The 2016 Olympic Games in Rio may have drawn world-class athletes from around the world, but it was the supermodel Gisele Bundchen that stole the show in an extremely attractive dress in what might have been her biggest catwalk moment to date.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen was born in July 20, 1980 in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sol, Brazil. Originally she wanted to be a professional volleyball player. After being spotted at age 14 in a shopping mall in Sao Paulo, Bundchen moved to New York City to begin her fashion modeling career in 1996 and is now "the most famous face" in the business.

Gisele's first Vogue magazine cover appeared on newsstands in July 1999, and since then, she has become one of the most internationally recognized models. Gisele appeared in more than 7,000 magazine covers around the world. The only woman who made more covers was Princess Diana. Bundchen is said to be the highest paid supermodel of all time, earning a reported $ 33 million in 2007, which has risen by 12 million dollars by 2016.

Although she retired from the runway in 2015 to focus on her family and other projects, Gisele made this--the Opening Ceremony' in her Brazil--her brilliant return, which is for sure the longest runway she has ever walked in her life.

The 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.

Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won the third place in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her straightforward character and attitude towards competitions.

This year at the Olympic Games in Rio, you might stumble across a pretty interesting sight outside of the various stadiums holding competitions around the city.

Meet Chen Guanming, a 60-year-old Chinese farmer who pedaled his rickshaw (人力车) all the way from China to Rio. He calls himself “Olympic madman,” and surely he deserves it: this is the third Olympic Games he rode to. Brazilians welcomed him with the best friendship and a splendid show after he arrived in Rio a week earlier.

Seventeen years ago, he embarked the crazy adventure as an Olympics chaser: he toured around China before attending the Beijing Olympics in 2008, then made it to London in 2012, and now he’s in Rio. He plans to finish his global journey in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics.

He doesn’t really have money, but strangers he met on the road have been pouring support to him: a heartfelt encouragement, a warm meal, or a lift up a hill — the rickshaw, his good buddy, carries all his luggage and weighs as heavy as 400 pounds.

Zsofia Korodi, a Hungarian living in London, set up a Facebook fan page after being “inspired by his actions,” so that supporters keep track of him. That way his journeys are pieced together, and people call out the next town to look out and take care of him. When there’s water to cross, people he met fly him over, and he will patiently wait for the rickshaw to arrive by ship.

Chen spent two years, traveled almost 40,000 miles to get to the London Olympics. For Rio, he hopped a plane to Canada and then made his way from Canada through the US, South America to Rio. Chen said he does it all to enhance the Olympic spirit. “My biggest hope is to encourage the vulnerable, the weak, and those who are afraid of challenges.”

In Rio, he’s apparently becoming an Olympic celebrity— a sportsman that compete out of the fields, with himself and gets stopped wherever he goes to take pictures. Even though he couldn’t watch the games at the scene, he’s completely happy by helping to pick trash and clean the surrounding areas of the stadiums. That’s what the Olympics is about. “It is to challenge the boundaries, to compete in a friendly manner, and to win the honor of the higher calling.” He said.

See you in Japan in 2020, Mr. Chen!

1.Mr. Chen calls himself “Olympic madman” because ________.

A. he has a bad temper whenever Olympic Games come

B. he rides to Olympic Games as a crazy Olympics chaser

C. he becomes super busy with his business in Olympic season

D. he gets splendid results every time he competes in Olympic Games

2.Which city didn’t Mr. Chen ride to for Olympic Games?

A. Beijing B. Rio

C. London D. Tokyo

3.Why did Mr. Chen ride to Rio?

A. He wanted to win the honor of Olympics at the scene.

B. He planned to challenge and compete in a friendly manner.

C. He hoped to promote the Olympic spirit and encourage others.

D. He intended to pick trash and clean the surrounding areas of the stadiums.

4.Which word can be used to describe Mr. Chen best?

A. Enthusiastic B. Intelligent

C. Sensitive D. Competitive.

The first ancient Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BC. Coroebus won the only event at the Olympics. This made him the first Olympic champion in history. Then the Olympic Games developed and continued to be held every four years. In 393 AD, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, put a stop to the Games.

In 1892, a young Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin suggested starting the Olympic Games again but failed. Two years later, Coubertin organized a meeting with 79 people representing nine countries. At this meeting he got what he wanted. All the delegates at the meeting voted for the Olympic Games. They also decided to have Coubertin found an international committee (委员会) to organize the Games. This committee became the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Demetrious Vikelas from Greece was chosen to be its first president. Athens was chosen for the revival (复兴) of the Olympic Games and the planning began.

The first modern Olympic Games opened in the first week of April, 1896. Since the Greek government didn’t have enough money to build a stadium, a wealthy Greek man, Georgios Averoff, donated over $100,000 to repair the Panathenaic Stadium built in 330 BC.Since the Games were not well publicized (宣传) internationally, athletes were not nationally chosen but rather came by themselves. Some athletes were tourists who happened to be in the area during the Games.
