The Olympic mascots are the Olympic torch (火焰), the fish, the panda, the Tibetan gazelle (藏羚羊) and
the swallow (燕子). The panda is named "Jingjing". He was chosen because he makes children smile and

stronger"." Says the athlete, whose name is "Yingying".

| Country music is very old. It came from the United States, Canada, Ireland and Great Britain. It is a mixture (混合物) of music from all of these places. In the west of America, cowboys had to take care of the cattle (牛). They had to watch them all day and all night because the cattle were nervous and sometimes ran away. A cowboy"s life was lonely and dangerous. When he was alone in the desert with the cattle, he drank strong coffee to make himself clear-headed.
