TEXT 1 QUESTIONS NO. 1-7

An owl is a bird. There are two basic types of
owls: typical owls and barn owls. Owls live in almost
every country of the world.
Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are
awake at night. Owls are predators- they hunt the
food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other
small mammals, insects, and even fish. Owls are
well adapted for hunting. Their soft, fluffy feathers
make their flight nearly silent. They have very good
hearing, which helps them to hunt well in the darkness.
The sharp hooked beaks and claws of the owl make it
very easy to tear apart prey quickly, although owls also
eat some prey whole.
Owl eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both
of the owls eyes face front. The owl cannot move its
eyes. Owls are far-sighted, which means they can
see very well far away... but they cant see up close
very well at all.
Owls can turn their heads 180 degrees. This
makes it look like they might be able to turn their
heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the
owl needs to see whats going on all around him.
Perhaps because of the owls mysterious
appearance, there are a lot of myths and superstitions
about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are
unusually wise.. However, owls probably do not interact
with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species
may become extinct because of humans.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE about
owls?
a. Owls have poor vision
b. Owls are able to fly silently.
c. Owls have the best hearing of all
birds.
d. Owls eat small animals.
e. Owls dont sleep at night.
2. What is the eyesight of the owl used for?
a. flying

c. sleeping
d. peeping
e. none of these
3. What is the purpose of this story?
a. to inform
b. to entertain
c. to persuade
d. to retell
e. none of these

The Eagle, the Cat, and the Wild Sow
An eagle made her nest at the top of a lofty
tree; a cat, having found a convenient hole, moved into

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school,
a number of dustbins should be increased. When we
look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard,
there are papers, mineral water cups, straws and
napkins here and there. The condition of un cleanliness
and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching
environment . Litters thrown carelessly cause disease ,
especially empty plastic cups and glasses. They can
be filled out with water coming from the rain . This can
be places for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.
Besides, this rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Wellpainted wall and green school yard do not mean
anything if litters are scattered everywhere.
I notice that most of the students in our school
have responsibilities for their school environment. They
put their litters on the proper places . But some are not
diligent enough to find the dustbins. The number of
dustbins in our school is not enough. Most dustbins
should be put beside each of steps ,outside the
classrooms and some more along the corridors .
Probably one dustbins should be in every ten meters.
When students want to throw away their litters , they
can find the dustbins easily.

we do not have problems of filth and discomfort

nice place to study.
