But in the earthquake capitals of the worldJapan, Los Angeles, Turkeyrats will soon be mans new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We sendinrescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant getinto small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity！ The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course)1In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become mans best friends because they can _.

Athey are more fantastic than other animals Bthey are less expensive to train than dogs Cthey dont need electricity Dthey are small and can get into small spaces答案：A细节理解题。文章第一句提到“Everybody hates rats.”，由此可知，人们并不喜欢老鼠。1earthquake n. 地震2rescue n. 营救；援救3electricity n. 电1send in 派去2get into 进入完形填空In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.
