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 about ten kilometers from where a fairly
recent earthquake took place. ‘Some birds made strange sounds and flew about
wildly, dogs barked and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can sense these environmental changes as
early as several days before the disaster.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese scientists were able
to predict a terrifying earthquake. 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.

41. What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior?

a. A likely earthquake.
b. The number of people who will be killed.
c. The number of people who will be evacuated.
d. Environmental changes.
42. Why are animals aware of these changes when humans are not?
 a. Animals are cleverer than humans.
b. Animals have certain instincts that humans do not.
c. Animals can feel the shaking of the earth by running around the house.
d. Humans don’t know where to look.
43. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
a. Some animals may be able to sense a coming earthquake.
b. By observing anima behavior, scientists can predict earthquakes.
c. The Chinese scientists have successfully predicted an earth quake and
saved many lives.
d. All birds and dogs in surrounding areas went wild before the earth
quake.

44. In this passage, the word “evacuate” (in the last paragraph) most nearly
means ..................
a. remove b. replace c. move d. drive
45. If scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be ..................
a. fewer animals going wild.
