Owls
Owls hunt at night. Their eyes are very large, so they can see when there is almost no light.
An owl's feathers have soft edges. This makes their wings quiet. A mouse cannot hear an owl coming.
Owls cannot move their eyes from side to side. Instead, they turn their whole head. An owl can turn its head much further than you can.
1. When do owls hunt?
2. What does "hunt" mean in this text?
3. The author says an owl turns its head. What reason is given?
4. Why are an owl's eyes very large?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.
What Roots Do
Roots grow down while the stem grows up. They do two jobs.
First, roots hold the plant in the ground. A tall tree in a storm stays up because its roots spread wide under the soil.
Second, roots drink. Tiny hairs on the roots take in water from the soil. The water travels up the stem to the leaves.
A plant with damaged roots wilts, even if it is watered.
1. What does "wilts" mean?
2. The author says a plant with damaged roots wilts. What reason is given?
3. Which way do roots grow?
4. What takes in water from the soil?
