How Milk Gets to the Shop

A dairy cow is milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening. The milk goes straight into a cold tank. Cold milk keeps fresh much longer than warm milk. A tanker takes the milk to a dairy. There it is heated for a few seconds to kill germs, then cooled again fast. This is called pasteurising. Last, the milk is poured into bottles and driven to the shop.

1. What does "pasteurising" mean in this text?
2. How often is a dairy cow milked?
3. Where does the milk go straight after milking?
4. Why is the milk heated for a few seconds?

Bats

Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Their wings are made of thin skin stretched between long finger bones. Most bats come out at night. They find their way by making high squeaks. The squeaks bounce off things and come back. The bat listens to the echo and knows what is ahead. Many bats eat insects. One small bat can eat a thousand insects in a night.

1. The author says bats are unusual mammals. What reason is given?
2. What is an "echo"?
3. When do most bats come out?
4. What are a bat's wings made of?
