources, as well as a variety of stakeholders to bid for,plan and host the Games. Stakeholders are all those individuals,groups and/or organizations that inﬂuence or are inﬂuenced by the actions of the focal organization (Freeman,1984),here the bid/organizing committee.Managing the Olympic Games is context dependent,as well as stakeholder dependent.The number of stakeholders and their needs and wants will vary between the bid phase,the planning mode,the implementation and execution of the event and the wrap-up(Parent, 2008).But who are the different stakeholders?What do they do,and what are their responsibilities?What do they want,and what do they need?How might they be managed if you are a member of an organizing committee?These are the questions this chapter pursues.Olympic Games stakeholdersThe rights to the Olympic Games and all‘things’Olympic are owned by the International Olympic Committee(IOC)–they own the event–likewise for the Paralympic Games and the International Paralympic Committee.The rights of a given edition of the Games are given (in essence loaned)to a chosen candidate city.Once the event is hosted, the rights revert to the IOC.The IOC retainsﬁnal approval for all15S. Frawley et al. (eds.), Managing the Olympics© Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 201316Olympic Games Stakeholder Governance and ManagementOlympic Games decisions by organizing committees,even if organiz-ing committees(and/or their the host governments)are the ones who areﬁnancially,operationally and legally liable.For an Olympic Games,the bid phase can last up to three years as(for countries and cities with an interest)there is typically a national bid competition,followed by an international bid competition.During this time,the bid committee will have to deal with the IOC and its coun-try’s National Olympic Committee(NOC),national and international sport federations(NFs and IFs,respectively),regional and national gov-ernments,the media,sponsors,the community(e.g.residents,tourism organizations,commerce/business bureaus,activist groups and potential venue owners)and other candidate cities(Hautbois et al.,2012;Parent, 2008;Turner and Westerbeek,2004).If the bid is successful,the bid committee is transformed into the Organizing Committee of an Olympic Games(OCOG).Examples of OCOGs include VANOC(Vancouver2010Olympic Winter Games), LOCOG(London2012Olympic Games),IYOGOC(2012Innsbruck Winter Youth Olympic Games)and Rio2016(Rio2016Olympic Games).During the planning and implementation period,jointly last-ing about seven years,OCOGs will deal with the IOC,NFs and IFs, non-governmental bodies or NGOs,such as the World Anti-Doping Agency(WADA),Court of Arbitration for Sport(CAS),regional and national governments,the media,national and international spon-sors,the community(e.g.residents,tourism organizations,activist groups,local businesses,schools,commerce/business bureaus and venue owners),international delegations(athletes,coaches,support staff,etc.) and other OCOGs(Chappelet and Kübler-Mabbott,2008;Parent,2008). Internally,the OCOG’s top managers will deal with the lower-level employees,as well as the volunteers(Parent,2008).During the wrap-up mode,OCOGs will deal with the IOC and other OCOGs forﬁnal report writing and knowledge-transfer requirements; governments and media for reporting on theﬁnal accounts;venue owners,sport organizations/federations and the community for venue decommissioning,transformation(if needed)and handing over to the community for legacy purposes;and OCOG lower-level employees and volunteers for closing the books,managing any legal issues/challenges (e.g.ambush marketing situations),recognition of work done and assis-tance(if needed)in job searches.Within a year of hosting the Games, the OCOG ceases to exist.As can be seen,there are many different stakeholders to consider, and there are changes when one moves from the bid to the planning/Milena M.Parent17 implementation and then to the wrap-up periods.Moreover,there are other stakeholders to consider if we look at the broader Olympic Move-ment.These other stakeholders interact with the IOC,NOCs,OCOGs and/or sponsors for different programs and activities and include(but are not limited to)international NGOs(e.g.United Nations,United Nations Education,Scientiﬁc and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), International Committee of the Red Cross,World Health Organization), the youth of the world,teachers and parents,SportAccord(the associ-ation of IFs),professional sports leagues,clubs and the scientiﬁc and academic communities.So where does the OCOG actuallyﬁt in within this web or network of stakeholders?Following stakeholder theory,the bid/organizing com-mittee should be placed at the centre of its network of stakeholders, presented in a hub-and-spoke manner.That is if we take the perspective that the OCOG is the main body responsible for planning and hosting a given edition of the Olympic Games.However,the IOC has presented the Olympic Movement’s stakeholders–which are wider reaching than those of an OCOG–in different ways over the years,from concentric cir-cles to inverted pyramids.Figure2.1presents generic examples of these various types of stakeholder maps;for details of the different stakeholder maps and Olympic Movement stakeholders,see Chappelet(2012).Of the various stakeholders mentioned,those stakeholder groups that are important for an OCOG to plan for and host the Olympic Games include:–OCOG staff and volunteers(the internal stakeholder group):these include paid short-and long-term employees,contractors,consul-tants,secondees and the unpaid volunteers.The staff(employees, consultants,secondees and contractors)are responsible for the day-to-day planning for the Games,coordinating with other internal groups or departments(called functional areas),as well as with the different stakeholders associated to their speciﬁc functional area.They can be supported by pre-Games volunteers for certain tasks(e.g.stufﬁng envelopes,manning the phones to provide informationto Games-time volunteers).Certain functional areas,like security or event services,will hire contractors for highly trained jobs or,on the contrary,mundane tasks that the volunteers would likely not want to do.Most volunteers will work during the Games-time period,which can be as early as a month before the opening ceremonies when the media centres and athletes’village become operational.Games-time volunteers are the face of the event;they interact with the public and18Figure2.1Different approaches to mapping Olympic stakeholdersMilena M.Parent19 other stakeholder groups,often more so than the paid staff during Games-time;and they are the key group to actually deliver the Games as they are the ones providing the services(previously planned by the paid staff)to the various clients or stakeholders.Typically,the staff plan the Games and the volunteers deliver them,supervised by paid staff(usually only1or2paid staff per functional area per venue).–Governments:these include the local/regional and national/federal levels of government.The governments’roles and responsibilities include funding a part–sometimes a large part,depending on the political/governance structure of the country–of the Games.This is especially true for venue building and other major infras-tructure projects like constructing roads,new transportation services (underground,light rail,etc.),bridges and airports.These venues and infrastructure projects fall under the OCOG’s capital budget–not to be confused with the operational budget.National/federal level governments also have other responsibilities,such as ensuring health safety standards,public health procedures,immigration/visa/boarder services,security(with military or other law enforcement agencies), economic development and international trade,promotion of the host country,etc.As we move towards the local level,there are still some security(with local/regional law enforcement agencies) and economic/tourism promotion/visibility aspects,but there are also local jurisdictional services at play,such as garbage pick-up,transit system use,snow removal from the streets,etc.So,while upper-government levels may provide much in terms of funding,the local levels provide much in terms of in-kind contributions to the OCOG.–Community:these include the residents,spectators(visitors/tourists and locals),schools/academic institutions and researchers,commu-nity groups,activists,tourism and event organizations,business bureaus,sport commissions,conference boards and other local eco-nomic organizations.The community is the main source of support for tickets/spectators and for creating positive atmosphere and pride within the host region and country.The OCOG must think of the sport competitions but also peripheral activities(e.g.cultural pro-grammes,live sites)to engage the general public and help foster a positive atmosphere.The local,regional and national tourism,event, business and economic organizations can work together with the OCOG to leverage the event for the beneﬁt of their organization and community(see Chalip,2004,2006;Chalip and Leyns,2002;O’Brien, 2007for more information on the leveraging of events to beneﬁt the community).The community is also the key source for where the20Olympic Games Stakeholder Governance and ManagementOCOG willﬁnd its volunteers,as well as where any groups opposing these events(i.e.activists)are likely to be found.Thus,the OCOG needs to build and maintain a collaborative partnership with the community,ensuring that proper communication and information regularlyﬂows between the OCOG and the community.–Sponsors:these include the national and international(i.e.The Olympic Partners or TOP)sponsors.Sponsors are the main source of funding for the operational budget of an OCOG.Through sponsorship activation and their presence and afﬁliation with the event,they promote it,increasing its visibility.OCOGs know in advance,in theory,how much funding they will receive from the TOP sponsors,as well as from the broadcasters,making it easier to plan their budget.The more uncertain funding comes from the national sponsors the OCOGs must sign.The tricky part is to ensure that national sponsors do not infringe on the sponsorship categories of the TOP sponsors.For example,as McDonald’s is the TOP sponsor for the retail food services product category,no other retail food ser-vice provider(e.g.Tim Horton’s in Canada)can be a major sponsor of the OCOG.Likewise,Samsung is the wireless communications equipment TOP sponsor,making other wireless communications companies(e.g.Apple)unable to be a sponsor in this particular category.–Media:these include the accredited press(written,radio and photo-graphic media),broadcasters(i.e.television rights holders)and the non-accredited press and television organizations.The worldwide broadcasters pay signiﬁcant sums of money to be allowed to trans-mit images from the Olympic Games to their respective regions, thereby being an important source of funding for the OCOGs.For example,the organizing committees of the2008Olympic Games and 2010Olympic Winter Games received respectively US$851million and US$414million from the IOC’s broadcast revenues(IOC,2012).For the2010Olympic Winter Games,this represented25per cent of the organizing committee’s operational budget(The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the2010Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games,2010).More generally,however,the media’s role is to report on the Games.By doing so,they increase its visibility and promote it,whether positively or negatively,as well as provide a degree of transparency and accountability–the degree to which depends on the information they can garner/obtain and the host country’s polit-ical system.The difﬁculty lies in the OCOG,like other organizations, not(usually)being able to‘control’the messages sent by the mediaMilena M.Parent21 to their audiences;the OCOG can only control,and only to a cer-tain degree,the messages it provides to the media.As such,the OCOG spends much time,money and other resources(informa-tional,human resources and material)on communications before and during Games-time.OCOGs must make every effort to facilitate the media representatives’job by providing proper accommodations, effective and efﬁcient transportation,access to the necessary tech-nology,a variety of dining options and other peripheral(e.g.dry cleaning)services.They should also provide access to athletes and ‘positive’Games information/stories.Successful public relations man-agement efforts allow the OCOGs to highlight,promote and reinforce positive stories.–Sport federations:these include the local/regional,national,conti-nental and international sport federations,as well as the organizing committees of other events.Aside from the IOC as the key sport orga-nization and event owner,the sport federations have an important role in preparing and hosting the sport competitions.The interna-tional federations(IFs)set the standards and qualiﬁcation require-ments,provide the ofﬁcials and referees and sanction(i.e.approve) the venue and overall sport competition.The technical ofﬁcial pro-vided by the IF is also the person responsible during Games-time to approve the schedule and give the daily go-ahead for the event.For example,if it is windy,the ski jumping technical ofﬁcial will determine whether the day’s competitions will go ahead,and if not, then when to reschedule them(in consultation with the OCOG).The national and regional/local sport federations help with the technical aspects and expertise,and often provide key,experienced volunteers for the event.They also stand to beneﬁt from potential legacies(e.g.new venue,promotion of the sport and its athletes).–International delegations:these include the NOCs,which are responsible for each nation’s athletes,along with the coaches,train-ers and other support staff,as well as parents.The delegations’key contribution is the athletes who will compete during the Games.The NOCs will provide the necessary information to the OCOG to help in its preparation such as providing the number of athletes,coaches and other support staff(press relations,medical,etc.)to the OCOG for accommodation,accreditation,food,cleaning and waste,and trans-portation planning,among others.The Chef de Mission,the head of the NOC’s team during the Games,is the overall boss and helps to coordinate communication and issue resolution between the OCOG and the national team.22Olympic Games Stakeholder Governance and ManagementAﬁnal responsibility shared by the external stakeholders is the confer-ring of a positive or negative reputation on the given edition of the Olympic Games.As the OCOG ceases to exist within a year post-event, while its external stakeholders endure,it is these stakeholders who shape the OCOG’s reputation and how it will evolve(if at all).For example,the 1996Atlanta Olympic Games are seen as the commercial games because of their perceived over-commercialization.It is unlikely that the organiz-ing committee had planned to have its reputation be such;it is,instead, the collective perception of members of the Olympic Movement(e.g. the IOC),the media and other stakeholders who shaped this reputa-tion.Not being in existence anymore means that the Atlanta organizing committee cannot change this reputation.All these stakeholder groups are important in the planning and host-ing of an Olympic Games.However,the relative importance of the different stakeholder groups depends on the exact issue at hand and managerial perspectives(Parent,2008).For example,the marketing functional area manager willﬁnd sponsors and the media to be at the top of their list,whereas human resources or workforce managers will see the community and OCOG staff/volunteers as more impor-tant.As well,different hierarchical management levels will perceive stakeholder salience(importance)differently(Parent,2008).While the above stakeholder groups are central to an OCOG’s efforts to plan for and host the Games,the emergence of the Youth Olympic Games(see International Olympic Committee,2009)has placed a new emphasis on additional stakeholders:young elite athletes(aged15–18 years old),their parents and entourage.The Youth Olympic Games organizers have to tailor not only the sport competition to the young athletes’level but they also have to consider the parents’access to their child,which is an important part of a young person’s life.Given that the athletes are to be present for the full10days of the event,atten-dance at the Culture and Education Programme(CEP)is a requirement for them.The CEP is to be built with the youth in mind,with such activities as drumming,learning about(anti-)doping,learning to cre-ate media content,learning to cook and meeting role models(Olympic champions in the various sports).Moreover,while making the look and feel of the event Olympic,the service levels are not necessarily the same as we would see at the Olympic Games.For example,the transporta-tion system can be a shared shuttle bus system for all clients instead of the segregated transportation systems for athletes,media and Olympic Family,which weﬁnd at the Olympic Games.Milena M.Parent23 Thus,the type of event and the nature of its key clients/stakeholders have an impact on the OCOGs’decisions.However,these decisions are not always easy and must balance numerous stakeholder demands and requirements,which often provide challenges for the OCOG and tensions between the OCOG and its stakeholders,as we examine below.Stakeholder challenges and tensionsGenerally,stakeholders want a return on their investment(ROI).This ROI can take many forms,both tangible and intangible(see also Parent, 2008):–OCOG staff and volunteers may want to increase their skills,grow their personal network,gain experience/become part of the Olympic Games caravan by working for other Games and make new friends.–Governments will generally want the Games to provide economic beneﬁts(e.g.through increased tourism revenues or new interna-tional economic trade partnerships),to increase the visibility of the local host region and host country and to provide physical/tangible(e.g.venue)and intangible(e.g.national pride)legacies.–Community members and organizations will generally want to see some sort of legacy emerge from the event,such as new venues,new infrastructure.However,they are also interested in the event experi-ence:having fun,feeling like they are a part of it and networking(for business and personal reasons).–Sponsors are mainly interested in visibility.Olympic sponsors can spend upwards of3–5times when activating their sponsorship com-pared to what they spent on obtaining the sponsorship rights in the ﬁrst place.This activation increases their visibility–along with the promotional activities of the OCOG for its sponsors–which,it is hoped,turns into increased sales.The continual renewal of TOP spon-sor contracts(e.g.Coca-Cola,McDonald’s)can only mean that the ROI they garner from the Olympic Games is worth the money they spend on the sponsorship and its renewal.–Media want to sell their products,whether via newspapers or the Internet.So,they look for the sensational(read usually negative)sto-ries,and the kinks and cracks in the OCOG’s armour.However,they typically also celebrate the successes of their country’s athletes which helps the athletes’,sports’and the media’s own visibility.As well,the media’s coverage of the Games and the OCOGs allows for stakeholder24Olympic Games Stakeholder Governance and Managementdiscourse to occur(and hopefully more stories written by the media, and more media products sold).–Sport federations want to see their sports and athletes promoted,to increase their visibility and popularity.Thus,the quality of theﬁeld-of-play,the service levels(e.g.quality and scope of services,‘beauty’of venue)and size(e.g.numbers)in terms of accommodations,trans-portation and accreditation,for the athletes,coaches,ofﬁcials and federation ofﬁce holders is of prime importance.–The athletes of the international delegations want to win,therefore the quality of the services provided to them and their entourage, as well as the support they receive from their entourage,is of prime importance in order for the athletes to have the best possible experience.As we can see,these stakeholder groups have varying ROI desires and needs.All stakeholder groups have some sort of material or informa-tional interest,and most have a symbolic(i.e.image/visibility)interest in the Games(Parent,2008).It is important to note,however,that we cannot assume that all levels of governments,for example,want the same thing.There is heterogeneity not only between stakeholder groups but also within stakeholder groups.To use the government example, the desires of the local government–one which is focused more on the needs of its citizens and on operational requirements(e.g.garbage services)–differs from those of the national government–which operates at a more strategic level.These differences create challenges and tensions between stakeholders and with the OCOG.Parent(2008)has identiﬁed13types of issue affect-ing OCOG–stakeholders relationships,which are described in Table2.1. Across the board,the main concern isﬁnancial,followed closely by par-ticipation,relationships and visibility.While these types of issues focus on the OCOG–stakeholder relationship,each stakeholder/stakeholder group has their own set of internal issues to deal with when plan-ning their efforts for an Olympic Games.Research is only beginning in this area.Parent,Rouillard and Leopkey(2011)examined the Canadian govern-ments’coordination and management efforts for the2010Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.They foundﬁve contextual factors affecting governments’efforts:time(or lack thereof,unmovable timelines,etc.), geography(e.g.dealing with a large country and multiple time zones), funding,the need for other resources(e.g.material,information and human resources)and the political situation in the region/country.Table2.1OCOG–stakeholder relationship issuesType of issue Examples External stakeholder groupGovernments Community Sponsors Media Sportfederations

XVisibility Reputation,image,public/corporate supportX X X X XSource:Adapted from Parent(2008)and Parent et al.(2011).Milena M.Parent27 There were also11types of issues found to be associated with the governments’efforts for an Olympic Games:accountability and authority,activation and leveraging,employee turnover,knowledge management,legal aspects,operational concerns,planning,power,rela-tionships,social issues and structure(Parent et al.,2011).While many of these issues are similar to those noted previously by Parent(2008), there are some differences(e.g.legal aspects,social issues).It would be worthwhile,in future studies,to examine other stakeholder groups to determine whether within-stakeholder group-speciﬁc issues exist as well.Nevertheless,one of the important messages seems to be that relationship-based issues–such as interdependence,coordination and communication,accountability and authority,knowledge management, relationships and structure–are a central concern for both the OCOG and its stakeholders.Managing Olympic stakeholder relationsKnowing that OCOGs have so many issues to deal with–as do their stakeholders–and that relationship-based concerns are so central to the process of planning and hosting Olympic Games,how can the OCOG–stakeholder relationships be managed to facilitate the success of an Olympic Games?According to the issues-management literature, problems arise when there is(a)a controversial inconsistency based on one or more expectationalgaps(b)involving management perceptions of changing legitimacy and other stakeholder perceptions of changing cost/beneﬁt positions(c)that occur within or between views of what is and/or what oughtto be corporate performance or stakeholder perceptions of corpo-rate performance and(d)imply an actual or anticipated resolution that creates signiﬁcant,identiﬁable present or future impact on the organization.(Wartick and Mahon,1994,p.306) Therefore,the key to managing OCOG–stakeholder relations is to estab-lish expectations from the outset.This involves all key stakeholders, even the possibility of co-opting stakeholders who are perceived as ‘problematic’or adversarial from the outset,for example,by making them ofﬁcial partners of the Games.For example,Sydney co-opted Greenpeace to help with the‘greening’of the2000Olympic Games, thereby making it hard for Greenpeace to critique the organizing28Olympic Games Stakeholder Governance and Managementcommittee’s efforts,while Vancouver made the four aboriginal groups on whose lands the2010Olympic Winter Games would take place partners of the Games(i.e.the Four Host First Nations)in part to facil-itate cooperation and overall relationships during the planning and hosting of the2010Games(and therefore decrease chances of protests occurring).Furthermore,these partnerships can be formalized,which will help in clarifying expectations,understanding how the relationship should be managed and in conﬂict resolution.This formalization can occur through Memorandums of Understanding(MOUs)or Multi-Party Agree-ments(MPAs).The key partners in Vancouver’s bid for the2010Olympic Winter Games signed an MPA in2002(the decision being made on 2July2003).This MPA essentially outlined the roles and responsibili-ties of each partner,the expectations from the partners for the future OCOG(which would become VANOC)and how conﬂicts would be resolved.Parent and her colleagues(2011)queried the Canadian gov-ernment partners associated with the2010Vancouver Games;these partners repeatedly mentioned the MPA as an important document,one which often clariﬁed potential relationship-management issues with other partners and ways to proceed.Formalizing relationships and partnerships is but one best practice. Another important practice is to focus on the process of relationship building and management.There are different interaction methods that can be used for different types of stakeholders.While internal and external stakeholders were noted above(as one way to catego-rize the stakeholder groups),Ponsford and Williams(2010)classify stakeholders according to whether they are passive or active.Each type of stakeholder has suggested ways of effective communication based on the stakeholder’s degree of interest.Table2.2provides a description of passive and active stakeholders,as well as how the OCOG should/can interact with them.A critical component of building and maintaining positive working relationships with stakeholders is open,constant,two-way communication(Parent,2010).If the stakeholder feels a part of the process(assuming they want to be more than just made aware of what the OCOG is doing),then the OCOG’s job will be made easier.Other strategies an OCOG can employ to build and manage stakeholder relationships effectively include principles associated with instrumental stakeholder management(Donaldson and Preston,1995), strategic management(i.e.creating a mission,goals,benchmarks and control systems)and relationship marketing,which is marketing based on interactions within a network of stakeholder relations(Ferrand。

在奥运冠军身上学到的精神英语作文

在奥运冠军身上学到的精神英语作文The penultimate appearance, she chose the most difficult female athletes in the difficulty coefficient of 4.293. Dive, take-off and spin in the air. The action is done in one go, and the landing is crisp. She pointed her hands to the sky and shouted. On the evening of February 14, Chinese athlete xumengtao won the gold medal in freestyle skiing women's air skills at the Beijing Winter Olympics. This is the fifth gold medal won by the Chinese delegation in this winter Olympics, and it is also the first time that Chinese women athletes have won a gold medal in this event in the Winter Olympics. As a result, the Chinese team also equalled the best record set by the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics."There is no waiting brilliance, only fighting brilliance." After winning the championship, xumengtao roared up to the sky and couldn't help crying in his embrace with his opponent. This scene made many people "break the defense" for it. Before the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Xu Mengtao'santerior cruciate ligament in his right leg was broken; Before the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Xu Mengtao suffered tears in the right transverse process of the cervical disc and the medial ligament of his right leg; During the Pingchang Winter Olympics, xumengtao suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his left leg... During the Beijing Winter Olympics, xumengtao also chose to have meniscus surgery on both legs. This gold medal is really hard won, condensing too much struggle and effort.Participated in the Winter Olympics for four times and explained the true meaning of persistence. "Those who have made great achievements in ancient times not only have extraordinary talents, but also have the will to be patient.". Over the years, xumengtao has paid too much. She threw her body from a height of more than ten meters to the cold water again and again, and she never flinched. This is xumengtao's fourth time to participate in the Winter Olympics. She also perfectly interprets the true meaning of persistence. Xumengtao sighed: "I want to say one thing now. Please don'tgive up your efforts. Your efforts may help you at some time, and it must be at the most critical time."Every time you sweat, you make a legend. On February 10, three veterans of the Chinese team, xumengtao, jiazongyang and qiguangpu, won a silver medal in the mixed team final of freestyle skiing in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which excited the Chinese people. However, it is little known that an accident in 2015 resulted in three comminuted fractures of Jia Zongyang's left leg. Qiguangpu, who is in his early 30s, also had a concussion in the competition. Even though they are scarred, they still choose to return to the field because of their reluctance to give up the project. In the sweat, he achieved a legend."The place where you stand is your China. China will be what you are." Xumengtao often encourages himself by saying that "it is a mission and an honor to win gold medals for the motherland". Renziwei, the champion of the men's 1000m short track speed skating final in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, once said that "we can give everything for the countryand make contributions to the country". Working hard for the motherland not only shows the athletes' perseverance, but also vividly interprets the Chinese sports spirit with "winning glory for the country, selfless dedication, scientific and realistic, law-abiding, unity and cooperation, and tenacious struggle" as its main content.Difficulties and hardships make you successful. People will never forget that when Beijing and Zhangjiakou successfully applied for the Winter Olympic Games in 2015, about 1/3 of all the events of the Winter Olympic Games had not been carried out in China. After more than six years of overcoming difficulties and forging ahead, China's ice and snow sports have embarked on a road of leapfrog development. Of course, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can never be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums, nor can it be achieved overnight. On the new journey of building a powerful modern socialist country in all respects, we are working hard to write a new chapter in the pursuit of China's dream.。

【空四种传播】电视体育解说传播功能新探_以温哥华冬奥会为例

在3月1日闭幕的温哥华冬季奥运会上，我国体育健儿获得了5金2银4铜共11块奖牌，创造了中国参加冬季奥运会以来的最好成绩。

中央电视台对这一国际体育赛事进行了现场直播，为受众提供了一场丰盛的体育大餐。

在直播中，专业解说员和嘉宾解说员积极配合，发挥了体育比赛“把关人”“意见领袖”和“议程设置者”等角色功能。

①电视体育解说是连接体育比赛和电视受众的纽带，是受众获得电视画面以外信息的重要来源，是赛事直播必不可少的内容之一。

在对本次冬奥会体育解说文本分析的基础上，我们认为可以将电视体育解说的传播功能概括为四个方面，即知识传播、新闻传播、情绪传播和形象传播。

一、知识传播传播知识是新闻传播事业的基本功能，也是电视体育解说的目的之一。

电视体育节目的受众具有广泛性，既包括对体育比赛非常熟悉的受众，也包括对体育比赛不甚了解的受众。

自我国成功举办2008年北京奥运会以来，社会公众对体育比赛的热情空前高涨，因此，“后奥运”时代的电视受众，也就格外关注本届冬季奥运会。

但是，相对于夏季奥运会的比赛项目而言，受众对冬奥会的比赛项目比较陌生，并不十分了解项目的比赛规则和运动员的基本情况，此种情况下，传播那些与比赛相关的、不为多数观众所了解的、帮助观众更好的欣赏的信息成为了电视体育解说员的一项重要职能。

在电视体育解说中，解说员需要传播的知识主要包括：比赛性质、参赛双方水平、运动员情况、体育术语、技术特点以及与比赛相关的国内外历史、地理、人文、体育史等。

②体育知识传播要注意与该项目的普及程度相结合，对普及程度高的项目要注意介绍更深的专业知识，对不为多数观众熟悉的项目多介绍普及性的专业信息。

冰壶是一项电视受众较为陌生的体育运动。

在本次冬奥会的冰壶比赛中，体育解说员耐心细致的为受众介绍了这个体育项目的比赛知识，其中包括冰壶的比赛规则、比赛技巧、冰壶运动在全球的开展情况、我国冰壶队的战绩、冰壶运动的组队特点、每一位运动员的基本情况。

这些知识翔实全面，让一些本来对冰壶运动一无所知的电视观众很快就能了解这一比赛项目。

冬奥会历届在哪里举办

历届冬奥会盘点第1届法国夏蒙尼19241921年，国际奥林匹克委员会决定于1924年在法国的夏蒙尼举行“1924国际冬季体育运动周”活动，在这项活动结束两年后，国际奥委会正式确认这届比赛为第一届冬季奥运会。

在法国夏蒙尼冬季奥运会上决出的第一个项目是男子500米速度滑冰，来自美国的运动员查尔斯朱特劳获得了这个项目的金牌，这也是冬季奥运会历史上的第一枚金牌。

在这届奥运会中，来自芬兰的速滑运动员克拉斯桑伯格夺取了３金１银１铜，成为获得奖牌最多的运动员。

第2届瑞士圣莫里茨19281928年在瑞士圣莫里兹举行的第二届冬奥会是第一次在与当年的夏季奥运会不同的城市举行的冬季奥运会。

在这届比赛中，俯式冰橇第一次成为冬季奥运会的比赛项目。

继在第一届冬奥会上夺得三枚金牌后，来自挪威的越野滑雪运动员托·豪格在这届奥运会上再次夺得两枚金牌。

同样来自挪威的女子花样滑冰运动员索尼娅·赫妮以15岁的年龄夺得这届冬奥会的花样滑冰女子单人滑金牌，成为最年轻的冬季奥运会个人项目金牌获得者，并将这一纪录保持了74年。

第3届美国普莱西德湖1932 第三届冬季奥运会于1932年在美国纽约州的一个不到4000人的小镇普莱西德湖举行，这是冬季奥运会自从1924年举办以来，首次来到美洲大陆。

由于刚刚经历了一场全球范围的经济大萧条，这届奥运会的筹办工作受到了极大的经济困扰。

组委会主席杜威（GodfreyDewey）捐出自己家族的一块地，做为兴建雪橇比赛车道之用。

在这届奥运会的女子花样滑冰比赛中，挪威选手索尼娅赫妮成功卫冕；此外在花样滑冰双人项目中，法国组合安布吕内和皮布吕内也成功卫冕夺得金牌。

第4届德国加米施-帕滕基兴1936 第四届冬季奥林匹克运动会于１９３６年在德国的两个城市加米施和帕滕基兴举行。

在这届奥运会上，主办方高效率的公共汽车服务将50万观众带到了最后一天比赛的赛场，成为早期奥运会历史上少见的盛况。

高山滑雪在本届奥运会上首次成为正式比赛项目，但也引起争议：国际奥委会否定了其下属的国际滑雪联合会的比赛规则，不允许滑雪教练员参加奥运会，因为国际奥委会认为他们都是职业运动员，与国际奥委会只允许业余运动员参加比赛的精神相违背。

Intensive Study And, on skis, I did what he said. On other matters, though, I was rebellious. Once, he packed 10 of us into a Finnish bachelor’s tiny home for a low-budget ski camp. We awoke the first morning to find Nikolai making breakfast and then made quick work with our spoons while sitting on makeshift chairs around a tiny card table. When we were finished, Nikolai stacked the sticky bowls in front of my sole female teammate and me, asserting, “Now, girls do dishes!” 13 I threw my napkin on the floor and swore at him, “Ask the damn boys! This is unfair.” He never asked this of me again, nor did he take much notice of my outburst. He saved his passion for skiing.
Intensive Study
9 Romantic and otherwise, Nikolai knew love. His consistent good
humor, quiet gratitude, perceptivity, and sincerity set an Olympic standard for love that I continue to reach for, even though my skiing days are over. 10 Still, he never babied me. One February day I had a massive headache and felt quite fatigued. I came upon him in a clearing, and after approximately 15 minutes of striding into the cold breeze over the whiter powder to catch him, I fussed, “Oh, Nikolai, I feel like I am going to die.” 11 “When you are a hundred years old, everybody dies,” he said, indifferent to my pain. “But now,” he continued firmly, “Now must be ski, ski, ski.”

高考英语优秀作文篇1Dear David：Ive learned it from the Internet that you want to make a Chinese friend so as to learn the Chinese language and culture. Im glad that you show such great interest in China and I would like to be your friend.I will try my best to write to you as often as possible to introduce you the Chinese culture. When you have an opportunity to come to China, Ill teach you how to speak Chinese and show you around some famous historical places of interest. Anyway, I am going to help you as much as I can. How do you think?Im looking forward to your reply .高考英语优秀作文篇2The early bird will catch wormsAn old saying "The early bird will catch worms" reminds us that if people want to be successful and outstanding, they must plan ahead of time and make their efforts to overcome all the possible difficulties.For example, the Chinese athletes excellent performance in 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver is definitely the result of their early planning and hard training. If they don t set the aim and word work, even though they have the best talents, they cantcompete with others and get more medals.Another case in point is my learning experience. I was good at English, but I couldnt pass the exam, for I wasnt prepared well before the examination. I had many things to solve at that time. As I met the complex things, I was at a loss. The reason was that I had no plan and involved in many things and didnt study more hard, so I failed.In short, the saying shows us the important of planning, working hard and constantly trying.高考英语优秀作文篇3Dear brothers and sisters：On behalf of the University Students Union, I, the Chairman of the Union , am earnestly calling for your active participation in our environmental protection campaign.

奥林匹克运动会介绍英语作文大学

奥林匹克运动会介绍英语作文大学The Awesome Olympic Games!Do you know what the Olympic Games are? They are the biggest and most exciting sports competition in the whole world! Athletes from almost every country come together to compete in all different kinds of sports. It's a huge party of sports that happens every four years.The Olympic Games started a really, really long time ago in ancient Greece. Way back then, the ancient Greeks held a festival every four years to honor Zeus, who was the king of all the Greek gods. Part of this festival included athletic competitions like running, wrestling, boxing, and other sports. Only men were allowed to compete back then though.The ancient Olympic Games went on for almost 1200 years until they were stopped in 393 AD. But then they were brought back to life again in 1896! A French guy named Pierre de Coubertin helped start the modern Olympic Games as we know them today. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece with athletes from 14 countries.Since that 1896 restart, the Olympic Games have been held every four years, except for a few times when they got canceledbecause of World War I and World War II. They move to a different city and country each time to give everyone a chance to host. Isn't that neat?At the Olympic Games, there are competition events for tons of different sports. Some of the most popular ones are athletics (like running, jumping, and throwing), swimming, gymnastics, football (or soccer as we call it in America), basketball, and volleyball. But there are so many more!Did you know they even have olympic competitions for super random sports like trampoline, table tennis (ping pong), archery with bows and arrows, equestrian (horse riding), badminton with those funny little birdies, fencing with swords, and even a crazy thing called modern pentathlon where you do pistol shooting, fencing, swimming, running, and horse riding all combined into one event! Wild, right?My personal favorite Olympic sports to watch are gymnastics and snowboarding. I just think the gymnasts are so strong, flexible and fearless to do all those crazy flips and jumps. And snowboarding looks like a total blast, shredding down the mountain doing tricks in the fresh powder.But no matter what the sport is, it's always so inspiring to watch the Olympic athletes. They have to train harder thananything for years and years, making huge sacrifices and facing challenges to earn their spot to compete at the Games. When you see them up on the winner's podium with their gold medals, crying tears of joy, it makes me want to work hard to chase my own dreams too.Speaking of those medal ceremonies, that's another one of the coolest Olympic traditions. When an athlete wins a competition, they get to stand on a podium and receive their gold, silver or bronze medal. I'd choose the gold one for sure! While the national anthem of their country plays, they get to see their nation's flag get raised up high. Doesn't that just give you chills thinking about standing up there in front of the whole world after accomplishing your dream?The Olympic mascots are pretty fun and cute too. Like at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janerio, the mascot was this crazy looking cartoon critter named Vinicius. He had a yellow body, green hair, and was a mix between all kinds of different Brazilian animals and creatures. I thought he was so goofy and funny looking!But my all-time favorite Olympic mascot goes to Quatchi from the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. He was this explosive sort of buggy critter made out of rocks and trees and plants andstuff. I just loved his big goofy smile and crazy arms and legs. You better have gotten one of those Quatchi plushie dolls if you went to those Olympics in person!One of the neatest things about the Olympics is how they bring together athletes and fans from literally every corner of the globe. No matter what country you're from or what language you speak or what you look like, we all share in the pure joy of sports and celebrating humanity's ability to push itself to amazing athletic heights.And it's not just about the competitions themselves either. The whole Olympic movement promotes values like perseverance, teamwork, respect, excellence, and international friendship. Those ideas of bringing people together through sports are really powerful if you ask me.I mean, can you imagine how incredible it would be to walk out during the opening ceremony? There you'd be, inside a huge stadium representing your country along with thousands of other athletes from around the world, while the whole planet is watching you guys on TV. Everyone would be waving their nation's flag and just overwhelmed with national pride. What an unforgettable feeling that must be!Whether you're a winter sports fan waiting for the next Olympics in Italy in 2026 or more of a summer sports person looking forward to Los Angeles in 2028, there's something for everyone to admire and get hyped about with the Olympic Games.Sure, they may seem a little over-the-top and cheesy to some people with all the traditions, ceremonies, and funny mascots. But when you get right down to it, the Olympics are all about citizens of the world coming together in a spirt of friendly competition to celebrate how incredible the human body and mind can be when pushed to their absolute physical and mental limits.To me, there's nothing quite like the Olympic Games! I can't wait to someday attend one in person. Or who knows, maybe I'll even be an Olympic athlete myself and get to hear them announce my name as I'm stepping up to a podium for a medal ceremony. Hey, a kid can dream, right? Go Olympics!。

I don’t think we need to worry.W: True. But there are a lot of wild drivers out there.M: Come on. Just relax. She will be fine.(Text 5)W: Oh, where on earth are we?M: It seems we are near the heart of the downtown area ― the most unsuitable place for a picnic. W: Why don’t you stop and ask a policeman how to get back onto the main highway?M: But it says “NONSTOP” here. By the way, where is the policeman?

It is so exciting.M: Y ou can’t do that for ever.W: No, but I’ve decided to open a singing school once I’ve moved to the top. A lot of young singers need better training.M: That’s a good idea.(Text 8)W: Do you think the Internet is good?M: Of course! The Internet can help us learn more things. We can find information we need.And ...W: Wait, some people would agree with you. But I don’t think so. Now there are many students throwing themselves into the Internet and can’t get out. And their grades come down really quickly.M: But everyone needs relaxation. Of course they relaxed a lot, but we can’t think the Internet is bad. It can help us in many ways. We can visit the school website and learn things we don’t know very much because we are all students. Don’t you think so? We can use it in many ways, although some are bad, but not all ways are bad. I think you have used it before.W: Yeah, it’s true. But there is much unhealthy information, you know.M: But there is even more useful information. Why do you only see the bad side of the Internet?

By the way, which garage?M: Pardon?W: Which garage did you take it to?M: Uh, the one near my flat. Lewis Brothers.W: Oh, I know the garage. It’s the only one near your flat.M: Well now, let’s have something to eat.

When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs don’t last long. The leaders of an industr y want their factories to produce as many goods as possible, and they will try their best to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are taken the place of by more efficient machines. As a result, those trained for a specific factory job lose their jobs. What’s more, the owners of factories want to make the profits as high as possible. Many experts in Third World economics are worried about rapid industrialization because it brings problems as well as progress. The leaders of Third World countries should be aware of the dangers as well as the advantages of rapid industrialization.【参考答案】1-5 BABCA6-10 BCABC11-15 ACABB 16-20 CABAC21-25 DBAAB 26-30 CCAAD31-35 ACADB 36-40 BDDCA41-45 BCBAD 46-50 BDBCA51-55 CBACA 56-60 DBBCA61-65 DDBCB 66-70 CBACD71. in which we flew to72. will we be taken apart73.
