Beach. Samba. CarnivalIt seems that Brazilians are always ready to party. Well, they’ve got a good reason to party now: Rio de Janeiro (or Rio for short), their second largest city, got the 2016 Olympics on October 2th.
This is the first time in the 120-year history of the modern Olympics that they will be held in South America. It seems the five Olympic rings make more sense now that they’ve included another continent. And, just as Beijing got the world’s attention after receiving the 2008 Olympic nod (同意) in 2001, Rio de Janeiro’s win has put the spotlight on Brazil.
Football The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s football team rather than the national flag. But football in Brazil is more than sport, it’s a way of life. The World Cup brings Brazilians together. Interestingly, the general elections in Brazil are usually held in the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm (愛國熱情) created by football and ________ .
Carnival “Live Your Passion (激情)” was the Rio team’s slogan. The carnival is one of the most powerful images of Brazilian enthusiasm. It’s held every year across the country, with street parades and exciting music. The parade in Rio is one of the world’s biggest carnivals. Every February, tens of thousands of people go there for the event.
The economy The Rio bid (申辦) team set up a $14. 4 billion (98 billion yuan) budget for the games—the largest of this year’s bidding cities. What stands behind the big budget is Brazil’s stronger economy. Brazil’s is the largest national economy in Latin America, and has experienced a giant leap in the past few years.

I Am a Pencil
Sam Swope's job was teaching writing to third-graders in New York City. His students were from 21 countries, speaking 11 languages, with different backgrounds.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Aron Ralston, 28, went hiking in a remote Utah canyon without telling anyone. An unexpected catastrophe struck. With enough supplies only for a day, Ralston knew his situation was full of danger. Sure enough, after five days he was in a fight against death. That was when he carried out a courageous plan - using a pocket knife to cut off his trapped arm. His amazing survival story rests at a place among the classics of the genre (體裁).
