The following text is for questions 4 10.

The last investigation by scientists at the Geological
Survey shows that strange animal behaviour might help
predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such
occurences in a nine- kilometer radius of epicenter of a
fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew
about wildly; dogs barked and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these
environmental changes as early as several days before
the mishap.
In 1970 after observing the animal behaviour, the
Chinese could predict a devastating quake. Although
hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the
government could evacuate millions of other people, and
thus keep the death victim at lower level.
