阅读下列4篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Who is better at predicting earthquakes, animals or scientists with instruments? Evidence collected so far suggests that an ordinary animal—a dog, a horse, a pit—may give as reliable a warning of an impending earthquake as scientists.

In 1970,200 instruments failed to predict a California earthquake that shook building in San Francisco, 78 miles away. But in 1974, several months before a big earthquake in China，pigs climbed the walls, hens would not roost(栖息)，trained dogs did not obey commands and farmyard geese refused to fly．The Chinese scientists paid attention to these and other signs, they educated people before the earthquake struck there and saved a hundred thousand lives．

Many nations now have animals-warning centers to try to learn the animal sense so that instruments call be built to detect the same signal．
