Everyone has a moment in history which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person "the world today" or "life" or "reality", he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. For me, this moment—four years in a moment in history—was the war. The war was and is reality for me. I still instinctively live and think in its atmosphere. These are some of its characteristics: Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the President of the United States, and he always has been. The other two eternal world leaders are Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. America is not, never has been, and never will be what the songs and poems call it, a land of plenty. Nylon, meat, gasoline and steel are rare. There are too many jobs and not enough workers. Money is very easy to earn but rather hard to spend, because there isn’t very much to buy. Trains are always late and always crowded with "service men". The war will always be fought very far from America, and it will never end. Nothing in America stands still for very long, including the people who are always either leaving or on leave. People in America cry often. Sixteen is the key and crucial natural age for a human being to be, and people of all other ages are ranged in an orderly manner ahead of and behind you as a harmonious setting for the sixteen year olds of the world. When you are sixteen, adults are slightly impressed and almost intimidated by you. This is a puzzle finally solved by the realization that they foresee your military future: fighting for them. You do not foresee it. To waste anything in America is immoral. String and tinfoil are treasures. Newspapers are always crowded with strange maps and names of towns, and every few months the earth seems to lurch from its path when you see something in the newspapers, such as the time Mussolini, who almost seemed one of the eternal leaders, is photographed hanging upside down on a meathook. Why does the author think adults are impressed with sixteen year olds
Adults would like to be young.
B. Sixteen year olds do not waste things.
C. Sixteen year olds read newspapers.
D. They will be fighting soon for adults.

In the People’s Republic of China the odd prequake behavior of horses and other animals has been used successfully to warn people that earthquakes are about to occur. Recently, a group of American geologists and geophysicists visited China and listened with great interest to scientists there who explained how they have been able to predict many earthquakes in the past three years. The American scientists compared the influence of the unique Chinese program with the influence of Chinese acupuncture on Western medicine. The Chinese scientists use modern electronic equipment--but they also monitor strange signals such as various ground noises, the fluctuation of well water levels, and the strange behavior of animals. The results are quite interesting. Chinese earthquake experts, for example, successfully predicted two magnitude 6.9 quakes near the China-Burma border on May 29, 1976. The earthquake experts say that their predictions have been so precise that they were able to remove many of their people before an earthquake occurred, thus saving thousands of lives. On the other hand, the Chinese experts also admit that there have been some false alarms. In the most intensive effort on earth to predict earthquakes, an army of Chinese professional and amateur quake watchers is organized to obtain daily information about ground movements wherever a major tremor is anticipated. The volunteer observation teams use electronic instruments and listen for earthquake warning signals that have been described in old records. According to these historical records, farmers had known that something was very wrong in the earth beneath them whenever horses reared and raced, dogs howled, and fish leaped. Also animals such as snakes and rats that people saw rarely, suddenly came out of their hiding places by the dozen. Some records said that sounds like thunder could be heard coming from the ground in the days and hours just before an earthquake. In some cases, swimmers could hear underwater sounds that people on land did not hear. Also, clear well water usually became muddy and the water levels of the wells changed. The Chinese methods of prediction are probably based on intuition and experience with many major earthquakes. Three thousand years of historical records show that China suffered its greatest natural disaster when earthquake in 1556 killed more than 820,000 people. At present, China averages six quakes of at least 6.0 on the Richter scale each year, whereas the United States averages two or three per year, mainly in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. American scientists have heard stories of unusual prequake animal behavior before, but they never took them too seriously until their recent visit to China. "Maybe there’s something to it," said Jack Everndon, a California earthquake expert, "We need some kind of short term warning. We need something." He didn’t mention the kind of research he may be considering. "Some of us are thinking it’s worthwhile enough to give a serious look," he commented. "Two years ago, we wouldn’t have said that.\ According to paragraph 3, what can we conclude
A. To predict earthquakes, an army should be organized.
B. Farmers are able to anticipate an earthquake precisely.
C. Animals have the ability to foretell an earthquake.
D. Peculiar behavior of animals can be used to assist scientists in making short term prediction of earthquakes.
