     London is planning to host the 2012 Olympic Games. They will need to plan carefully. Local (當(dāng)?shù)氐?
people are worried that plans were made carelessly and too quickly because the organizers wanted to win
the bid. So, while some Londoners are excited about what will happen, others are more worried. The
government is sure that the country will host a magnificent (宏偉的) Olympics. Here are just a few things
some ordinary people said in the week following the bid.
     —Paul Smith: It is really good news for the businesses in the area. London gets a lot of tourists anyway,
but this will bring more. Local people are thinking of things to do that will make the area more fun over the
Olympics and make money as well.
     —David Ford: London is busy anyway. I'm not sure that the government will get the transport right. The
underground and the buses are too full now. The underground is so full at rush hour that it is dangerous. It
will be ten times worse in 2012. I 'm going to rent out (出租) my flat and go on holiday when the Games
are happening!   
    —Pearl Armstrong: It's great! I We sport— it's exciting! I like to watch it and I like to play it. We will see
all these great athletes (運(yùn)動(dòng)員) at the Games. It will be good afterwards, because the stadiums and swimming
pools and so on will all still be there, so they will let us use them.
