L9(1):Flying cats
Cats never fail to fascinate human beings.
They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well.
They never become submissive like dogs and horses.
As a result,humans have learned to respect feline independence.
Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives.
One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have 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.

练习感悟:
- 朗读感受:今天听原音的时候发现自己能注意到很多发音细节,自己的读音和原音不同的细节如feline的/aɪ/音读得更饱满,纠正了之后读音听上去更流利更好听了。二十多天之前虽然也能两三遍过,但注意不到这些细节总觉得读起来还有蛮多差异但。现在渐渐觉得与原音贴近了,看来功夫还在积累。
- 能否改进:暂无。
- 打鸡血:加油~
