SOME ANIMALS CAN PREDICT FUTURE EARTHQUAKES
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange
animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such
occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds
screeched and flew about wildly: dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as
several days before the mishap.
In 1976, after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating
quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able
to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
1. What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior? A. An impending earthquake
B. The number of people who will die
C. The ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter D. Environmental changes
2. Why can animals perceive these changes when humans cannot?
A. Animals are smarter than humans.
B. Animals have certain instincts that humans don’t possess.
C. By running around the house, they can feel the vibrations.
D. Humans don’t know where to look.
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake
B. By observing animal behavior scientists perhaps can predict earthquakes.
C. The Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives
D. All birds and dogs in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter went wild before the earthquake.
4. In this passage, the word “evacuate” most nearly means _____________. A. remove B. destroy C. exile D. emaciate
5. If scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be _____________. A. fewer animals going crazy B. a lower death rate C. fewer people evacuated

Science is one of the most important subjects we study at school. I loved it. I thought it
wasso interesting. Time in my science lessons went very quickly because I was always
working on things and doing experiments. I liked all of the sciences, physics, biology and
chemistry. I wish I continued studying science. I would love to be a scientist now. I think
being a computer scientist would be great. Science is so important for our life and our
world. All of the world’s problems can be solved with science. We can go to different
planets because of science. I hope governments pump lots of money into science so we
have more and better scientists in the future. It’s interesting to think about what future science will be like.

The very first, simple, text message was sent on December 3rd, 1992. It was sent by
software engineer Neil Papworth to his boss at the British mobile phone operator
Vodafone. It read simply, "Merry Christmas". Little did they know that their simple mode
of communication would take the world by storm. SMS (Short Message Service) is today
a multi-billion-dollar industry covering every corner of the globe. An estimated nine
trillion text messages are sent globally each year. Everyone from presidents to
schoolchildren to villagers in remote parts of developing countries relies on it to communicate.
SMS is now an integral part of daily life for most of us. It is the preferred method of
communication between family members. One study showed that the average American
teenager sends up to 60 texts a day. However, SMS has also been blamed for a decline in
language ability and an increase in traffic accidents. A new sub-language has spread
worldwide as texters find shortcuts to write their messages as quickly as possible using
the fewest possible characters. Texting shorthand such as LOL (laugh out loud) and
OMG (oh my god) has even entered the Oxford English Dictionary.
