Read this extract: There are feasible alternatives to the bloat, extravagance and wasteful spending that comes with a modern Olympic Games. One option is to designate a permanent host city that would be re-designed or built from scratch especially for the task. Another is to extend the duration of the Olympics so that it becomes a festival of several months … Neither the “Olympic City” nor the extended length options really get to the heart of the issue, however. Stripping away ritual and decorum in favour of concentrating on athletic rivalry would be preferable. Failing that, the Olympics could simply be scrapped altogether. International competition could still be maintained through world championships in each discipline. Most of these events are already held on non-Olympic years anyway – the International Association of Athletics Federations, for example, has run a biennial World Athletics Championship since 1983 after members decided that using the Olympics for their championship was no longer sufficient. Which TWO of the following does the author propose as alternatives to the current Olympics? Select all the answers you think are correct.
A、The Olympics should be cancelled in favour of individual competitions for each sport.
B、The Olympics should focus on ceremony rather than competition.
C、The Olympics should be held in the same city every time.
D、The Olympics should be held over a month rather than seventeen days.
