The 2008 Beijing Olympics began officially on Friday 8th August 2008 at 8 pm in front of a crowd of 90,000 eager spectators in the Bird's Nest stadium.

Things got off to a bang with a starting firework display which lit up Beijing's skyline, followed by a total of 2,008 energetic drummers beating a countdown(倒计时). Then the crowd was treated to an amazing sequence(系列) pretty and carefully designed scenes which took them through 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture.

After these performances, it was time for the athletes themselves to take center stage. In keeping with tradition, Olympic founders Greece led the 204 competing nations into the stadium.

China's 639 athletes entered last behind towering flag bearer Yao Ming, to a thunderous reception from the crowd.

Finally, the main torch was lit by a jet of fire  from Chinese Olympic hero Li Ning, who had been pulled up to the roof of the stadium on wires.

China, of course, was not alone in watching the opening ceremony. British newspaper The Guardian said the show "outdid all of its former hosts in numbers, colour, noise and expense."

The Financial Times was equally impressed. "No country ever has--or surely will--match the Chinese in effort, human power, organization, creativity and , it has to be said, money they were willing to put into what once a little show."

No pressure on the next host city then! With just four years to go, the London Olympic organizers have promised to deliver an equally inspirational ceremony. Let's hope they can pull it off.

M是一个有着近30年教龄的民办教师,他原在本村X小学工作。学校离他家不足300米远。根据县教委安排,他到离家4里远的T小学工作。近日,有关部门考虑到他年龄较大,家庭负担重的实际,让他回本村X小学工作,却被他婉言谢绝。M在与县教委领导谈话时说,回本村教学对我有诸多方便,但我不愿意回去。T小学近年来办学效益和社会声望不错,学校领导不仅能在工作中尊重、支持教师,而且能在生活上关心体贴教师,在这里工作心情舒畅。M讲了两件事及其感受。一是T小学工作环境好。这个小学19名教师中,女教师有16名,校长Z也是女同志,并且曾经当过民办教师。她工作认真,以身作则,关心同志。在她的带领下,全体教师心往一处想,劲往一处使,人人争上进,个个干事创业,没有一个调皮捣蛋的。我在本村工作时,从没有过这样的环境,最使人反感的是经常挨批评,没受过表扬。为此,我心里很不平衡,窝气。来到T小学后,我还是我,工作一如既往。Z校长严格要求,批评心服口服,鼓励信心百倍。二是校长关心体贴人。今年8月份,我孩子准备结婚,手头紧张,Z校长为我协调了贷款,使困难得到解决,我很受感动,决心要努力工作,否则对不起校领导。于是,教委答应了M的要求,让M继续在T小学工作。

M为什么舍近求远?
