    A fair competition. Swifter, higher, and stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics. But fairness is the basis of this motto. Only when you win fairly will you and your homeland deserve the great glory.

    But nowadays, unlike the ancient honest slave competitors, some hopeless athletes who can't bear the pain of training cheat when taking part in games. Metals seem to have magical power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has replaced the motto as their only goal.

    So, in the gymnastics event to be held in our city next month, one of the hosts' responsibilities is to keep competitions fair. They advertised on posters outside the stadium to promise that every competitor is to have a regular physical examination in a gymnasium one after another.

    No one can bargain on this. The volunteers in charge will be very strict. It is foolish to cheat because they will not be admitted to compete and will even be fined as well.

    The above content is organized by Qicaiwang to help you with mastering 3,500 words in Gaokao English listening through 40 immersive short stories. Hope it helps you!
