L9(2)：Flying cats

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.

练习感悟:1.啊啊啊啊啊，不知不觉第50天了，最近在想着如何把后面的课程提前，但同时有条不紊的前进。所有你看得见的轻松和从容，都是别人未雨绸缪。

2.你所有看不见的行动，后面都会成为看得见的结果。

3.尝试挑战自己的极限，读完小短文之后花了3h把前面的文再过了一遍。在喜马拉雅APP做记录，回过头来看看新2的朗读，虽说不是很标准，但音质提升了不少连带着嗓音也清脆了呢！继续加油鸭鸭！！
