Go for the GoldEvery four years, all around the
world, people enjoy watching theSummer Olympic Games. This year’sgames take place July 27–Aug. 12 inLondon, England.
The first modern Olympic Gamesin 1896 featured nine sports: athletics(track and field), cycling, fencing,gymnastics, shooting, swimming,tennis, weightlifting and wrestling. Allnine will be part of this summer’sevent. From 1900 to 1992, the gamesoften included “demonstration sports.”These were usually sports specific tothe host country, such as Americanfootball in the United States or a
wrestling competition called glima inSweden. Eventually, the number ofregular events became so high thatthe tradition of includingdemonstration sports was suspended.
Becoming the host city for theOlympic Games involves a longprocess and carries benefits andchallenges. After a site is chosen, thecity has seven years to prepare for theevent. Hosting the games can behealthy for a city’s economy and bringthe area prestige. Preparing for thegames usually involves improving acity’s infrastructure and constructingvenues that can be enjoyed byresidents after the games are over.
The United States has hosted fourSummer Olympic Games, more thanany other country. Rio de Janeiro,Brazil, will host the 2016 SummerOlympics, marking the first time thegames will be held in South America.
One Giant Leap for MankindOn July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong
became the first human being to walkon the moon. That Apollo 11 mission,and others over an eight-year period,produced lunar samples and images;topographic, seismic and gravity data;and information about the lunarenvironment.
The six Apollo missions collected840 pounds of lunar rock samples.More than 30 years after the lastmoon landing, scientists still studythese samples.
Throughout history, the moon hasbeen worshipped as a deity andblamed for causing madness. In manycultures’ myths, the moon goddessand sun god chase each other acrossthe sky. The words “lunatic” and“loony” come from the Latin word formoon: “luna.”
According to www.Astronomy.org:
• The moon’s gravitational pullproduces ocean tides on Earth,but because of its smaller sizeand mass, gravity on the moon isabout 1/6 of that on Earth.
• If the Earth were hollow, about50 moons would fit inside.
• Although we can often see themoon clearly, it is 240,250 milesaway. If you traveled in anairplane at 500 m.p.h. nonstop, itwould take about 20 days toreach the moon.
• The moon has no atmospherebecause it does not have enoughgravity to support one.
Answer the Call of the WildIf you’re looking for a fun way to
spend a summer day, take a trip to thezoo! A little preparation can make abig difference. Follow these tips tomake your outing more enjoyable:
Make a plan. Check out the zoo’swebsite for information about animalfeedings, special shows or zookeepertalks. Print out a map of the zoo andmark everything you want to see.Number each area in the order youplan to proceed.
Timing is key. Animals are mostactive and the crowds are usuallysmaller first thing in the morning.Animals from cold climates may beeven more slow-moving and quietduring hot weather, so if you arepressed for time, choose the giraffesover the grizzly bears.
Soggy, but smart. Check theweather forecast and dressappropriately. If the forecast calls forrain, don’t cancel your trip. Put on araincoat and go enjoy the coolertemperatures and smaller crowds.
Dress for success. Wearcomfortable clothing, especiallyshoes. Many zoos are spread out, andyou may have to walk a bit betweenexhibits.
Focus. In addition to your camera,take binoculars to enable a closer lookat the animals.
Visit the zoo in the morning,when animals are
more active
