  Although the cat doesn’t  36   this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will  37 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.

Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then  43  later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always 44  to express your feelings freely.
