13、tail is either upright or relaxed and the cat is making a continuous low sound，it means it is happy and satisfied.Besides the body language，you also need to consider a cats feelings if you want to become a cat whisperer.For example，if you are petting(抚摸) your cat and you see her tail moving from sid
14、e to side，it means that she is happy and loves to be petted.But if suddenly you get a bite，it means that she wants you to stop petting at once.A cat kneading (摩擦) on your leg means that she loves and appreciatesyou.

27、high school basketball players.An innercity kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius Collegestill recovering from its failureback to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers.His status of a savior(救世主) brought more pressure than any 18yearold should have to hand
28、le.However, I watched him matured into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career.The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he

31、this earth.”For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro.He married his college sweetheart.They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs.He figured out early what others learn too late：Athletics is part of a journey，not the destination.Congratulations，Ray.You mad
