You have learned about dinosaurs in school Maybe you have seen them in museum But how much do you really know about these animals? Not all dinosaurs were just big reptiles For years, scientists thought dinosaurs were big, dumb, and cold blooded - in other words, just giant reptiles Some dinosaurs were huge But many were about the size of modern-day birds or dogs.Were dinosaurs warm- or cold blooded? Paleontologists are not sure But they believe some were intelligent Of course, no dinosaur was as smart as a human or even a monkey However, some smaller dinosaurs - like the two-meter (six-foot) Troodon - had fairly large brains

Was Tyrannosaurus rex a powerful predator? Some scientists think the opposite is true In the movies, T.rex is often a speedy giant, but in fact, this dinosaur could not run very fast Physically,

it was too large In reality, T.rex probably moved as fast as an elephant Also, T rex had very

small arms Without strong legs or arms, this dinosaur probably wasn't a powerful hunter It may have been a scavenger instead, only eating animals that were already dead

Did an asteroid kill the dinosaurs? An asteroid hit Mexico's Yucantan Peninsula about 65 million years ago It created a 180-kilometer (110-mile) wide crater called Chicxulub Many believe this asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs But even before this, dinosaurs were already dying out around the world, for many reasons At the end of the Cretaceous period, for example, the global climate was changing and Earth's temperature was getting colder

Dinosaurs completely disappeared about 65 million years ago However, scientists believe

modern-day birds are descendants of certain dinosaurs If this true, then dinosaurs' relatives are

still walking - and flying - among us!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question

Alaska is disappearing slowly, but surely It is estimated that since the 1950s, as much as fifteen percent of Alaska’s land area has disappeared How can a whole state be disappearing? The problem is that Alaska’s glaciers are melting The state has more than 100,000 glaciers These glaciers account for about 75,000 square kilometers, or five percent, of the state’s area That is an area of land larger than Ireland!

According to a recent report by the US Geological Survey, ninety-nine percent of Alaska’s glaciers are either retreating or diminishing This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global temperatures Since the 1960s, the average year-round temperature has increased by almost 3°C Additionally, the average winter temperature has increased by over 6°C Presently, an estimated 100 cubic kilometers of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year It may be even more in the near future, as some scientists predict that the average world temperature could

go up 4 to 7°C by the year 2100

Another problem facing Alaska is its thawing permafrost Much of the land in Alaska used to

be permanently frozen or frozen for most of the year Now, the thawing permafrost is causing a number of problems for people living in Alaska Roads and utility poles are collapsing as the

ground around and under them warms and soften Also, the hard permafrost that originally

prevented beaches from eroding during violent storms is now melting People who live along

Alaska’s coasts are being forced to relocate For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm

could wipe out the entire community

The melting permafrost and increasing temperatures are both affecting the forests of Alaska

As the permafrost under the forests melts, insects that normally do not turn up until the warmer seasons are appearing sooner The spruce-bark beetle, for example, is increasing in numbers as a result of warmer winter temperatures It usually takes about two years for these beetles to grow and reproduce in very cold weather However, due to the increase in temperatures, spruce-bark

beetles are reproducing faster and damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged

in two If something cannot be done to change things, Alaska’s forests will not survive the turn of the century

Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in weather temperature Whatever the cause of rising temperatures may be, the fact remains that temperatures are warming, affecting Alaska for the worse Horribly, this could be a preview of what will happen

to the rest of the world in the next century
