natural disasters. For example, Chinese scientists in the 1970s  thought (think) that
reports of farm animals running round in circles might indicate an impending disaster. They
are decided (decide) to evacuate the city of Haichin, which shortly afterwards was hit by a
huge earthquake. Thousands of lives were probably saved as a result.

this can't be pure coincidence; they believe that the explanation may be linked to slight changes in
the Earth's magnetic field. Although human beings not be able to (not be able to)  perceive
such changes, it is thought that the sensitive nervous systems of some animals must be affected
by them. Now scientists must  discovered (discover)  exactly which animals are affected in
this way, so that more lives can be saved in the future
