There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life
2、-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. There was a
3、sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a
4、narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment, she felt back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death.

22、 improving health and education, promoting world peace and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years, the Olympic famous saying, “Faster, higher, stronger”, has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.Doctors, engineers and coaches all use
23、 everything science can offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: Winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the Olympics of ancient Greece.Development in technology has often been reflected in the meth
24、ods of training and performance used at the Olympics through history. This technology falls into two main groups: improving an athletes performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.One of the creations that have drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsui
25、t from Speedo, which was used by most US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit, the faster the swimmer would travel.“However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics, 28 of the 33 gold medalists were wearing the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory
26、 was out of date,” said Andy Thomas, vice-president of Speedo. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.mThe companys full body suit is supposed to make swimmers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water resistance as it moves, behaving more
27、like a shark skin than a human skin.The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from the 100-metre sprint (短跑) to the pole vault (撑杆跳高), can now train more effectively and nourish (给以营养) their bodies better.Meanwhile, scientific development also means performances can
28、be measured and studied far more accurately. Not only are winning times more accurately recorded, but cheating athletes are also easier to catch out. According to International Olympic Committee (IOC) requirements, two independent measuring systems should be used at all venues (比赛地点). Athens 2004 or
