A cats ability to survive falls is based on fact.Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months. All these cats had one experience in common: they had fallen off high build
12、ings, 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（窗台） to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys（层）, yet only suffered from a b
13、roken tooth. Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers (跳伞运动员), 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
14、legs like flying squirrels. This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact (冲击力) when they hit the ground.21. We find cats endlessly interesting because_.A. we feel there is a good deal we do not know about their livesB. we believe that cats have nine livesC. they are different
15、from dogs and horsesD. they can reach a speed of 60 miles an hour while falling22.

17、 in catsBA new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their childrens safety on the roads. Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for childr
18、en living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be
19、attending their nearest school. The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake (agree) to provide free transport to the sch
20、ool. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the schools headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a g
21、overnment official has said the cost to parents should be less than 20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington.

One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes,” explained one Hong Kong educator on an Internet website.So many examples exist that several
29、Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat-curiously named Posh Sailboat-which means “Please dont place it in dusty places.”If the battle against Chingl
30、ish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.28.
