Do dogs have a sixth sense ? Yes , but perhaps not in the way that is generally assumed There is nothing
supernatural in the sensitivities of dogs They can all be explained by biological machanisms For instance , dogs can find their way home from long distance This ability seems to be based on the detection of subtle difference and changes in the earth’s magnetic field
Dogs are also capable of predicting thunderstorm When a storm is imminent , they may become intensely
alarmed and begin trembling as if in pain This sensitivity is a respone to changes in barometric pressure It may seem to be meaningless behaviour today , bit in the dog’s wild ancestry it made good sense to become worried by these clomatic signals
One of the most amazing claims for dogs’ sixth sense was made recently by researches who reported that they had discovered infrared detectors in dogs’ noses This could explain certain abilities previously thought to be
supermarket St Bernard dogs , for example , are said to be able to tell whether a climber buried in an avalanche
is still alive , simply by sniffing the snow We know that sensitive heat detector exists in the snouts of certain snakes , and this strengthens the case for their existence in dogs We are still learning how dogs achieve such remarkable feats as have been recorded time and again
76 According to this passage , the sixth sense in dogs is
a superstitious b generally assumed supernatural
c never explained by biological mechanisms c appreciated by human beings
77 It’s the detection of subtle differences and changes in the earth’s magnetic field that
a gives dogs a good sense of direction b makes dogs sensitive to human beings
c helps dogs predict changes in weather d enables dogs to predict thunderstorms
78 Dogs may become intensely alarmed and begin trembling when
a they are beaten b they are in pain
c they cannot find their way home d a storm is going to happen
79 What helps a dog know whether a burried person is alive or not ?
a The changes in the earth’s magnetic field b The changes in barometric pressure
c The infrared heat sensors on dogs’ snouts d The supernatural sensitivity of dogs
80 Which of the following statemants would the author probably agree with ?
a The behaviour of some dogs during thunderstroms indicates that they are afraid of drowning
b Scientists will be able to discover how dogs’s senses work
c Dogs have more kinds of perception than people because they need them
d The presence of heat detectors in dogs proves that dogs are supernatural animals
