①IF you can draw the 2008 Olympic mascots (吉祥物) yourself, you'll become the coolest kid in your classmates' eyes. All five have become top fashion.
Since China made its final decision at 8 pm November 11, the five mascots - Beibei, the fish; Jingjing, the panda; Huanhuan, the Olympic flame(火焰) ; Yingying, the Tibetan antelope (藏羚羊) and Nini, the swallow (燕子) - have been on school bags, hats and T-shirts. If you put their names together, they say "Beijing welcomes you!" in Chinese.
People rushed into many big shopping centres to buy them. Some shelves were empty after only one day of business.
Why do the mascots look like kids?
"Children are the future of the world. No one can say 'no' to kids' smiles. So we have five child-like mascots," said Wu Guanying, a key member of the design group. Wu came up with the idea of five dolls.
②When artists finished the first designs in April, they showed their work to kids to see if they liked them.
