单选题The first ancient Olympics were held in 776 B. C. The games got their name from Olympia, the Greek city where they took place. Like the summer Olympics of today, the ancient Olympics were held every four years. Thousands of people from all over the Greek world came to watch. The main stadium held about 45,000 people. "We have accounts of visitors and pilgrims setting up tents all around the site," Lisa Cerrato of Tufts University said. During the first Olympics, there was only one competition—a 200-meter race. But over time the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports. Women were not allowed to compete, but they had their own separate games. "The ancient athlete became celebrities(名人), just like today. They often lived the rest of their lives being treated to free dinners," Cerrato said. "City-states even tried to steal away each other's athletes by offering them various awards." The ancient Olympics existed until A. D. 393. But the modem Olympics are still going strong.

About one million tourists go to
Barcelona every year, just to visit the Gaudi's Church. This unusual church has
a strange history. Gandi was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at
the same time. He often missed classes because he bad to work, but one day he
designed a very unusual show-case for an exhibition in Paris. People began to
give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very
uhusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, "Will you
build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build
schools and workshops, too. They will help the people." "I will do it," said
Guadi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was ton
big. He needed $10, 000, 000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor
again when he died in 1926, and only the front part of the church was finished.
Now, architects, engineers and tourists from all over the world like to come and
see the church, which is very strange, very modern and very
revolutionary.

China's employment and re-employment
situation remains tough with a surge this year in the number of graduates
hitting the job market and in unemployment in general, a senior official
said. The country's registered average unemployment rate in
urban areas reached 4 percent last year and is expected to go higher this year,
Labour and Social Security Minister Zheng Silin told Xinhua yesterday.
There are nearly 14 million laid-off workers in urban areas so far.
And more than 10 million new graduates are predicted to enter the work
force, Zheng said. To make things worse, the nation's
agricultural adjustment has forced more than 150 million rural workers to quit
farming. Many of them will head to the cities to seek employment, posing
uncertainties for the State, he said. Zheng, who was appointed
as the minister during the first session of the 10th National People's Congress
in March, has urged his departments nationwide to do more to assist laid-off
workers to restart their lives.
