All these cats had one experience in common: 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 high-rise windowsills to fall from!
One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet only suffered from a broken tooth.
'Cats behave like well-trained 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 air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground.

第三冊總有種沒有上道的感覺,像第二冊的朗讀現(xiàn)在看來有些應(yīng)付,還沒有找到學(xué)習(xí)第三冊的方法,繼續(xù)摸索嘗試。詞匯訓(xùn)練營有些荒廢了,其實(shí)老師指出了很多細(xì)節(jié)的知識點(diǎn),爭取利用春節(jié)假期這幾天好好學(xué)習(xí)一下。
