Question I: Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below. (4points)

The Asian Games, also called the Asiad, is a multisport event held every four years among the athletes

from all over Asia. The Games are regulated by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) under the supervision of the

International Olympic Committee (IOC). Medals are awarded in each event, with gold for first place, silver for

second and bronze for third, a tradition which started from 1951. The Asian Games are dominated by the People’s

Republic of China.

Competitors are entered by a national Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent their country of citizenship.

National anthems and flags accompany the medal ceremonies, and tables showing the number of medals won by

each country are widely used. In general, only recognized nations are represented, but a few non-sovereign

countries are allowed to take part. The special case of Taiwan was handled by having it compete as Chinese

Taipei, due to the political status of Taiwan.
