The Olympics of Ancient Greece
Although records cannot verify games earlier than 776 B.C., the contests in Homer ’s Iliad indicate a much earlier competitive tradition. Held in honor of Zeus in the city of Olympia for four days every fourth summer, the Olympic games were the oldest and most prestigious of four great ancient Greek athletic festivals, which also included the Pythian games at Delphi, the Isthmian at Corinth, and the Nemean at Argos (the Panathenaea at Athens was also important). The Olympics reached their height in the 5th–4th cent. B.C.; thereafter they became more and more professionalized until, in the Roman period, they provoked much censure. They were eventually discontinued by Emperor Theodosius I of Rome, who condemned them as a pagan spectacle, at the end of the 4th cent. A.D. |v 1*
[( Among the Greeks, the games were nationalistic in spirit; states were said to have been prouder of Olympic victories than of battles won. Women, foreigners, slaves, and dishonored persons were forbidden to compete. Contestants were required to train faithfully for 10 months before the games, had to remain 30 days under the eyes of officials in Elis, who had charge of the games, and had to take an oath that they had fulfilled the training requirements before participating. At first, the Ol ympic games were confined to running, but over time new events were added: the long run (720 B.C.), when the loincloth was abandoned and athletes began competing naked; the pentathlon, which combined running, the long jump, wrestling, and discus and spear throwing (708 B.C.); boxing (688 B.C.); chariot racing (680 B.C.); the pankration (648 mO8/eVws[M B.C.), involving boxing and wrestling contests for boys (632 B.C.); and the foot race with armor
(580 B.C.).
Greek women, forbidden not only to participate in but also to watch the Olympic games, held games of their own, called the Heraea. Those were also held every four years but had fewer events than the Olympics. Known to have been conducted as early as the 6th cent. B.C., the Heraea games were discontinued about the time the Romans conquered Greece. Winning was of prime importance in both male and female festivals. The winners of the Olympics (and of the Heraea) were crowned with chaplets of wild olive, and in their home city-states male champions were also awarded numerous honors, valuable gifts, and privileges. v}IhO~`uEq

Architects are hopeless when it comes to deciding whether the public will view their designs
as marvels or monstrosities, according to a study by Canadian psychologists. They say designers should go back to school to learn about ordinary people’s tastes.
Many buildings that appeal to architects get the thumbs down from the public. Robert Gifford
of the University of Victoria in British Columbia decided to find out whether architects understand public preferences and simply disagree with them, or fail to understand the lay person’s view.
With his colleague graham brown, he asked 25 experienced architects to look at photos of 42 large buildings in the US, Canada, Europe and Hong Kong. The architects predicted how the public would rate the buildings on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 represented “terrible” and 10 a#& ( i “excellent”. a further 27 people who were not architects also scored the buildings out of 10. In
addition, eightarchitects gave their own personal ratings of the buildings.
The three groups tended to agree among themselves on a building’s merits. And architects correctly predicted that lay people would on average rate buildings higher than they did themselves. but for individual buildings, the architects’ perceptions of what the lay people would think were often way off the mark. “Some architects are quite good at predicting lay preferences, but others are not onl y poor at it, they get it backwards.” says Gifford. UP%
6s:>: For instance, architects gave the Stockley Park building b-3 offices in London a moderate rating of 5.2. They thought the public would like it much better, predicting a rating of 6.3. But the public actually disliked the offices, and gave it 4.7. Gifford thinks that lay people respond to specific features of buildings, such as durability and originality, and hopes to pin down what they are. ^Xu4N
"@ “Architects in architecture school need to be taught how lay people think about buildings,”
Gifford concludes. He doesn’t think designers should pander to the lowest common denominator,but suggests they should aspire towards buildings that appeal to the public and architects alike, such as the bank of china building in Hong Kong. y f4L0. Marco Goldschmidt of the Richard Rogers partnership, designers of the millennium dome in London, thinks the study is flawed. “The authors have assumed, wrongl y, that buildings can be meaningfully judged from photographs rather than actual visits,” he says. Goldschmidt thinks it would be more significant and interesting to look at the divergence of public taste between generations. WIpV'F|t]`

Passage ⅳ[font=ëîìå, sans-serif]
Bangladeshi communities that are already being poisoned b y arsenic-tainted ( 含砷 ) groundwater are facing an appalling new threat. Their rice and vegetables are also laced with high levels of arsenic. _L$a[zH The health effects of eating such tainted food are not yet known, but the ramifications (门类)
could be enormous. The WHO says contaminated drinking water alone could kill 270,000
Bangladeshis over the next decade.
In a terrible irony, arsenic entered the Bangladeshi water supply when UNICEF and other international agencies sank millions of tube wells to provide clean drinking water. But the wells tapped into groundwater contaminated by arsenic from sedimentary deposits deep below Bangladesh. 0\X<vrW To deal with the problem, UNICEF and the World Bank have been testing water from wells and marking them safe or dangerous — but that testing program has been found to be flawed. To make matters worse, water from the wells is also used to irrigate paddy fields. However, until now 8&|
o it wasn’t known whether or not the rice was accumulating arsenic. Tests on rice samples from around Bangladesh and found that arsenic levels did indeed vary according to the strength of local arsenic contamination in the soil and groundwater. kc' t Arsenic levels in different varieties of rice ranged from about 0.05 to 1.8 parts per million. In
Europe and the US, levels are around 0.05 parts per million. The WHO recommends a maximum level of 0.01 parts per million in drinking water — but there are no guidelines for levels in foods,Ravi Naidu at CSIRO in Adelaide and his colleagues have been studying the uptake of arsenic from the soil b y Bangladeshi crops. ?+.C@_ QZQ Their data shows that arum, a popular vegetable, has arsenic levels of nearl y 150 parts per million. It is usuall y grown in wet zones adjacent to the tube wells. But some vegetables such as spinach and beans are relatively free from arsenic. The rice grains studied by Naidu’s team had arsenic levels that ranged from undetectable to over 1.6 parts per million. Their calculations show that nearly 30 per cent of the total arsenic intake for people in Bangladesh may be coming from their food. #kq!{5, If the body can absorb arsenic from food—and this is yet to be proven - then merely tackling
drinking water contamination will not be enough. Researchers fear that paddy（水稻） fields will continue to be irrigated from poisoned tube wells because Bangladesh does not have enough
