　　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(美洲狮)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
