Here are some of the fastest animals in the animal world. As you read about them, remember that top speed of human runners is 20 to 25 miles an hour. And the fastest human runners can only run at this speed for a few hundred yards(碼)。


 
Heavy people do not run very fast. But some heavy animals can run at amazing speed. Black rhinos can run at a speed of almost 30 miles an hour, Even though they may weigh over 3,500 pounds.
 

 
Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals( 哺乳動(dòng)物) over short distances(距離).They can run at a speed of over 70 miles an hour. But they get tired quickly and usually stop after a few hundred yards.
 

 
Pronghorn antelopes are the fastest land mammals over long distances. They can run at a speed of 35 miles an hour for many miles. Their top speed is probably more than 50 miles an hour.
 

 
Hummingbirds are the smallest birds. But they move their wings(翅膀) faster than other birds. Some of them beat their wings 4,500 times a minute
 

 
Ostriches can’t fly, but they can run faster than other birds and most other animals as well. They can run at a top speed of 43 miles an hour for a short distance, But can keep up a speed of more than 30 miles an hour over long distances. They are also the largest of all birds, and they lay the largest eggs.

Walking is a popular form of exercise. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercise.
Regular, brisk walks help a person's body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and lungs. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart disease. The lungs work better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help in weight control, too. A quick fifteen-minute walk burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the time. Walking causes very injuries, so there is also a lower "dropout" rate among walkers than among runners.
People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success. Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude towards life. Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too. Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons or training. To become a real walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther, and more often.
People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields, and malls are excellent places for walking. People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn't need a team or a partner for walking. There is no "season" for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.
Walking doesn't cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking shoes and comfortable clothes are the only equipment that a walker needs.
