The Washington POST 外刊阅读材料

——————————————————————————————

◎Paris 2024: Electric Boogaloo①? When the Olympics get underway in the French capital five-plus years from now, break dancing may be part of the program. ◎

Organizers of the Summer Games in Paris put forward a proposal Thursday to add four events, with break dancing accompanied by skateboarding, climbing and surfing. The latter three events

will be in the 2020 games , and all four will need final approval from the International Olympic Committee. ◎Also known as breaking, break dancing has grown from

its roots in the American hip-hop culture of the 1970s to

a “dance sport,” somewhat related to ballroom dancing②,which is popular in France. Break dancing got its Olympic start at the 2018 Youth Games in Buenos Aires③, where Japan’s Ramu “Ram” Kawai and Russia’s Sergei “Bumblebee” Chernyshev won gold in the girls and boys events, respectively. ◎“There’s simply no doubt that breaking is very athletic ,” French break dancer Mounir Biba said

at Thursday’s announcement

“I dare Cristiano Ronaldo to do just one of my movements (to fire back at critics who question whether breaking is a sport.”

“We are pleased to see that Paris 2024′s proposal for new sports to the Olympic programme is very much in line with the reforms of Olympic Agenda 2020, which is trying their best to make the Olympic programme gender-balanced, more youth-focused and more urban,” the IOC said in a statement. ◎

The head of the Paris organizing committee, Tony Estanguet, said

that his group wanted to “connect the Games to the modern culture.” He added that the four new sports would provide a “more artistic” dimension to the Olympics.

◎“It is an honour and privilege that, for the first time, a dance discipline is being considered for inclusion in the Olympic Games,” the president of the World DanceSport Federation, Shawn Tay, said in a statement. “It is a humbling experience for all members and supporters of DanceSport.”

◎

“Our sport has grown very rapidly over the last years, and we still haven’t had the chance to prove our value as an Olympic sport since we will be in Tokyo 2020 games ,” World Karate Federation president Antonio Espinos said

in a statement. “Over the last months, we have worked

hard, together with the French Federation, to achieve our goal of being included in Paris 2024. We believed that we had met all the requirements and that we had the perfect conditions to be added to

Richard “Crazy Legs” Colon, a founding member of New York’s legendary Rock Steady Crew. He told The Guardian that the dance sport “represents many people who come from struggle and have nothing, and now that has translated into an opportunity to see the world, to compete and, most importantly, to build bridges between cultures and break down stereotypes.”

外刊阅读教学设计“Break dancing among new events proposed for 2024 Olympics”

主题语境：人与社会-----霹雳舞提名2024巴黎奥运会

语篇类型：新闻报道

授课时长：45分钟

文本分析：

本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了break dancing作为四大新增项目之一，或将进入2024年巴黎奥运会。选自美国严肃报纸The Washington Post，作者Des Bieler 1995进入华盛顿邮报，现从事足球等体育专栏写作。该文首先采用“倒金字塔”结构，开篇用设问式导语（stopper/hook）引起受众的关注和兴趣，接着用次导语补充说明skateboarding, climbing and surfing会在2020东京奥运会首次亮相，或将和break dancing共进2024年巴黎奥运盛宴。文章主要大量使用直接引语（从Mounir Biba的观点到Richard Colon的观点），为报道增添真实感，显示报道的客观性。重点词汇主要关于奥运项目，权威人士的专有名词等，如：Karate，accompanied ，respectively，Antonio Espinos，Tony Estanguet，词汇gender-balanced, youth-focused, urban体现了奥运会改革的方向。最后，作者突转间接引语，将Richard Colon的声音与自己的声音相融合，在这种融合中Richard Colon的声音被作者的声音所吞没。学生通过本文的学习，
