    Facts have proven that China’s development not only benefits the 1.3 billion Chinese people, but also contributes to economic growth in Asia and the world as a whole. About 20 percent of last year’s global growth was owed to China’s contribution. China’s development also spurs progress of human civilizations, enriches diversity of the world and promotes peace and stability in regions and around the world. By successfully feeding, clothing and sheltering one fifth of the world’s population, China has made an important contribution to the stability and development in the world.
Passage Two:
    "New Beijing, Great Olympics" reflects our desire to host a great Olympic Games in a city with both ancient culture and modern charm. The three themes of our bid are: Green Olympics, Hi-tech Olympics and the People’s Olympics. Our goal is to spread the Olympic ideal among our people, especially the nation’s 400 million young people. We will work with the International Olympic Committee, National Olympic Committees, International Federations, sponsors and friends from the media to establish an open and effective working relationship. Confucius, an ancient Chinese sage, said, "Isn’t it a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!" We are looking forward to receiving all guests from every corner of the world with open arms in Beijing in 2008.
