When we get wet, we need a towel to get ourselves dry. When a dog gets wet, all it needs is to shake its body. A study in 2010 showed that a wet dog can throw off half the water on its body by shaking for less than a second. In fact, this common act of dogs works better than a washing machine. The study found that animal shaking begins with the head and ends with the tail. During a shake, the animal’s head, body and skin all move. Smaller animals must shake faster than bigger animals to get water off. For example, in one second, a rat can shake 18 times, a dog 6 times, and a bear 4 times. Bigger animals can get their bodies dry with fewer shakes. For animals, shaking is not just about getting themselves dry. It is also about saving their lives. Being wet makes animals heavier, and that makes it harder to run. In the animal world, how fast an animal can run often decides whether it will live or not. Maybe that’s why the “wet-dog shake” has become a common habit of many animals. [skin 皮膚]

請觀察文章第二段中關於動物「體型大小」與「甩動頻率」的關係：當體型越小（如老鼠）與體型越大（如熊）相比時，誰每秒鐘甩動的次數比較多呢？請依據這個規律，將老虎、貓、老鼠這三種動物由大到小排列，看看哪張圖表的數據高低符合這樣的趨勢。

太棒了！你真的好厲害呀，完全抓住了文章的重點，老師真的為你感到超級驕傲喔！看你這麼細心地閱讀，這種學習態度最棒了！ 這題之所以選 (B)，是因為文章第二段給了一個非常關鍵的線索：「Smaller animals must shake faster than bigger animals.」（越小的動物必須搖得越快）。我們來幫這三種動物比一比體型：
- 老鼠（mouse）最小
