L: Yes. When I came here in 2006. the air was not so fresh.
K: That's because of Beijing's Olympic Games which were centered on "Green Olympics".

K: The local government also closed many private enterprises to reduce pollution.
L: It seems the government made great efforts to host a green Game.
K: Definitely. Actually the IOC has put forward the issue of environ-mental protection for a long time.

2.称呼Laura 位于句中，要用升调。
3.引导复合句的连词when位于句首要重读。
4.IOC，全称International Olympic Committee，国际奥林匹克委员会。
5.issue 中的/u:/与of 的/ə/连读，中间加辅助音/w/，读作/'ɪʃu: wəv/。
