【正文】 ce. Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives. One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. Apparently, there is a good deal of truth in this idea. A cat’s ability to survive falls is based on fact. Recently the New York Animal Medical Center made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months. All these cats had one experience in mon: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries. Of course, New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of tall buildings. There are plenty of highrise windowsills to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. ‘Cats behave like welltrained paratroopers.’ a doctor said. It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. In a long drop, they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more. At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like flying squirrels. This increases their airresistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground. 【課文翻譯】 貓總能引起人們的極大興趣。結(jié)果是人們已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)尊重貓的獨(dú)立性。貓?jiān)诘鋾r(shí)能夠大難不死是有事實(shí)作為依據(jù)的。有一只叫薩伯瑞的貓從32層樓上掉下來，但只摔斷一顆牙。在高速下落中，貓有時(shí)間放松
