If a city wishes to  host the Olympics, it must submit a proposal(提交提案) to the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated, the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined. Typically the Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.
In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of growing importance television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city’s time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.
Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee----not the IOC or the NOC of the host city’s country to provide them with money. This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入), and corporate sponsorships(社團贊助), tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have achieved amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. When the financial gains from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts

GU Zhaodi, 60, had taken water for granted for years. In fact, no one in the beautiful lake city of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province had bothered to spare a thought on water.

    But all that changed dramatically overnight last month when taps in the city ran dry. Due to a blue-green algae(藻類)  outbreak in Taihu Lake, China’s third largest freshwater lake and the source of drinking water for 4 million Wuxi residents(居民),water from the city’s taps became dark and smelly.

   “I can’t believe there is no water for drinking, let alone cooking and washing,” said Gu.

   The lake was blanketed with the algae, giving off a strong smell of rotting meat. A stone thrown into it took a long time to sink. Experts said that algae usually boom because of hot water and rich chemicals like phosphor(磷)in the water.

   “High temperature and a lack of rain in the past few months helped the growth of algae,” said Zhang Lijun, an official from the State Environment Protection Administration. “However, pollution from human activity should be most blamed for the disaster.”

    Taihu Lake is surrounded by many small factories, which sprang up in the 1980s.Inthe 1990s,many foreign-funded(外資的) companies joined in. The industries prospered(繁榮),Wuxi has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in East China.

    But that came at the price of pollution. The lake was treated like a waste dump(垃圾堆),with factories emptying industrial waste and untreated sewage(污水)into it.

    Although, after the government's effort, life in the city has gone back to normal, the one-week crisis(危機)rang a bell for the government and local people.” It’s time to rebuild the beauty of nature, or our lives will be at risk,” said Gu.

   “A safe environment comes first. Economic growth will be nothing without fresh water to drink and clean air to breathe.” said China Daily.

 

 36. The following can help the blue green algae grow______

 A. high water temperature  B. rich chemicals in the water

 C. a lack of rain               D. plentiful water and sunshine

37.  What can we learn from the passage?

A. The one-week disaster has made the local people realize the importance of building a beautiful city.

B. It is human activity rather than the algae that is to blame for the water Pollution.

C. Only when the environment is safe and friendly can man live a better and healthier life.

D. Environment should be taken into consideration first if a city plans to develop its economic.
