35 Text 3 Task 1. Read the text, divide it into parts. Track-and-Field Events Track and field is the largest Olympic sport and has 46 events and about 2,000 athletes participate. It is divided into four areas: running, jumping, throwing, and combined events. The Olympic motto, "citius, altius, fortius," means "faster, higher, stronger," and these events are about running faster, jumping higher, and throwing farther than any of the other participating athletes. Jumping is a competition to see who can jump the highest and the fastest. In some events, athletes use poles to help them jump through the air. In other events, jumpers step and hop. There are four jumping events in all. High Jump High jumpers try to jump over a bar that is held up in the air by two stands. They cannot knock down the bar when they jump. The athletes land on a big mat that keeps them from getting hurt. In each round, the bar is lifted a little higher, making it harder and harder to jump over. Athletes are eliminated as the bar gets higher. In the end, the athlete that can jump the highest wins. Most jumpers use a jumping method called the Fosbury Flop. This Flop helps them fly through the air on their backside. Pole Vault The pole vault is similar to the high jump except that jumpers use a pole to help them jump and fly through the air. The athletes dig the poles in the ground and take flight. In each round, the bar is lifted a little higher, making it harder and harder to jump over. In the end, the athlete that can jump the highest wins. Long Jump and Triple Jump In the long jump and triple jump, athletes run and then jump as far as possible landing in a pit of sand. There is a board on the ground showing them where they need to begin their jump. The athlete that goes the farthest wins. The triple jump is similar except that the athletes hop and step before jumping. Task 2. Read the text once again. Define the key words/sentences in each part. What is the main idea of each part? 6.
