Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man’s friends.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(营救)dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into 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 rat's 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 rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t 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 don’t 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 couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t 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).

12. Why are rats used in the new research project?

A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.

C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.

13. What is the purpose of the new research project?

A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.

C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.

14. What’s the main reason why rats are better than robots to find survivors?

A. Rats have a better sense of smell to find survivors.

B. Robots can't judge the smell of living survivors.

C. Rats have natural ability to find survivors.

D. Rats can get to spaces unreachable for robots.

15. What is the main idea of the text?

A. The“rat project”would be fantastic.

B. Rats will soon be man’s new best friends.

C. Rats help find survivors after the earthquake.

D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.
