35、wly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn (天生的) understanding of how the physical world works.

69、plied, but you could come in and eat it at the table.”Not expecting both food and warmth, the stranger entered the house eagerly. Mary hurried off to the kitchen for the last four pieces of bread, peanut butter, and bananas. In a few minutes, she returned and invited him to sit down to eat what she

70、could offer. After eating, the man thanked and said goodbye to her. Looking outside, Mary hesitated a moment and said, If you dont mind, you can sleep on the sofa.” That would be good enough, responded the man gratefully. Mary went into her room, and locked the door. The next morning, when she woke
