1. Прочитайте и переведите текст “The Olympic Flame” на русский язык.
The Olympic Flame
The head of state of the host country declares the games open. The Olympic flag is raised, trumpets play, and cannons boom 1in salute. Hundreds of doves are released into the air as a symbol of peace.
The most dramatic moment of the opening ceremony is the lighting of the Olympic flame. Runners in cross-country relays bring a lighted torch from the valley of Olympia, Greece, where the ancient Olympics were held. Thousands of runners take part in the journey, which starts four weeks before the opening of the Games. They represent Greece and each country that lies between Greece and the host nation. Planes and ships transport the torch across mountains and seas. The final runner carries the torch into the stadium, circles the track, and lights the Olympic flame. The flame is kept burning until the end of the Games. This custom started in 1936.
The modern Olympics were organized to encourage world peace and friendship and to promote amateur athletics. The Olympic symbol consists of five interlocking rings that represent the continents of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America. The rings are blue, black,red, yellow and green. The flag of every nation competing in the Games has at least one of these colours. The Olympic motto is Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger).
