String instruments have got thick or thin strings and long or short strings to make different notes. The shape of the string instrument also helps to make the sound. If the shape is bigger, the music sounds lower. Musicians often use a bow to play string instruments, The bow is a piece of wood with hairs or a string stretched between its ends. Musicians slide it over the strings to make sounds. You can also make music by hitting or shaking something. Percussion instruments can be made from many things. That’s because most things make a sound when you hit them. The air inside the instrument makes the sound louder. A drum is a percussion instrument, but instruments with strings can be percussion instruments, too. When you hit strings, you can make music. A piano is a percussion instrument.

Some scientists say that it might be, We're going to look at a few examples. Many people who have got dogs know about their behaviour. They can see when dogs are more nervous than usual. One ‘example is Champ, an cleven-year-old dog who went down to the basement and wouldn't come out. His family knew he was scared. ‘They looked at the sky and saw a tornado coming. So they took shelter in the basement, too. The tornado destroyed their house but they were safe in the basement with Champ. Dogs can hear low sounds, feel changes in air pressure and smell better than people. So they can often help tell when a storm is coming. Birds often change their movements before a storm. Golden ‘winged warblers are birds that migrate from Latin America to North America. In 2014, scientists studying migration noticed that the birds weren't in the state of Tenmessee at the right time. In fact, they flew 1,500 kilometres 00 miles) more to avoid a huge storm. Itis possible they heard the low sounds from the thunder. They returned to Tennessee a few days later. Have you ever heard that some species can predict earthquakes and tsunamis? Elephants are very good at this. Their big feet can feel ibrations in the ground. In the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, elephants escaped up the hills before the sea water flooded the beaches. They probably fet early vibrations of the earthquake that caused the tsunami.

READING Listen and read. Listening for Life If extraterrestrials live on other planets, we can’t see them, Planets in other solar systems are extremely far away. We can't see the planets, even with our biggest telescopes. But what if the extraterrestrials want to communicate with us? What if they are sending messages? This signal would travel through space. After many years, it might reach our solar system. It would be hidden in the noise from other places in space. We would need special tools to hear it Scientists at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) have made a tool for listening. It uses 42 satellite dishes that are connected together. Scientists plan to have 350 dishes one day. They point all the dishes at the same place in the sky. Then they search for any data they can hear. The dishes can hear very weak signals. For example, hey could hear a mobile phone on a planet in our solar system. (That's if someone had a mobile phone on Jupiter!) The dishes pick up noise from radios on Earth, too. Scientists must be careful to avoid this noise. We have not heard from an extraterrestrial yet. But is it possible that they are listening to us? If they are, most could not have heard us yet. We have used radios for just over 100 years. That isn't much time for the big distances in the universe, Jn that time, our signal could only reach a small number of stars. Extraterrestrials from nearby solar systems would not hear us for thousands cf years. rey k T for True or F for False. 1. Extraterrestrials have listened to our radio waves for over 100 years. 2.
