　　A．What does the Olympic Motto mean?

　　B．Research on individual styles improves performance.

　　C．Research holds the key to success.

　　D．Personalized programs will help.

　　E．New equipment has made a difference.

　　F．Is there a limit to record­breaking?

　　1．

　　A world record is every athlete's dream，but the hard­won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times.Roger Bannister's famous four­minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds，while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since 1953.‘Faster，higher，stronger’，is the Olympic motto，and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve.But one wonders if this can continue.

　　2．

　　The last forty years have seen many important technological advances.For example，since the introduction of strong flexible，fiberglass poles，over a meter has been added to the pole vault record.There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoes.And while shoes won't actually make someone run faster，modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable，injury­free training.

　　3．

　　Pushing back the limits now depends more on science，technology and medicine than anything else.Athletic technique，training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive（躲避的）world record.It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.
