Earthquakes and Animals
Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently-animals．Animals often seem to know in advance that an eaghquake is coming．a(chǎn)nd they show their fear by acting in strange ways．Before a quake(地震)in China in l975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air．All the unusuaI behavior,as well as physical changes in earth，alerted(提醒)Chinese scientists to the coming quake．They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives．
One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes．It is not an easy job．First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake．Jusf before a Califomia quake in l979，for example，an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall．The horse next to him，however, remained perlectly calm．It is also difficult sometimes to tell the difierence between normal animal calmness and"earthquake nerves．"A zookeeper once told earthquake researchers that his cougar(美洲獅)had been acting strangely．It turned out that the cougar had a stomachache．
A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kinds of warning the animals receive．They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do．Many animals can see，hear，and smell things that people do not even notice．Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure．gravity,or the magnetism(磁力)of earth．This extra sense probably helps animals predict earthquakes．
A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs．They were closed in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes．Before each quake a low booming sound was heard．Each sound caused the dogs to bark(吠)wildly．The dogs began to bark during a silent period! A scientist who was recording the quakes looked at his machine．He realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise．They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it．The machine recorded both．though humans felt and heard nothing．
In this case there was a machine to check what the dogs were sensing．Many times，however, our machines record nothing out of the or dinary,even though animals know a quake is coming．The animals might be sensing something we do measure but do not recognize as a warning．Discovering what animals sense，and learning how they know danger signals，is a job for future scientists．
16 During an earthquake in China in 1975，some cows had"earthquake nerves"and some remained calm．
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 Chinese scientists moved people away from the coming quake zone after noticing the strange behavior of some animals and physical changes in earth．
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 Animals of the same kind always react in the same way to the danger of a quake
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 The cougar behaved strangely because it had sensed the threat of a quake．
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 All animals can sense the very small changes in air pressure，gravity,or the magnetism of earth．
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
21 The dogs mentioned in the passage sensed both the low booming sounds and the minor quakes following them．
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
22 A task for future scientists is to find out how an animal receives a warning signal.

Hurricanes(龍卷風(fēng))
1．Did you know that before 1950，hurricanes had no names?They were simply given numbers．The first names were simply Alpha，Bravo，Charlie，etc．But in 1953，female names were given because of the unpredictability(不可預(yù)知)factor of the storms．In 1979，realizing the sexist(性別歧視的)nature of such names，the lists were expanded to include both men and women．
2．Hurricanes and typhoons(臺(tái)風(fēng))are the same things．If they form in the Atlantic，we call these strong storms hurricanes，from the West Indian word hurricane，meaning"big wind．"And if they are Pacific storms，they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun，meaning"great wind．"To be classified as a hurricane，the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph.These storms are big，many hundreds of miles in diameter．
3．Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gwes out its stored'up energy．All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses(凝結(jié))from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator(赤道)．To make a hurricane，you must have extremely wet，warm all the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions．
4． Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour．In just one day alone，the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year!The problem is that we don't know how to make such great energy work for us．
5．Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters．It moves at a typical speed of l5 mph．But not always．Some storms may race along at twice this speed， then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days．It can be maddening(發(fā)瘋的)if you live in a coastal area that may be hit．
6．The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites．With these，we can see the storms form and track them fully,from birth to death．While they can still
kill people and destroy property,hurricanes will never surprise any natron again.
