Question

【题目】How long can a person live?How tall can a human being grow?The Guinness（吉尼斯）World Records book lists many of the greatest records【1】the greatest potentials（潜能）.But it's a fossil record.It speaks only to what has been done,not how much can【2】(do),which is why it has to be constantly updated（更新）.

How fast does a human have the ability【8】(run)the mile today?We honestly don't know.That is why we hold our 【9】(breathe )during every Olympics.
