Reading
C Directions: Read the text below. Then, for questions 11-15 choose the correct item (A, B
or C).

Owls

Owls are truly beautiful birds. But don’t look for one during a morning walk through the forest – they are asleep!
Owls only come out when it’s dark. They do this because the small animals they eat, like mice, also come out at
night.
An owl’s home is in the countryside, away from the noisy and crowded cities. They usually live in trees, but some of
them make their home in barns or old buildings. Owls don't make their own nests. Instead, they live in the nests of
other birds that are now empty.
There are about 200 different kinds of owl. There’s the great horned owl, which has got dark feathers that look like
horns on the top of its head. Some people think that these feathers are the bird’s ears, but they’re not! There is also
the burrowing owl, which lives on the ground; and the barn owl, which is the most common of all. All owls have got
large eyes, strong claws and good hearing.
One funny species is the elf owl. This little bird is very clever. When it feels it is in danger or thinks something is
about to attack it, it doesn’t move or fly away at all. It plays dead until the danger goes away!
