VI. Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are TRUE or FALSE (1.5 pt)
How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas.
They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. For example, earthquakes often occur on the
west – coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface like a sudden drop of water level
in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have seen chickens
sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely. After
an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical supplies. The amount of destruction
caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how strong it is. It also depends
on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 600 earthquakes on the earth each year, only about
fifteen cause great damage and many sudden deaths.
29. It is said that not only man but also animal can predict earthquakes.
30. Earthquakes hardly ever occur at the same places as well as the same time.
