W:Well, maybe, but I like the little kid who played young “Anakin Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that role.

　　M:I like him too. He’s so cute !You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can’t wait for the next episode. I wonder when they’re going to start making it and when it’s scheduled for release.

　　Conversation Two

　　W:I feel very excited that there are only less than 300 days left for 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

　　M:Yeah, I can’t wait to watch the games.

　　W:So do me. Will you book the tickets ?

　　M:Of course ! I would love to watch the Opening Ceremonies and some ball games. One of my

　　favorites is the Olympic Flame.

　　W:That’s always spectacular, isn’t it ? I think it’s a great tradition to start each Olympic with a new flame and then have the athletes and others pass the torch.

　　M:Did you know that to follow an ancient tradition, the Olympic Committee lights the flame on Mount Olympial using a mirror to focus the sun’s light ?

　　W:I didn’t realize … it would be nice to attend the lighting ceremony. I think it would be more fun, though, to run through the streets with the torch and pass it to someone else.

　　M:Sounds like you’ve caught the spirit of it. Today, passing the flame is meant to pass light and wisdom onto others.

　　W:Yeah. What I find also amazing is that the flame stays lit the whole period of the Olympic Games. Obviously, the Olympic Committee takes extra precaution to make sure the flames won’t die.

　　M:I guess that’s a key part of the tradition.

　　23.What is the man’s favorite ?

　　24.What lights the Olympic Flame ?

　　25.What does the flame stand for ?
