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 the middle of the trunk; and a wild sow, with her young, hide in an empty at its foot. The cat cleverly resolved to destroy this colony.

She climbed to the nest of the eagle, and said, "Destruction is preparing for you, and for me too, unfortunately. The wild sow, who digging up the ground, wishes to uproot the tree, so she may grab our families as food for her young."

Then having frightened the eagle, she crept down to the cave of the sow, and said, "Your children are in great danger; for as soon as you go out with your young to find food, the eagle is prepared to seize upon one of your little pigs."

Having frightened the sow, she pretended to hide herself in the hole of the tree. When night came she went forth with silent foot and obtained food for herself and her kittens, but pretending to be afraid, she kept watch out all through the day, and still hide in the hole.

TEXT 3 QUESTIONS NO. 17 – 23 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 owl’s eyes face front. The owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far-sighted, which means they can see very well far away... but they can’t 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 what’s going on all around him.

Perhaps because of the owl’s 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.

a. Owls eat small animals.b. Owls are able to fly silently.c. Owls have the best hearing of all birds.d. Owls have poor visione. Owls don’t sleep at night.

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. Well-painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything if litters are scattered everywhere.

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.
