The Olympics began in Greece more than 2 700 years ago. The first recorded Olympic competition was held in 776 B. C. It was held in an outdoor stadium and about forty thousand people watched the event. The first thirteen Olympics consisted of only one race running. The games had been held regularly for about 1 200 years. Then, in the year 397 the Olympics were prohibited by the Roman Emporor.
奧運會起源於2 700多年前的希臘。第一次有記載的奧運會競賽舉辦於公元前776年。比賽是在露天體育場進行的，大約有4萬人觀看了比賽。前天十三屆的奧運會只有一個項目：賽跑念陵判。奧運會一直定期舉辦了約1 200年，然後，公元397年，被羅馬皇帝禁止舉辦。
It was not until 1896 that the first Olympics of modern times were held in Athens. From then on the games are held every four years rugularly. The Olympics have become the world's most important athletic events and a symbol of sporting friendship of all the people of the world.
直到1896年，第一屆現代奧運會在雅典舉行。從那時起，奧運會定期每四年舉行一次。奧運會已成為世界上最重要的運動賽事，也是全世界人民在運動中體現友誼的象徵。
關於奧運精神的英語美文篇二
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Bidding for the Olympic Games, in a way, an image-creating undertaking. The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unipue image. What image does Beijing
intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics?
It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red.
First, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is China's Mother River and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people. Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history. So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.
Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country. We adore red. On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red. It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing . Beijing , together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization. Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red : the red torch,red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people.
Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics. Adding a green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can't deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be. Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing. Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city. According to a project entitled" The Green Olympic Action Plan", between 1998 and 2007, Beijing, we have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment. Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road. By then, the city's green area will make up 40% of its total. The city will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling instrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.
Certainly, all of this is no easy task. But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these green goals. For now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens. Each
citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes. As the saying goes, United, we stand, and a
green Beijing will be achieved.
When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will be a unique Olympics." New Beijing, Great Olympics"; will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green.
Let us welcome it and look forward to it! Thank you!

下午好，女士們，先生們：
申辦奧運會，在某種程度上，一個形象，創造事業。首要的一點是為了讓人們墜入愛河與城市驟眼看來，吸引他們在其unipue形象。什麼形象，是否北京
打算建立自己一旦有機會，以申辦2008年奧運會呢?
這是大家都知道說，北京市委，政府已訂定的主題為未來的游戲：新北京，新奧運。對我來說， 2008年奧運會將成為一個偉大的綠色奧運照明兩個更特殊的顏色，黃色和紅色。
第一，黃河是一個有意義的顏色。黃河是中國的母親河和炎黃子孫。這顏色有特別的原產地和偉大意義，為中國人民的。北京是首都，新中國以前的資本為9朝代在中國歷史上。因此，黃河自然會添加光彩2008年奧運會。
其次， 2008年奧運會將是一個紅色是另一個傳統的珍視的顏色，為整個國家。我們崇拜紅色。對大的場合，我們喜歡裝飾自己的家園為紅色。它是彩色的紅雙喜，代表喜慶的時刻，祥和，積極性和繁榮。紅色是其中一個最合適的顏色來形容未來的北京。北京，再加上整個國家，正變得越來越繁榮，在實現現代化的進程。應2008年奧運會將在北京舉行，整個城市將是一個海的紅色：紅色的火炬，紅旗，紅色的花朵，和輻射面臨著以百萬計的歡樂的人們。
上述所有， 2008年奧運會將是一個綠色奧運。加入一個綠色的成分是至關重要的在創造一種有吸引力的形象，正如我們不能否認的事實，即北京，目前是不是綠色的城市，正如我們一樣，它是。爭取一個有吸引力的城市環境已成為一個中心任務，為全體公民的北京。大已經作出努力，在污染控制，補植和美化城市。根據一個項目，題為「綠色奧運行動計劃」 ， 1998年和2007年，北京，我們已投資一千億元人民幣，在保存和保護環境。一些12500000樹木和超過100萬英畝的草將 種植 ，沿四環路。屆時，城市的綠地面積將彌補的40 % ，其總。市政府也將其疏通水庫用來作為水供應北京的居民，控制工業污染和走出去的200工廠，目前位於城市適當的。
當然，這一切是不容易的任務。但我相信我們所有人有信心，我們將實現這些綠色的目標。現在我們有充分的支持和參與的環保意識的公民。每個
公民是表現出極大的關注，每一個步驟，城市政府。正如俗語所說，美國，我們的立場，和一個綠色北京將得到實現。
當我們的願望成為現實，這將是一個獨特的奧運「新北京，新奧運」 ;將織這三個高超的顏色：黃色，紅色和綠色。
讓我們對此表示歡迎，並期待著它!謝謝您!

Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley』s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.

Parkrun is succeeding where London』s Olympic 「legacy」 is failing.
Parkrun在倫敦奧運「遺產」失敗的地方取得了成功。
Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. 十年前的星期一，有消息宣布，第30屆奧林匹克運動會將在倫敦舉行。
Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. 規劃文件承諾，奧運會的偉大遺產將是讓整個國家的體育愛好者遠離沙發。
The population would be fitter, healthier and proce more winners. It has not happened. The number of alts doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run—up to 2012— but the general population was growing faster. 人們會更健康，更健康，產生更多的贏家。 但這並沒有發生。 每周進行體育鍛煉的成年人數量確實增加了，在2012年之前增加了近200萬，但總體人口增長速度更快。 --------說明實際運動的人比例減少
❤Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 更糟糕的是，這一數字現在正在加速下降。
The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. 反對派聲稱每周至少運動兩個小時的小學生幾乎減少了一半。
Obesity has risen among alts and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to 「inspire a generation.」 The success of Parkrun offers answers.

[B] promote sport participation 促進體育運動的參與
[C] improve the city』s image 促進改善城市形象 無中生有
[D] increase sport hours in schools 增加學校的體育活動時間
【答案】[B] promote sport participation
Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to proce more elite athletes. The al aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.
Parkun不是一場比賽，而是一場計時賽:你唯一的競爭對手是時鍾。 這種精神歡迎任何人。 一個躊躇滿志的新手在終點線被鼓掌的喜悅之情，與頂級天才閃耀的喜悅之情一樣多。 相比之下，奧運會競標者希望讓更多的人從事體育運動，培養更多的精英運動員。 雙重目標混淆了:成功和參與的壓力讓新人望而卻步。
23. Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it .
[A] aims at discovering talents 旨在發現人才
[B] focuses on mass competition 關注大眾競爭
[C] does not emphasize elitism 不強調精英主義
[D] does not attract first-timers 不能吸引初來乍到的人
【答案】[C] does not emphasize elitism
Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally 「grassroots」, concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods—making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in ecation. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.
事實上，國家參與到社區體育協會這樣一個基本的「草根」概念的規劃中，有些荒謬。如果政府要發揮作用的話，它應該真正參與到提供公共物品的工作中來——確保有操場的空間，有資金來鋪設網球場和網球場，並鼓勵在學校提供所有這些活動。但歷屆政府都負責出售綠地，從地方政府那裡榨取資金，並減少對體育教育的關注。未來的政府需要做得更多，為體育繁榮提供條件，而不是冗長而有價值的戰略。或者至少不會讓他們變得更糟。
24. With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments should
對於群眾體育，作者認為政府應該。 .
[A] organize 「grassroots」 sports events 組織「草根」體育活動
[B] supervise local sports associations監督本地體育協會
[C] increase funds for sports clubs 增加體育俱樂部的資金
[D] invest in public sports facilities 投資公共體育設施
【答案】[D] invest in public sports facilities
25. The author』s attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is .
[A] tolerant

閱讀一 尋找琥珀
普魯士國王腓特烈·威廉一世從未想過他送個普魯士人民偉大的禮物會有一點如此驚奇的歷史。這個禮物是因為由幾噸琥珀製成而命名的琥珀屋。這些被挑選的琥珀都有著像蜂蜜一樣漂亮的黃棕色。這間屋的設計是當時最流行的奇特的風格。這同樣是一件花了當時最好的藝術家大約十年用黃金和珠寶修飾製成的寶物。
事實上，這間屋不是制來當禮物的。這是為腓特烈一世的領土而設計的。然而，普魯士下一任國王同樣是琥珀屋的擁有者，腓特烈威廉一世決定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送給了彼得大帝。作為報答，沙皇給了腓特烈一隊他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成為了沙皇避寒聖地聖彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作為一個大概四米長的只為重要訪客的小接待處。 後來，葉卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在聖彼得堡之外的一個她避暑的地方。她讓她的藝術家加了跟多的細節在裡面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的樣子。接近600隻蠟燭在屋內燃燒著，把鏡子和圖畫都照得像金子一樣。令人傷心的，雖然被譽為是世界奇跡之一的琥珀屋現在丟失了。
在1941年9月，納粹軍隊在聖彼得堡附近。這正是兩個國家在交戰的時候。在納粹去到避暑地方之前，俄國人民能夠從琥珀屋裡搬走一些傢具和小的藝術品。然而，一些納粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少兩天內100000多片琥珀被放進27個木箱里。這些箱子無疑會被放進一艘去往當時德軍駐扎的菠蘿的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之後，琥珀屋發生了神馬仍然是個迷。 最近，俄國和德國人民在避暑的地方製造了一座新的琥珀屋。通過研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他們製造了一座新的琥珀屋像舊的那座一樣。在2003年它被聖彼得堡的人民用來慶祝這座城市的300歲生日。

一個事實還是一個觀點
神馬是事實？是一些人們相信的東西嗎？不！事實是可以被證明的任何事。例如，可以證明中國人口比世界上任何其他國家的人口都要多。這是一個事實。
那麼神馬是一個觀點？一個觀點是人們相信那是真的但還沒有被證明的。所以一個觀點在一個審判中不是一個好的證據。例如，如果你說「貓是比狗好的寵物」這會是一個觀點。這可能是真的，不過很難去證明。一些人可能不同意這個觀點不過他們也不能去證明他們是對的。 在一場審批中，一個審判官一定要去決定相信哪個目擊者哪個目擊者不應該相信。這個審判官不會去考慮每個目擊者的長相或人們在哪裡居住或工作。他/她只關心目擊者是否會提供真是的信息，信息一定是事實而不是觀點。這類的信息被稱為證據。

大約2000年前的一個希臘作者帕薩尼亞斯(P)，在2007年3月18日踏上了一段魔幻的旅程去查明關於現代的奧林匹克運動會。他正在采訪一個2008年奧林匹克運動會志願者李岩(L)。 P:我是帕薩尼亞斯。我住在你們所說的「古希臘」而且在很久之前我常常寫以一些關於奧林匹克運動會的事情。我來到你的時代是為了解關於現代奧林匹克運動會因為我知道2004年奧林匹克運動會會在我家鄉舉辦。我可以問你一些關於現代奧林匹克運動會的問題么？ L:真是極為愉快的事!你真的來自那麼久遠的時代么？不過當然你可以問你想問的問題。你想知道神馬？
P:你們多久會舉辦一次運動會？
L:四年一次。有兩種主要的運動會形式--冬季和夏季奧運會，並且在一個有規律的基礎上他們都是四年舉辦一次的。冬季奧運會一般會在夏季奧運會前兩年舉辦。只有達到該項目既定的標準的運動員才會被容許成為競爭者。他們可以來自世界各地。 P:冬季奧運會？田徑運動員如何在冬季享受比賽？還有馬術又怎樣？
L:哦不!冬季奧運會沒有賽跑和騎馬的項目。反而會有一些像滑雪和溜冰這些需要雪和冰的項目。這就是為神馬他成為冬季奧運會。只有在夏季奧運會會有你說賽跑，同時還有游泳，帆船運動和所有團隊運動。
P:我懂了。之前你說那些運動員都被邀請來自世界各地。你了解希臘世界么？我們希臘城過去互相競賽只為勝利的榮譽。沒有其他的地區可以參加，奴隸和婦女也不可以。 L:現在只要他們的運動員夠好的話任何國家都可以參加。有超過250種項目並且每一種都有它自己的標准。婦女不僅允許參加比賽，並且她們在體操比賽，競技比賽，團隊比賽和其他各種比賽中都扮演著重要的角色。
P:麻煩稍等一下！所有的這些項目，所有的國民甚至婦女都可以參加！那麼這些運動員們居住在哪裡？
L:在每一場奧運會前，一座特別的村莊會被建來給他們居住，還有一座主要的接待建築，幾個用來比賽的體育場和一座體育館等
P:那聽起來很貴。有哪個國家會想要舉辦奧運會么？
L:事實上，每個國家都想要這個機會。這是一個很大的責任同樣是一個很大的榮譽如果被挑選到。在國家之間有很多競爭去為舉辦奧運會就像去贏得奧林匹克獎牌一樣。2008年的奧運會將會在北京舉行。這你知道么？ P:哦是的！你一定非常自豪。
L:當然。之後的2012年奧運會將在倫敦舉行。他們早就開始為這個做准備了。一座讓運動員居住的村莊和所有的運動場將會被建在東倫敦。當然新的獎牌會被設計......
P:你是說獎牌么？所以甚至是橄欖花圈也已經被取代了！哦親愛的！你們比賽也為了獎金么？
L:不我們不。現在仍然想要跑得更快跳的更高扔得更遠。正如你知道的奧運會的格言-「更快更高更強」。
P:好吧，那是個好消息。多麼有趣啊！耽擱你的時間，謝謝了。

亞特蘭大的故事
亞特蘭大是一個希臘公主。她很漂亮並且可以跑得比希臘的任何一個男人都快。不過她不被允許在奧運會上跑步去為她自己贏得榮譽。她很生氣因此她跟她父親說她不會嫁任何跑不過她的男人。她父親說她必須要嫁，所以亞特蘭大與她父親定下一個條件。她對她父親說，「這是我的原則。如果有男人說想要嫁我，我會跟她賽跑。如果他跑不贏我，他會被殺。沒有人能被例外。」
很多國王和王子想要娶亞特蘭大，不過當他們聽到這個規定的時候他們就知道自己沒希望了。所以他們當中的很多人都傷心地回家了，不過其他的人都留著去賽跑。一個叫做希波墨涅斯的男人聽到亞特蘭大的消息後感到非常驚奇，他想「為神馬這些男的都這么愚蠢呢？」「為神馬他們會因為跑不過這個公主而讓自己被殺呢？」然而，當他看到亞特蘭大從她的房子出來跑步的時候，希波墨涅斯改變了他的心意。他說，「我會娶亞特蘭大或者死！」
賽跑開始的時候雖然男人們都跑得很快，但是亞特蘭大總是會更快。希波墨涅斯邊看邊想，「我要怎樣才能贏過亞特蘭大呢？」他去向希臘的愛神求助。愛神答應幫他並給了他三個金蘋果。她說，「在亞特蘭大跑過你的時候扔一個在亞特蘭大面前。當亞特蘭大停下來去撿蘋果的時候，你就可以跑過她並贏得比賽。」希波墨涅斯拿著蘋果並跑去找國王。他說，「我想娶亞特蘭大。」國王傷心地看著又一個男人要死，不過希波墨涅斯說，「我會娶她或者死！」然後賽跑開始了。

隨著時間的推移我被改變了很多。在1642年的法國，我是作為一個計算機器而開始的。雖然我很年輕我可以簡化一些計算題。在我被Charles Babbage改造成分析機器之前我很慢的發展了接近兩百年。之後我被一個操作員用帶洞的卡調製成了可以合邏輯地思考並且比任何人都快地得出一些問題的答案。那是一個被成為技術改革的時候並且開始了我的人造智能。在1936年我真正的父親Alan Turing寫了一本關於我如何像普遍的機器一樣去解決任何困難的數學問題的書。從那起，我在體積和智能方面快速的發展。在1940年我變得像一個房間一樣大，並且我想知道我是否還能變得更大。然而，事實也在困擾著我的設計者。隨著時間的推移，我被制的更小。首先是個人電腦再到後來的手提電腦，在1970年我已經開始被用在辦公室和家裡。
這些變化只因為我記憶力的增強。開始記憶被存放於電子管里，然後是晶體管和後來更小的晶片。因此我改變了我的整個外型。隨著我慢慢變老我也慢慢的變小。隨著時間推移我的記憶力發展的那麼快，像頭大象，我不會忘記任何我曾被告知的東西！而且我的記憶力變得如此的大以至於我都不敢相信!不過我總是自己那麼孤單的站在那裡，直到1960年他們通過網路給了我一個家庭關系。我能夠通過萬維網和其他的電腦分享我的知識。從1970年起很多新的應用為我而被發明。我在交流，金融和貿易方面變得重要。我同樣被放進遙控裝置中被用來製造行動電話也幫助醫學手術。我已經被放進太空火箭並被送去探測月亮和火星。即使如此，我的目的是為人們提供高質量的生活。我現在充滿快樂應為我成為了人類種族中的一個忠心的朋友和幫助者。

機器人-Andy
我是一個機器人球隊的一份子。我們被允許在一齊踢足球大約一年了。我像一個人類一樣高大。事實上，我長得也像人類。在球隊里我是前鋒因此我要跑得非常快。我的電腦晶元幫助我移動並且像人類一樣思考。例如，我已經學會了當我要開動去射一個好球的時候用電腦語言向我的隊友發信號讓他們把球傳給我。
我的第一場足球比賽是在幾年前在日本的名古屋。去年我們球隊去了美國華盛頓和西雅圖。我們勝利的第二個地方。就我個人觀點，我認為我們球隊第一次贏的地方是作弊的。他們已經在比賽之前一種新的程序類型。所以我們也要促進我們的程序去提高我們的智能。我們決心要去一種甚至更好的標志。一定程度上說我們的程序就像我們的教練。她訓練我們所有在人類比賽中她能看到的所有可能的動作。如果一種新情況出現她會准備可靠的動作去運用。用這種方式我可以用我的「人造只能」去製造新的動作。我能夠被編程成像人類一樣的表現我就可以真的與一隊人類球隊去比賽。畢竟，在我不會忘掉任何東西的電子腦袋的幫助下，我的所有就是用我的智能！

飛毯飛得如此的快以至於他們下一分鍾就在Zimbabwe。Daisy轉來轉去然後發現她被一頭大象盯著。「你過來跟我照相了么？」它問。Daisy鬆了口氣突然笑起來。「不要笑，」大象說，「我們曾經是瀕臨滅絕的品種。農民好不仁慈地獵殺我們。他們說我們破壞了他們的天地，和來自那些只游覽大工廠的遊客的錢。所以政府決定去幫助。他們允許遊客給錢農民然後可以去獵殺確定數量的動物。現在農民很高興而且我們的數量在增加。所以好事情正被做於營救當地的野生動物。」 Daisy微笑了。「那是個好消息。它展示了野生動物保護的重要性，不過我喜歡去幫助像WWF這樣的建議。」飛毯再次升起然後幾乎同一時間他們在一個陰霾的熱帶雨林。一支猴子看著他們就像它摩擦它自己。「你在干神馬？」Daisy問。「我在保護自己不受蚊子的傷害，」它回答。「當我找到一隻千足蟲昆蟲，我會在我身上摩擦它。它包涵了一種強大的可以影響蚊子的葯物。你應該更加註意那些我居住的熱帶雨林並好好鑒賞動物們如何居住在一齊。沒有雨林，沒有動物，沒有葯物。」 Daisy很驚訝。「飛毯，請帶我回家這樣我可以聯系WWF並開始保護這種新的葯物。猴子，請過來幫忙。」那猴子同意了。飛毯飛回家了。當他們降落時，事物開始消失了。兩分鍾後所有東西都消失了-那隻猴子也是。所以Daisy不能去製造她的新葯物。不過如此的一段經歷！她已經學習了那麼多！還有那裡的WWF......

並非樂隊的樂隊
你曾經想過要成為一個樂隊里有名的歌手或音樂家嗎？你是否曾夢想過在音樂會上面對成千上萬的觀眾演唱，觀眾欣賞你的歌唱為你鼓掌嗎？你唱卡拉OK時是否假裝自己就是像宋祖英或劉歡一樣著名的歌星嗎？說實在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。那麼，人們又是怎樣一起組成樂隊的呢？
許多音樂家聚在一起組成樂隊，是因為他們喜歡自己作曲，演奏自己的音樂。他們開始可能是一組中學生，在某個人家裡排練音樂是成名的第一步。有時他們可能在街上或地鐵里為過路人演奏，這樣他們可以為自己或自己要買的樂器多掙一些錢。後來，他們可能在酒吧或者俱樂部里演出，這樣他們可以得到現金。當然，他們希望在錄音棚里錄音，然後賣掉上百萬張碟，從而成為百萬富翁。
然而，也有一個用不同方式組建起來的樂隊。這支樂隊叫「門基樂隊」，它開始時是以電視節目表演的形式出現的。組成樂隊的音樂人演奏音樂，還彼此打趣都笑。這些玩笑和音樂大多都在模仿「甲殼蟲」樂隊。電視製作人原計劃想尋找四位會唱又會表演的樂手。他們在報紙上登了一則廣告，想招搖滾樂手，但他們只招到一個滿意的。樂隊的其他三人只能用演員來代替。
因為這些演員中有些人唱得不是很好，他們不得不依靠隊里的其他人幫助。所以在演出的時候他們只是假唱。不管怎樣，他們的表演非常幽默以至於其他的樂隊也開始模仿。他們非常走紅使得歌迷們為了更加熟悉他們而成立了俱樂部。門基樂隊每個星期都要在電視上演唱由別的音樂家創作的歌曲。然而，經過大約一年以後，門基樂隊逐漸對自己的工作認真起來，他們開始像一支真正的樂隊那樣演唱自己創作的歌曲。然後他們錄制自己的唱片，並且開始巡迴表演他們自己的音樂。在美國，他們甚至比「甲殼蟲」樂隊還要受歡迎，出售的錄音專輯還要多。「門基樂隊」大約在1970年左右解散，但是令人高興的是，到80年代中期他們再次聚首。在1996年，他們推出了一張新的專輯，像真正的樂隊一樣以此來慶祝他們以往的時光。

詹姆斯.克里夫蘭.歐文斯是一個農民的兒子、黑人奴隸的孫子。他9歲的時候，他的家遷居到了克利夫蘭 。在那裡，一個學校老師問這個男孩叫什麼名字。
" J.C， "他回答說。
她原以為他說的是 "傑西" ，因此他有了一個新的名字。
歐文斯參加的第一場比賽是在13歲。高中畢業後，他又到美國俄亥俄州州立大學。他不得不做兼職工作來支持他上學。作為一個二年級的學生，在1935年的「十強」運動會上， 他創造了比他一年後在奧運會上還要快的紀錄。
在那個「十強賽」的一星期前，歐文斯不小心從樓梯上掉下來。他的背後的傷使他一個星期不能進行鍛煉，為了參賽他甚至不得不需要有人幫助他上下汽車。他沒有聽取很多人讓他放棄比賽的建議，並表示他將盡全力一項一項地參賽。他做到了，他創造了一項又一項的紀錄。
第二年的柏林奧林匹克運動會是歐文斯的舞台。他的成功不僅被認為是競技的勝利，也是政治上的勝利。希特勒沒有向任何一位非裔美國獲獎運動員表示祝賀。
"這對我無所謂 ，" 事後幾年，他這樣說， "我去柏林並不是為了和他握手" 。
從柏林返回，他也沒有收到自己國家總統的電話。其實上，直到他去世的在四年前，也就是1976年，才得到美國給予的榮譽。
歐文斯在奧運會的勝利並沒有給他帶來任何變化。他靠看護運動場為生，並與汽車、卡車、摩托車和狗賽跑掙錢。
"是的，這讓我煩惱，"他後來說。 "，但至少我過著誠實的生活。我要吃飯" 。
終於，他的金牌後來改變了他的人生。 "是這些金牌讓我活了下來， "他曾經這樣說過。 "時間在我面前停滯不前。奪取金牌的時刻永遠閃亮" 。
