Features: Vocabulary is the foundation of language use, and reading is the basic way to improve vocabulary and solve language communication problems. Since reading is so important, how should we approach it? We advocate interest-based and relaxed reading methods. Interest is the motivation for persistent learning, and relaxation is the desired outcome. For this reason, we have compiled this series, "The World Learns English." "Exploring interesting topics, pursuing major global events, promoting relaxed reading, and mastering a large vocabulary" is the purpose of this series. This series combines knowledge, fun, current affairs, and practicality, divided into four sub-series: "Wealth of the World," "Wisdom of the World," "Champions of the World," and "Legends of the World." Each sub-series selects articles from English-language publications and the internet, using authentic and standard English. The content covers history and culture from around the world, including politics, economics, art, science, sports, and more. It allows you to enrich your knowledge and enhance your reading skills effortlessly. During the compilation process, we have provided annotations for relevant knowledge to facilitate easy reading. "Champions of the World" introduces major international sports events, as well as the historical development of the Olympic Games in various countries, which are topics we are also concerned about. The Olympic Games have produced dazzling world sports stars who have left a deep impression on audiences. The life stories of some champions have also been included in this book, such as the Finnish sprinter Paavo Nurmi, Abebe Bikila, who won the marathon at the Rome Olympics barefoot, and Jesse Owens, who used sports to resist Hitler's racial discrimination, among others. Of course, the book also covers other sports categories, such as NBA and tennis, and champions in these categories also have exciting stories waiting for you to read slowly.
