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. What makes an owl's wings quiet?
2. The author says an owl turns its head. What reason is given?
3. Why are an owl's eyes very large?
4. When do owls hunt?

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 is the heating step called?
2. How often is a dairy cow milked?
3. Why is the milk heated for a few seconds?
4. What does "pasteurising" mean in this text?
