Read the informational text on the Olympic games. Then answer the question that follows. What do Athens, Atlanta, and Tokyo in common? They are all locations that have hosted the Olympic Games, the world's
largest athletic competition. Every two years, cities around the world vie to bring athletes and entertainment to their corner of
the world
Originally, the host cities for the winter and summer games were selected based on what the city already offered for the
athletes. For example, the Winter Olympics were traditionally held in cities made popular by their ski slopes and winter
weather climate features Temperate climates in areas such as Rio de Janeiro made for warm weather to compete outside
during the Summer Olympics
Today, the host cities are selected through a much different process. First, the city must prove that it is big enough to host the
volume of athletes and spectators. Next, the city must convince its taxpayers that the income from the Olympics will offset the
expenses necessary to build any additional structures for competition locations and lodging. Finally, the city must prove its
worth as a positive presence on the world's stage.
Hosting the Olympics comes with a large price tag. If the games are so expensive, why do cities want to host the Olympics?
Cities are able to show pride in their country, employ people to improve infrastructure and profit from the tourism dollars
