Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow __5__(change) with the climate. A new idea is _6_ a meteor(流星) crashed into the earth. Scientists discovered a place in Mexico _7_ they think the meteor crashed.

Many animals, _8_ (include) dinosaurs, were plant eaters, and perhaps the dust killed __9___. This means there was nothing left for meat eating dinosaurs to eat, and so they died out.
