Read the following
passage. For Questions 1-5, choose the answer (A, B, C or D )which you think fits best according to the text. Write the appropriate letters A-D in boxes 1—5 on your answer sheet.
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 in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent earthquake. Some birds screeched and flew about widely; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating 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.

Every winter i go to the mountains. I stay in a beautiful hotel. The rooms in it are very comfortable! I take my skis and sledges. It is frosty and snowy in the mountains. My friends and i can sledge and ski. In the evenings we come to our rooms and have a rest. We watch TV play in the snow make snowmen or read books. We go to bed late in the evenings.
