Brown bears are found in Alaska and western of Canada. They are first cousins of the

grizzly, belonging to the species Ursus arctos. The chief difference in them is size, as brown bears
on the average are slightly larger. A full-grown male may weigh 1,500 pounds and stand 9 to 10
feet tall. Like bears everywhere they are creatures of habit that tread the same trails year after year.
Brown bears have three gaits: an even, deliberate one that takes them over rough or boggy ground
at a steady clip, a quick shuffle, and a fast gallop. They are not only surprisingly fast, but also, for
such huge beasts, amazingly agile. They can charge up and climb down nearly vertical inclines.
Fishing the streams in summer, they pounce on swift-moving salmon and snatch them with almost
simultaneous movements of their paws and mouths. Brown bears are excellent swimmers and love
to loll and wallow in the water on warm days. They are also curious and playful. Most manifest a
fear of humans, but Alaskans prefer not to test these creatures and usually carry noisemakers of
some kind to warn the bears of their presence.

they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.

IX. Read the passage carefully and decide whether the following statements are true (T)

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 about
ten kilometers from where a fairly recent earthquake took place. Some birds made strange
sounds and flew about wildly, dogs barked and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can sense these environmental changes as early as several days
before the disaster. In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese scientists were able
to predict a terrifying 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.

STATEMENTS

People can depend on strange animal behavior to predict coming earthquakes.
Millions of people in China died from the earthquake in 1976.
The disaster happens because animals can sense the environmental changes as

earthquakes can save lots of people from being killed.

Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from land, which
means it comes from people.
Firstly, there is raw sewage, which is pumped directly into the sea. Many countries, both
developed and developing, are guilty of doing this.
Secondly, ships drop about 6 million tons of garbage into the sea each year.
Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships. A ship has an accident and oil leaks from the vessel.
This not only pollutes the water, but it also kills marine life. Next, there are waste materials
from factories. Without proper regulations, factory owners let the waste run directly into the
rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil is washed from the land. This can be the
result of carelessness or a deliberate dumping of waste.
37. The passage is mainly about __________.
A. polluted oceans
B. the benefits of ocean
C. ocean pollution causes

38. What does the word “this” in line 4 refer to?
