閱讀理解

　　The theme of the London Olympics opening ceremony will be “Isles of Wonder”，organisers revealed on Friday．The title came from an amazing speech about the beauty of the island in Shakespeare's play．

　　Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle，the ceremony's artistic director，said the theme was inspired by a passage from William Shakespeare's comedy The Tempest．

　　Boyle，whose Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars，said he was trying to keep the details of the July 27 ceremony under wraps，but he gave away the first details of the event, set to be watched by one billion TV viewers．

　　Fellow film director Stephen Daldry，the creative director for the London Olympics opening ceremony, told reporters the opening show would project a journey which will celebrate who we are, who we were and who we wish to be．

　　However, Boyle admitted that London would not rival(與……匹敵)the breathtaking opening ceremony staged at the Beijing Olympics four years ago，due to the tougher economic times．

　　It was announced in December that the budget for the opening and closing ceremonies had been doubled to 81 million pounds．
