Farmers living in the countrysidethink so. For hundreds of years, they have observed animals. They think animals’ behavior (行為) can be connected to future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane is ing. Or, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is ing. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories are just folklore, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence (證據(jù)). Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas. Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation (調(diào)查) of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake. He noticed some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的；侵略的) behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly, jumped (猛增) 60 percent! People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. The animal behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people.40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. What animals do during earthquakes
