Task 1

Directions: Decide the following statements true or false according to the passage. Write T/F accordingly.

Every emblem of the Olympics tells a beautiful story. When the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games emblem “Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing” was first presented to the International Olympic Committee, the IOC officials all gave it high praise, saying it was the best emblem ever designed.

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games emblem is filled with Beijing’s hospitality and hopes, and carries the commitment made to the Olympic Movement by a country that has a population of 1.3 billion and by a nation with both ancient civilization and modern culture.

“Dancing Beijing” is a symbol of trust and an expression of self confidence, standing for the promise that Beijing — the host city of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games — has made to the world and to all mankind.

“Dancing Beijing” is in a favorite color of the Chinese people. The color “red” is intensively used in the emblem, pushing the passion up to a new level. It carries Chinese people’s longing for luck and hap piness and their explanation of life. Red is the color of the Sun and the Holy Fire, symbolizing life and a new beginning. Red represents a mind at ease, symbolizes vitality, and conveys China’s blessing and invitation to the world.

“Dancing Beijing” calls upon heroes. Olympic Games function as the stage where heroes are made, records broken and medals earned.

“Dancing Beijing” is a kind invitation. The open arms in the emblem say that China is opening its arms to welcome the rest of the world to join the Olympics, a celebration of “peace, friendship and progress of mankind”.

“Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar?” Come to Beijing, take a good look at the historical heritage of China’s capital city, and feel the pulse of the country’s modernization. Come, share every piece of its joy, and experience the slogan “One World, One Dream”.

A car is made up of more than 30 000 parts. Each part in a new car is as weak as a baby. So a new car requires proper care and servicing. If you're unfamiliar with the parts, you have to read through the owner's instructions carefully.

First of all, the brakes (刹车) of your car are important for safety (安全) reasons. Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider is engine care. Always remember that the life and performance of your car engine depend on the engine oil. Replace the engine oil when recommended. If you feel the engine is very hot especially during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn't work well. You'd better get the cooling system serviced before the start of summer.

In a word, timely and proper servicing is an important task for car owners. Good servicing can not only extend the life of your newborn baby, but also ensure your safety, and the safety of those who share the road with you.

11. To get familiar with the parts of a new car, the owner should ______.

A) regard the car as a new-born baby
