The 2016 Summer Olympics was a major international sport event held in Rio, Brazil, (巴西里约) from 5 August to 21 August 2016.

More than 11,000 athletes took part. With 306 sets of medals, the games had 28 Olympic sports, including rugby sevens（7人制橄榄球） and golf, which were added to the Olympic program in 2009. These sporting events took place at 33 sports centres in the host(主办) city.

On 2 October 2009. Rio became the first South American city to host the Summer Olympics. These were the first games to be held in a Portuguese（葡萄牙语）-speaking country.

Some problems happened during the Rio Olympics, including the management of the country's government; health and safety problems and terrible pollution in the Guanabara Bay(海湾); and a doping scandal（吸毒丑闻） about Russia, which has affected the attending of its athletes in the Games.

The USA was on the top of the medal form for the fifth time in the past six Summer Olympics, winning the most golds (46) and most medals overall (121), as well as its 1,000th Olympic gold medal overall. The UK finished second and China finished third. Host country Brazil won seven gold medals, its most at any single Summer Olympics, finishing in thirteenth place.

The 31st Summer Olympics will be held in Brazil in 2016. Before this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn’t exist any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.

Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)

This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a crime scene of feathers and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.

Kabaddi (1936)

This sport is popular in South Asia. The object is for one member of a team to enter the other side’s half of the field, and score points. The attacker then returns to his half of the field.

12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)

Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.

Tug of War (1900—1920)

This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC.

There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.

Swimming Obstacle Race (1900)

The athletes had to climb over a pole (杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.

The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo has been put off because of the COVID-19. To welcome the great event, Japan has made 5, 000 medals for the winners. But these Olympic medals are very special. They are all made out of recycled electronic devices(电子设备).

One goal of the Tokyo Olympics is to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are environmentally friendly. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metals recycled from old electronic devices.

You might not know it, but almost all the electronic devices are made with small quantities of precious metals (贵金属), like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5, 000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the quantity of metals in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.

Beginning in April 2017, organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices for the Olympic medals. Soon people began to fill up the boxes, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, and laptops. At first, the collection work went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to turn in electronic devices, And 1,621 local governments also helped with the collection work. The Japanese mobile phone company NTT Docomo collected 6.21 million used cell phones. In all, around 71,667, 600 kilograms of electronic devices were collected.

Then came the job of breaking those phones down into smaller pieces. This is a tricky(棘手) job. It is also likely to cause danger, because some of the metals and other things that go into electronic devices aren’t safe for people to touch or breathe. That's why it's not a good idea to try something like this at home. Once the devices were broken down, the metals had to be carefully separated out.

On July 24, 2019, the design for the awards was announced. And by the end of March this year, the organizers had reached their goal.

1.Why does the author say the Tokyo Olympic medals are special?

A.They can be recycled into other products. B.They are small in size and large in number.

C.They are made out of old electronic devices. D.They are green and seem environmentally friendly.

2.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 4?

A.To show the difficulty of the collection work.

B.To thank those who helped with the collection work.

C.To stress the importance of many people working together.

D.To give information on how the collection work was done.

3.What does the author think of the break-down work?

A.Dirty and tiring. B.Hard and dangerous.

C.Boring but rewarding. D.Interesting but challenging.
