| [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. |
