A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that animals’ strange behaviour might
help predict earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrence within a ten-kilometre radius of the epicentre of a fairly
recent quake. Some birds have screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive changes several hours or even days before the mishap. Animals
were noted as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s earthquake. An hour before the disaster,
domestic animals refused to go indoors, and dogs howled and barked furiously. In 1960, an earthquake struck
Agadir in Morocco. Survivors recall that stray animals, including dogs, were seen screaming out of town before the
earthquake. In a safari zoo near San Francisco, Ilamas would not eat the evening before the 1979 earthquake, and they
ran around wildly all night.
Unusual animal behaviour preceding earthquake has been noted for centuries. British Admiral Robert
Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over Conception, Chile, in 1835; an hour and a half later, dogs were
seen fleeing, and ten minutes later the town was destroyed. Similar stories of chickens running around in apparent
state of panic ; horses trembling and dogs barking incessantly were recorded throughout the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries by survivors of earthquakes in India, Yugoslavia, Peru, Mexico, and the United States.
In 1976, after monitoring animals’ behaviour, the Chinese predicted a devastating earthquake. Although
hundreds of thousands were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the
death toll at a lower level.

In studying the phenomenon usually referred to as sleep, we are actually dealing with more than one
phenomenon. In point of fact, we spend the night alternating between two different types of sleep, each with different
brain mechanism and and different purposes.
As a person falls asleep, his brain waves develop aslower and less regular pattern than in a waking state. This
is called orthodox sleep. In this state the brain is apparently resting. Its blood supply is reduced, and its temperature
falls slightly. Breath and heart rate are regular. The muscles remain slightly tensed. After about an hour in this state,
however, the brain waves begin to show a more active pattern again, even though the person is apparently asleep very
deeply. This is called paradoxical sleep because it has nuch in common with being awake.
Paradoxical (active) sleep is marked by irregular breathing and heart rate, increase blood supply to the brain,
and increased brain temperature most of the muscles are relaxed. There are serious jerky movements of the body
and face, including short burst rapid eye movement, which indicates that we are dreaming. Thus, we spend the night
the night alternating between these two vital “restoration jobs”: working on the brain and working on the body.

06. The two different types of sleep are characterized 09. Orthodox sleep is characterized by all of the
by different .... following EXCEPT ....
(A) lengths of sleep (A) regular heart rate and breathing
(B) degrees of soundness (B) lower brain temperature
(C) sleep movement (C) jerky body movements
(D) brain wave pattern (D) reduced supply of oxygen to the brain
(E) eye movement (E) slightly tensed muscle

07. it seems that our brain some rest .... 10. From the text we may conclude that ....
(A) after several hours of sleeping (A) our brain is restoring our physical and mental
(B) during orthodox sleep condition
(C) before and after orthodox sleep (B) we can really be as active as when we are awake
(D) when we wske up from sleeping (C) the tensed muscles are caused by the changing
(E) during the paradoxical sleep phase of sleep
(D) orthodox sleep is more important paradoxical
08. The second stage of sleep is called paradoxical sleep
sleep because .... (E) irregular heart rate while sleeping is due to bad
(A) it comes after the orthodox phase of sleeping dreams
(B) we sleep but our muscles are tensed
(C) it is totally different from orthodox sleep
(D) we only dream during this phase of sleeping
(E) the brain is active during this phase of sleep

A popular method of treating exposure to very cold weather and frostbite is to slowly rewarm the fingers or toes
or to rub them with snow. The best treatment, __11__, is not slow rewarming but __12__ rewarming. Putting the fingers
or toe in warm bath __13__ a heating pad, or using a hot water bottle are all good ways to __14__ frostbite. Hot drinks
to warm the body from within are helpful. One must be careful about burning the skin, however, __15__ the affected
parts are anaesthesized. The temperature of any heat applied should not be greater than 34 0C (110 0F).
