They make up less than two per cent of Kenya's population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast? A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high­elevation (高海拔) villages in western Kenya. People living there produce more red blood cells, which support the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high­altitude athletes to outperform those who train at a low elevation. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have lower body mass indexes—a measure of body fat based on weight and height, and longer “birdlike” legs than Danish people. As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They owed their success to hard work and endless hours of training. Although the controversy(争议) over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah's experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn't meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he observed the Kenyans' strict training routines and dedication to their sports, Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah's running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5，000m and regularly beats Kenya's top runners. Farah's story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Their “secret” is simple: Train hard, run fast and never give up. (　　) 4. What interested the sports scientists? A. The Kenyan sports history. B. The Kalenjins' running ability. C. The Kalenjins' training methods. D. The Kenyans' enthusiasm for sports. (　　) 5. According to Danish scientists, what leads to Kalenjins' success? A. Physical condition. B. Living style. C. Hard training. D. Strong will. (　　) 6. What do we know about the Danish research result? A. Danish people believe that it is the truth. B. Mo Farah finds the result astonishing. C. Kenyan runners think it is unacceptable. D. The world has attached great importance to it. (　　) 7. Why is Mo Farah's story mentioned in the text? A. To show running methods count. B. To encourage British athletes. C. To prove effort pays off. D. To support the gene theory. Ⅲ. 语法填空。 Coming of age is a term used to describe the transition between childhood and adulthood.
