The race to select the Beijing 2008 Olympic mascot is heating up and from all accounts the panda is out in front. According to news reports, the Sichuan panda team is pulling out all the stops to get the giant panda chosen—not surprisingly, as most of the pandas in China can be found in Sichuan. (41)______.
So what does an Olympic mascot represent to the world? The Sichuan team says that the giant panda represents the peace and harmony of the Olympic spirit, but is that what a panda really portrays? What, after all, does a giant panda do all day? It pulls down bamboo shoots and eats, and when it's not eating, it sleeps. That's it! That is all a panda does. (42)______.
Fortunately there are other candidates for the honor of representing the Beijing Olympics, including the Chinese tiger. Now there's a contrast with the panda! The tiger is sleek; the tiger is swift. When the tiger springs into action, one can see its muscles ripple with energy; When a tiger is hunting for food, first it stalks its prey, perhaps a herd of wild swine. Then it chooses a victim and cleverly plans its strategy for the chase. Carefully choosing its moment, the tiger takes off with power and speed, as much as 80 km per hour. (43)______. The tiger is sleek, strong, swift and uses clever strategy to achieve its goal. Is it not the ideal animal to represent the athletes who have planned and carried out Icing-term strategies to qualify for the Olympics?
(44)______. However, the tiger, like most predatory animals, is not truly vicious—this is a common misperception. Under normal circumstances it kills only for food. When hungry it goes after its prey with fierce determination. it not take fierce determination for an athlete to win a medal in the Olympics?
Some years ago, Shell carried out a very successful ad campaign in Canada and the US. The ads showed a tiger getting into the gas tank of an auto; the accompanying slogan was "Put a tiger in your tank!" (45)______. Nowadays China is amazing everyone with the power and speed of its economic development, far outstripping the other nations of the world. In the latest Olympics, the Chinese athletes surprised the world not only with the number of medals they won but also with the categories in which they won them. I would therefore argue that Beijing's 2008 Olympic mascot should be an animal that embodies the great qualities, power and speed, of the Chinese athletes and their homeland—the Chinese tiger.
A. One might say that the giant panda is fat and lazy! What if there is no bamboo? Does it find other food? No. When the panda's food disappears, the panda disappears. In fact, the giant panda is a very vulnerable animal and that is why today it is at risk of extinction. Do Chinese really want a fat, lazy animal for their Olympic mascot?
B. Everyone understood the message: the tiger meant extra power and speed for your car. The original Olympics in Greece brought together athletes in a fierce trial of power and speed.
C. Recently it was brought to my attention that the 1988 Seoul Olympics had a tiger mascot. Does this make the tiger ineligible for use in the 2008 Beijing Olympics? In an informal poll of my friends and colleagues, I discovered that no one remembered the mascot of the 1988 games. In fact, they did not remember the mascot of the Sydney Olympics or even of this year's Athens Olympics.
D. They have created 29 possible panda designs for consideration by the Beijing Olympic organizing committee, which will be making the choice.
E. To be sure, the giant panda seems loveable whereas the tiger might be thought by some t
W: Thank you, Pat.
M: Now Chris, you've been working for the Canadian Export Development Agency for three years now. What does your job involve?
W: Well, my particular brief is Asian section—especially Japan and China. Now we work with Canadian firms explaining how they can start up or develop their export trade in these countries. One of my main responsibilities is to set up trade fairs so that our companies can exhibit their goods in these other countries.
M: Right. Sounds like a very demanding job. How do you cope with the pressure?
W: At first I didn't. It was very difficult because there were so many new things to learn and I found especially that negotiating was the hardest. It was something that didn't come to me naturally, but you get used to it.
M: What's the secret?
W: Well, you have to be organized, especially well organized, but it does help of course that we're part of a team and when the going gets tough we give each other a lot of support and help each other out. That's important. I've just recently come back from Beijing where we sponsored an electronics fair there. We had a total of 55 stands and we had over 200,000 visitor.
M: Wow, it's amazing!
W: Yeah. It was very successful but it did represent twelve months of really intensive preparation and, as you can guess, a lot of difficult negotiations.
M: Twelve months?! I mean is that normal Chris?
W: Well it does vary a lot. Beijing was a particular large trade fair and it did take that kind of time. But some of our smaller fairs, Canton for example, we had a small computering exhibition there in 1999. That took five months of planning. That's ,not a hard and fast rule, but basically about six months, depending on the kind of product being, exhibited, the network of contacts we already have in the host country, the location, things like that.
M: Well I see that, Now tell me Chris, you've just got back from Beijing. Where to next?
W: My next trip is to Tokyo in a couple of weeks. We're setting up a fair there to promote Canadian fashions and design. Fashion and design's new market for me and also for the agency. It's going to be a big challenge for us, but I'm really excited about it.
