Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each

of the question.

You have learned about dinosaurs in school. Maybe you have seen them in museum. But

how

much

do

you

really

know

about

these

animals?

Not

all

dinosaurs

were

just

big

reptiles.

For

years, scientists thought dinosaurs were big, dumb, and cold blooded - in other words, just giant

reptiles. Some dinosaurs were huge. But many were about the size of modern-day birds or dogs. Were

dinosaurs warm- or

cold

blooded?

Paleontologists-

are

not

sure.

But

they

believe

some

were

intelligent. Of course, no dinosaur was as smart as a human or even a monkey. However, some

smaller dinosaurs - like the two- meter (six-foot) Troodon — had fairly large brains.

Was Tyrannosaurus rex a powerful predator? Some scientists think the opposite is true. In

the movies, T.rex is often a speedy giant, but in fact, this dinosaur could not run very fast. Physically,

it was too large. In reality, T.rex probably moved as fast as an elephant. Also, T. rex had very

small

arms. Without

strong

legs

or

arms,

this

dinosaur

probably

wasn’t

a

powerful

hunter.

It

may have been a scavenger instead, only eating animals that were already dead.

Did an asteroid kill the dinosaurs? An asteroid hit Mexico’s Yucantan Peninsula about 65

million years ago. It created a 180-kilometer (HO-mile) wide crater called Chicxulub. Many believe

this asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. But even before this, dinosaurs were already dying

out around the world, for many reasons. At the end of the Cretaceous period, for example, the

global

climate

was changing

and

Earth's

temperature

was

getting

colder.Dinosaurs

completely

disappeared

about

65

million years

ago.

However,

scientists

believe

modern-day

birds

are

descendants of certain dinosaurs. If this true, then dinosaurs' relatives are still walking - and flying -

among us!
