Baron Pierre de Coubertin was a Frenchman. At his time sports were not taught in French schools. De Coubertin believed that sports should go hand in hand with studies. He had an idea. His idea was to begin the Olympics all over again.
Sports teachers of other countries liked De Coubertin ideas. So in 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. Since then the Olympics have been held once every four years, except three times, when there were wars.
The modern Olympic games have many foot races and field sports programs. The longest race in the games is called marathon.
Before the start of the Olympic Games, runners carry lighted torch(火炬) through many nations towards the stadium where the games will be held. These sportsmen are from different countries. Yet they work together to carry the Olympic torch. It is passed from runner to runner, When the last runner enters the stadium, he or she places the torch in a special basin filled with oil. It catches fire. It is then, only then, that the Olympic Games can begin.
The Olympic flame burns throughout the games. It is the flame of peace.

(答案→)C 解析：本文叙述了现代奥运会的创办以及比赛项目。在1896年之前法国学校不教授体育。因此法国人顾拜旦为了把体育传递下去，决定传办现代奥运会。现代奥运会每个四年举行一次，第一次是在1896年，比赛项目有赛跑比赛和田径比赛。奥运会前要把奥运火炬传遍许多国家，并且奥运会期间一直燃烧着。【小题1】细节理解题。根据第一段的At his time sports were not taught in French schools.可知在1896年之前法国学校不教授体育。故选C。【小题2】细节理解题。根据第二段的 Sports teachers of other countries liked De Coubertin ideas.
