lesson25 Do the English speak English?英国人讲的是英语吗?

I arrived in London at last.The railway station was big,black and dark.I did not know the way to my hotel,so I asked a porter.I not only spoke English very carefully,but very clearly as well.The porter,however,could not understand me; I repeated my question several times and at last he understood.He answered me,but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.'I am a foreigner,' I said.Then he spoke slowly,but I could not understand him.My teacher never spoke English like that!The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.Then he said something and I understood it.'You'll soon learn English!' he said.I wonder.In England,each man speaks a different language.The English understand each other,but I don't understand them !Do they speak English

Take a look at the records of international running events in the last fifty years.Before 1980,the winners of distance races were usually from North America and Europe.There were some winners from other counties ,but there were't very many of them.There were no Africa names among the winners then,but things are very different now.

Today the stars of the race track are Kalenjin.The Kalenjin are an Africa people from the borders of North West Kenya and Ethiopia.Their homeland is a hot ,dry plateau,about 2,500 metres above sea level.THese people are natural athletes .They have long,thin legs.Their heart rate is usually slow.There are long three million of them.

Twelve of the world's top twenty marathon runners are now Kalenjin.Every year ,they win40 percent of the top honours in all international distance races .And it's not just the men.

A few years ago,there were't any distance races for women.These days,there are lots of them .Kalenjin women win all their events as well.
