37、ttention to bike enterprises. C “When I grow up, I want to be a runner.” These words are spoken by thousands 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 puzz

38、led sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying 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 an

39、d discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running 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. Be

40、cause the air is thinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, the body produces 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.

41、 The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared 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 than Danish people

42、. As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that 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 “sp

43、eed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farahs experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasnt meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he accidentally observed the Kenyans strict training routi

44、nes and dedication to their sport, Farah said it was like a switch had been 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 seven world and Olympic titles in th

45、e 5000m and regularly beats Kenyas top runners! Farahs story proves what Kenyans 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

46、 interested the sport scientists? A. Kenyan sport history. B. Kanlenjins running ability.C. Kanlenjins training methods. D. Kenyans enthusiasm for sport. 44. According to Danish scientists, what leads to Kanlenjins success? A. Physical condition. B. Living style. C. Hard training. D. Strong will.45. How did Kenyan runners think about Danish research r
