THE HISTORY OF THE OLYMPICS

INTRODUCTION

The Olympics, an international multi-sporting event, takes place every four years
and includes summer and winter games. The games were originally held in Olympia, Greece
in 776 BC. In 1896, they were revived by a French nobleman, thus beginning the era of the
modern Olympic Games.

ANCIENT OLYMPICS

The Olympic Games was first held to honour gods in Greek mythology.
Back then, only men and boys could take part, as athletes were not allowed to wear a
single strand on their bodies - they had to compete without clothes.
Upon winning an event, the winner was presented with a crown of olive leaves. The
olive branch is a sign of hope and peace.

MODERN OLYMPICS

Today's Olympic Games unites the world. The modern Olympic Games allowed
women to compete along with men for the first time.
Medals are given to athletes who are placed first, second, or third in each event. The
winners receive gold medals. The runners-up receive silver medals and the third-placed
athletes, bronze medals.

OLYMPIC SYMBOLS

The Olympic rings is the best known logo. It represents the unity of five continents
and appears in five colours on the Olympic Hag. The official Olympic motto is "citius,
altius, fortius," a Latin phrase meaning "swifter, higher, stronger."
One custom that has not changed since ancient times to modern days is the lighting
of the Olympic flame. It is the sign of the Olympic spirit of competition, unity and
friendship.

[Time suggested : 50 minutes]

Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage

1 When will I be released? I have another three months to serve until I am freed.
I have messed up my life and true enough, my mother’s curse really worked. That must
have been because I have hurt her feelings a lot. My father had left my mother when
she was pregnant with me. She played the role of a single parent very well until I
started mixing with some notorious boys in school. She warned me to keep away from 5
them but I insisted that they were part of my life. I idolized them because they always
had the money to spend and used expensive handsets.

2 My mother worked as an operator in a small industry and earned very little. We

lived from hand to mouth. I was never given any luxury and I always blamed her for it.
I felt that she did not work hard enough to give me the luxury. At that time, I despised 10
her so much that I even told her that I hated the sight of her. Then, she found a second
job as a washerwoman in the neighbourhood.

3 I started stealing money from her savings and once I even pawned her
only wedding ring to get extra pocket money to impress my rich friends. I spent it
at
expensive ‘Nasi Kandar’ restaurants. At school, I became famous among friends and 15
started missing classes to join my friends at shopping complexes. Slowly, I stopped
going to school and when mother found out; she scolded and even begged me to go
back to school. I told her to get lost and packed my bags to leave home. She cried and
promised to provide me with all the luxuries I needed. I went near her and slapped her
on the face. That was when she cursed me that I would regret one day when the whole 20
world would turn its back on me.

4 I left home and found myself a job as a foreman. The boss sacked me when I
started laying hands on his earnings. Then I became a contract worker and stayed
with the other contract workers. The workload was too heavy for me and I started
playing
truant from work. I got myself fired again and had no home to stay. I went back to my 25
so-called friends for money and shelter but they turned me down and some did not even
acknowledge me. They stared at me as if I was a filthy thing. I was hungry and became
desperate. I needed food, money and shelter but I didn’t want to return to my mother
because I was ashamed of myself.
5 I had to do something. I walked up to the wet market in town, hoping to get 30
myself a job there. I saw an Indian lady with things in both hands walking alone
towards her car. An evil idea striked my mind. She had her purse under her armpit. I
walked slowly towards her, snatched her purse and fled on foot. I could hear her
shouting for help and some even chased after me but I managed to escape. I hid myself
at a construction site and I rummaged through the contents of the purse. She had almost 35
RM200.00 and that kept me alive for another twelve days.

6 I became excited because that was easy money and I felt like doing it again.
This time I went to the Mega Mall and tried my luck. I snatched a Chinese lady’s
handbag and tried to flee but this time I was unlucky. Some passers-by and the security
guard managed to get me. I got myself behind bars, sentenced for a year. 40

7 I truly regret now. Once I am out, I want to go back to my mother. I have been
really cruel to her. I need to take care of her. I will go back to school and at the same
time I will work to cope with our expenditure. I will do well in school and further my
education. I want to be an engineer and make my mother proud. I will get her
everything, everything that she needs. I need to get out of this place. Mother, please 45
forgive me.

A Poison Tree
by William Blake
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,

Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and

night, Till it bore an apple
bright; And my foe beheld it
shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole

When the night had veiled the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
