二段首句的大意为：历史上，大多数体能测试通常包括肌肉力量测试和耐力测试，这并不是要看谁更健康，主要是因为这些体能指标与体育成绩有关。

根据这句话我们可以推断，对人们进行体能测试是出于体育的目的，其目的在于考查他们能在运动中取得多好的成绩。因此A选项“howwelltheycoulddoinathletics”(人们在运动中能取得怎样的成绩)，是正确选项。

A)Itinvolvednothingmorethanmereguessing.

B)Theythoughtitwasgoingtobealotoffun.

C)Itwasmorestraightforwardthanotherexperiments.

最后两句的大意为：谁会拒绝一个四年级的小孩?Emily说：“因为我是个孩子，所以他们没把我当回事。”

根据这两句话我们可以推断TT从业人员之所以参见Emily的试验，是因为他们认为Emily只是一个小孩子，参加她的试验应当没有任何危险。因此，19题D选项“Theysensednoharminalittlegirl'sexperiment.”(他们感到一个小女孩的实验没什么危险)是正确选项。
