[00:01.080] | --- lesson 9 Flying cats |
[00:05.600] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
[00:11.240] | --- How do cats try to protect themselves when falling from great heights? |
[00:18.520] | Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. |
[00:22.400] | They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well. |
[00:30.240] | They never become submissive like dogs and horses. |
[00:34.600] | As a result, humans have learned to respect feline independence. |
[00:40.000] | Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives. |
[00:45.160] | One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. |
[00:52.960] | Apparently, there is a good deal of truth in this idea. |
[00:56.800] | A cat's ability to survive falls is based on fact. |
[01:01.760] | Recently the New York Animal Medical Center made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months. |
[01:11.400] | All these cats had one experience in common: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries. |
[01:21.600] | Of course, New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of tall buildings. |
[01:30.320] | There are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from! |
[01:34.360] | One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. |
[01:42.960] | 'Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers.' a doctor said.^“ |
[01:47.640] | It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. |
[01:53.960] | In a long drop, they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more. |
[01:59.560] | At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. |
[02:04.120] | They stretch out their legs like flying squirrels. |
[02:07.680] | This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground. |

[00:05.600] | ^听录音,然后回答以下问题。 |
[00:11.240] | |
[00:18.520] | ^猫总能引起人们的极大兴趣。 |
[00:22.400] | ^它们可以对人友好,充满柔情。但是,它们又有自己神秘的生活方式。 |
[00:30.240] | ^它们从不像狗和马一样变得那么顺从。 |
[00:34.600] | ^结果是人们已经学会尊重猫的独立性。 |
[00:40.000] | ^在它们的一生中,大多数猫都对人存有戒心。 |
[00:45.160] | ^最使我们感兴趣的一件事情就是一种通俗的信念--猫有九条命。 |
[00:52.960] | ^显然,这种说法里面包含着许多真实性。 |
[00:56.800] | ^猫在跌落时能够大难不死是有事实作为依据的。 |
[01:01.760] | ^最近,纽约动物医疗中心对132只猫进行了为期5个月的综合研究。 |
[01:11.400] | ^所有这些猫都有一个共同的经历:它们都曾从高层建筑上摔下来过,但只有其中的8只猫死于震荡或跌伤。 |
[01:21.600] | ^当然,纽约是进行这种有趣的试验的一个理想的地方,因为那里根本不缺乏高楼大厦, |
[01:30.320] | ^有的是高层的窗槛从上往下坠落。 |
[01:34.360] | ^有一只叫萨伯瑞娜的猫从32层楼上掉下来,但只摔断了一颗牙。 |
[01:42.960] | 猫就像训练有素的跳伞队员,” 一位医生说。 |
[01:47.640] | ^看起来,猫跌落的距离越长,它们就越不会伤害自己。 |
[01:53.960] | ^在一个长长的跌落过程中,它们可以达到每小时60英里甚至更快的速度。 |
[01:59.560] | ^在高速下落中,猫有时间放松自己。 |
[02:04.120] | ^它们伸展四肢,就像飞行中的松鼠一样。 |
[02:07.680] | ^这样就加大了空气阻力,并减小了它们着地时冲击力带来的震动。 |
