英语谈中国女足Chinese Women FootballChinese Women Football 中国女足作者： Vicky 识非未知As a Chinese teenager, I am fond of Chinese women's football games. Not only do I like to watch their wonderful world games, I am also very proud of their latest achievements and championships.In the early eighties, women's football games were played more as a novelty in China. Over the years, Chinese women's football matches have been hits, gaining tremendous popularity in our nation and throughout the world.There are terms that we should know about women's football. For example, the AFC and FIFA. The AFC Women's Championship is a bi-annual competition in women's football for national teams which belong to the Asian Football Confederation. The competition is also known as the Asian Women's Football Championship. So far, more than a dozen of AFC tournaments have been held, with the current champions being China. ^_^Excitingly, the FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 will be held in China from September 10th to September 30th, 2007.

Nevertheless, I am a superb Chinese fan of Chinese women's football！~~ The End ^_^2.Li Jie and Xie Caixia scored in the second half Thursday to lead China to a 2-0 win over New Zealand, setting up a quarterfinal matchup against Norway on Sunday at the Women's World Cup.

Among their other activities, Special Olympics conducts the Special Olympics World Games every four years.Over two million athletes of all ages are involved in Special Olympics sports programs in more than 150 countries [4]. The organization offers year-round training and competition in 26 Olympic-type summer and winter sports. There is no charge to participate in Special Olympics. Events are geared to accommodate a variety of levels of ability so that athletes can compete with others who have similar capabilities.The Special Olympics Oath is "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."2Mission and Vision Mission The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities*, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. Vision Special Olympics is an unprecedented global movement which, through quality sports training and competition, improves the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and, in turn, the lives of everyone they touch. Special Olympics empowers people with intellectual disabilities to realize their full potential and develop their skills through year-round sports training and competition. As a result, Special Olympics athletes become fulfilled and productive members of their families and the communities in which they live. Special Olympics is an experience that is energizing, healthy, skillful, welcoming and joyful. Philosophy Special Olympics is founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities* can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. Special Olympics believes that consistent training is essential to the development of sports skills, and that competition among those of equal abilities is the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress and providing incentives for personal growth. Special Olympics believes that through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally, socially and spiritually; families are strengthened; and the community at large, both through participation and observation, is united in understanding people with intellectual disabilities in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance. Principles To provide the most enjoyable, beneficial and challenging activities for athletes with intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics operates worldwide in accordance with the following principles and beliefs: That the goal of Special Olympics is to help bring all persons with intellectual disabilities into the larger society under conditions whereby they are accepted, respected and given a chance to become productive citizens. That, as a means of achieving this goal, Special Olympics encourages its more capable athletes to move from Special Olympics training and competition into school and community programs where they can compete in regular sports activities. The decision to leave or to continue involvement in Special Olympics is the athlete's choice. That all Special Olympics activities - at the local, state/provincial, national and international levels - reflect the values, standards, traditions, ceremonies and events embodied in the modern Olympic movement. These Olympic-type activities have been broadened and enriched to celebrate the moral and spiritual qualities of persons with intellectual disabilities so as to enhance their dignity and self-esteem. That participation in Special Olympics training programs and competitive events is open to all people with intellectual disabilities who are at least 8 years old, regardless of the degree of their disability. That comprehensive, year-round sports training is available to every Special Olympics athlete, conducted by well-qualified coaches in accordance with the standardized Sports Rules formulated and adopted by Special Olympics, and that every athlete who participates in a Special Olympics sport will be trained in that sport. That every Special Olympics Program includes sports events and activities that are appropriate to the age and ability level of each athlete, from motor activities to the most advanced competition. That Special Olympics provides full participation for every athlete regardless of economic circumstance and conducts training and competition under the most favorable conditions possible, including facilities, administration, training, coaching, officiating and events. That at every Awards Ceremony, in addition to the traditional medals for first, second and third places, athletes finishing from fourth to last place are presented a suitable place ribbon with appropriate ceremony. That, to the greatest extent possible, Special Olympics activities will be run by and involve local volunteers, from school and college-age individuals to senior citizens, in order to create greater opportunities for public understanding of intellectual disabilities. That, although Special Olympics is primarily a program of sports training and competition, efforts are made to offer athletes a full range of artistic, social and cultural experiences through activities such as dances, art exhibits, concerts, visits to historic sites, clinics, theatrical performances and similar activities. That the "Spirit of Special Olympics" - skill, courage, sharing and joy - incorporates universal values which transcend all boundaries of geography, nationality, political philosophy, gender, age, race or religion.参考资料：
