【正文】 ave 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。但是，它們又有自己神秘的生活方式。結(jié)果是人們已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)尊重貓的獨(dú)立性。最使我們感興趣的一件事情就是一種通俗的信念——貓有九條命。貓?jiān)诘鋾r(shí)能夠大難不死是有事實(shí)作為依據(jù)的。所有這些貓有一個(gè)共同的經(jīng)歷：它們都曾從高層建筑上摔下來過，但只有其中的8只貓死于震蕩或跌傷。有一只叫薩伯瑞的貓從32層樓上掉下來，但只摔斷一顆牙?？雌饋?，貓跌落的距離越長(zhǎng)，它們就越不會(huì)傷害自己。在高速下落中，貓有時(shí)間放松自己。這樣就加大了空氣阻力，并減少了它們著地時(shí)沖擊力帶來的
