VII. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
In 776 B.C. the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greeks’ chief god, Zeus. The Greeks
emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin
throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount
Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their head and having poems sung about their deeds.
Originally these were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place.
The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four-year cycles called “Olympiads” dating
from 776 B.C.
