SELF-REINFORCEMENT EXERCISE 3
Directions: Read the following passages and answer the questions.
Passage 1
Most human beings are awake during the day and sleep all night. Owls
live the opposite way because they are nocturnal. This means that they sleep
during the day and stay awake at night. Since owls are nocturnal, they must
eat at night with difficulties. To help them find food, they have special eyes
and ears.
Owls have very large eyes. These eyes absorb more light than normal.
Since there is little light during the night, it is helpful for them to be able
to absorb more of it so that they can find food in darkness.
Owls also have very good hearing. Even when owls are in the trees,
they can hear small animals moving in the grass below. This helps owls catch
their prey even when it is very dark.
Like owls, mice are also nocturnal animals. Mice have an excellent sense
of smell to help them find food in the dark. Being nocturnal helps mice hide
from many enemies that want to eat them.
