22、Anyone who’s met a cat knows that cats are extremely difficult to keep track of. Once one of my cats disappeared somewhere in the house, hiding while I fruitlessly tore the place apart with the fear that it might have got outside. After some period of time, he just... reappeared. We’ll never beat a cat in a hide-and-seek game, because cats have such sensitive ears that enable them to track their owners’ whereabouts (所在之处).
That has been proved by a new study led by Saho Takagi, a doctoral student at Kyoto University. They did an experiment at a cat cafe with home setting to observe how cats reacted to their owners’ voices — without visual signals — when hearing their owners saying their names from speakers (扬声器). The researchers placed the speakers apart from each other, out of the cats’ sight, to see how the cats would respond to the sounds, especially if the owner’s voice appeared to “transport” from one location to another. The cats’ behaviors, especially their ear and head movements, would be carefully observed.
The researchers found that the cats were very surprised when their owners seemed to transport from one corner of the café to another. The results showed that cats have clear understanding of the relationship between space and sound, meaning they can mentally picture where others are through sound signals: “It is generally believed that cats are not as interested in their owners as dogs are, but it turns out that they just react differently. When hearing their owners’ voice, they are mentally picturing the invisible presence of their owners. This is an ability that is the basis of creativity and imagination,” Takagi said. “Cats have an unbelievable mind.”
“Cats seem to spend most of their time sleeping, but they may be thinking about many things, not just sleeping,” Takagi added. Our furry friends hear more — and think more — than we give them credit for. But whether they choose to listen to you or not is a different story.

【3】What may a cat usually react when it hears its owner in daily life?

24、Samir Lakhani’s enthusiasm for social work began when he studied environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh. Required to complete an internship, he traveled to Cambodia to study the effects of climate change on communities that had lived off the land for centuries.
While studying in Cambodia, he saw something he would never forget: a village woman bathing her newborn son with detergent. “It is a harsh and toxic alternative to the piece of soap that should never be used on the skin,” Lakhani remembered. “The baby was crying. I didn’t know what I could do, but as I returned to my hotel room and stepped into the bathroom, I realized that my housekeeper had thrown away the piece of soap I had hardly touched.”
That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank. “We shouldn’t live in a world where more than 2 million children die per year because of diseases that could easily be stopped by washing hands,” Lakhani stated.
Since 2014, Eco-Soap Bank has employed more than 150 economically disadvantaged women in ten developing countries to recycle leftover hotel soap. These women sanitize the soap and give the new product to people in need. “During the COVID-19 pandemic period, hotel occupancy has dropped and hotels are closing, so we need to change our recycling form,” he says. Lakhani is now reaching out to soap producers from all over the world, asking them if they would like to give scraps to Eco-Soap Bank, a natural byproduct from the production line. He said, “On average, 10% of all soap is wasted before it even hits stores’ shelves. We have recycled and reproduced 1.5 million pieces of soap in the last two months, and this is all female-powered, because that’s our duty.”
However, during the pandemic, the way to transport the soap to where it is needed for people puzzles Lakhani. He is trying to solve this problem and needs more help.

【3】What might be a problem Lakhani is faced with now?
A．How to protect the soap during the transportation.
B．How to get the soap to where it needs to be.
C．When to send the soap to developing countries.
D．How to give guidance on sanitizing the leftover soap.
