38、r.” These words are spoken bythousands of Kenyan children. 50 percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenyas population.This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort try
39、ing to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast? Although the question seems simple, nding the answer has proven to be difficult and controversial. A team of Danish sports scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when ru
40、nning long distances. Kalenjins live in high-elevation（高海拔） villages in the Rift Valley in western Kenya. People living at high elevations produce more red blood cells, which aid in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Because the air is thinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, t
41、he bodyproduces more red blood cells. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low altitudes. The Danish 6scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and com
42、pared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have longer “birdlike” legs. The Kalenjins also have lower body mass indexes (a measure of body fat based on weight and height) and shorter bodies thanDanish people. As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made theconclusion th
43、at the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene（基因）.”However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They credited their success to hard work and endless hours of training. Although the controversy over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farahs experience offers an
44、interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasnt meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runnerswere training in England then. After he accidentally observed the Kenyans strict training routines and dedication to their sport, Farah said it was like a switch had been
45、 turned on in his head. He began eating healthy foods, going to bed early, and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farahs running career exploded. He has won sevenworld and Olympic titles in the 5000m and regularly beats Kenyas top runners! Farahs story proves what Ken
46、yans have known all along. Regardless of genetics, their success would not be possible without hard work, dedication, sacrice, and mental toughness. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast, and never give up.43. What interested the sport scientists? A. Kenyansport history. B. Kanlenjins runni

Hard training.D. Strong will.45. How did Kenyan runners think about Danish research result? A. Convincing. B. Unacc
