A recent investigation by scientist at the U.S Geological Survey shows that strange animals behaviour might help predict earthquake Investigation found such occurrences within a ten- kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake Some bird
screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably
Scientists believe that animals can perceive environmental changes several hours or even days before the mishap Animals were noted as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan, earthquake
An hour before the disaster , domestic animals refused to go indoor In 1960, an earthquake struck Agadir in Moscow Survivors recall that stray animals , including dogs, were seen streaming out of town before the earthquake Ina safari zoo near San Francisco, lamas would not eat the evening before a 1979quake, and they ran around wildly all night
Unusual animal behavior preceding earthquakes has been noted for centuries British Admiral Robert Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over Concepcion, 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 earthquake destruction in India, and the United States

Education is not an end, but a means to an end In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them Our purpose is to fit them for life
In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation But we can already see that free education for all is not enough, we find in such countries a large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries But we have only to think a moment
to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in your towns In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society
77 The writer wants to prove that _
A our society needs all kinds of jobs
B our society needs free education for all
C a farmer is more important than a professor
D people with high education refuse to do what they think “low” work
78 According to the passage _
A work with hands is dirty and shameful B work with hands is low work
C work with hands is the most important D we can’t regard work with hands
as low work
79 The purpose of education is _
A to choose a system of education
B to prepare children mainly for their future work
C to let everyone receive education fit for him
D to build a perfect world
Trang 880 The passage tells us about _ of education
A the means B the system C the value
D the type
