PART II: READING (2.5 POINTS) 
Read the following article about “Going to Olympic” carefully, and then do the given tasks.
It is not easy to be an Olympian. If you want to be one in eight or twelve years’ time, you must decide now to give those years to your sport. If you can do this, then perhaps one day you will join the world’s best athletes in the Olympian stadium for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The athletes who are there have worked hard for this moment. They have worked so hard that often their bodies hurt. Sometimes they felt so tired that they wanted to stop the endless work. But they always made themselves go on, and they told themselves that one day they would be the best.
For the opening ceremony, the competitors begin by entering the main stadium and then walk round, country by country, the Greek team first, the home country last. There is singing and dancing from the people of the Olympic city. The leader of the home country talks to the people in the stadium and, through television, to millions of people around the world, and then the President of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) talks as well. The Olympic flags goes up. Now a runner enters the Olympic stadium carrying a lighted torch. The flame he or she carries was lighted by the sun on Mount Olympus, and has been carried by different runners from there to the Olympic city. The runner runs up the steps to light the flame, which will burn during the two weeks of the Games.
