SECTION –A (READING)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
The noise made by birds is not just a chirping or crowing noise. It has a variety of
meanings. If we consider the common crow, studies have shown that they make a
variety of sounds—to call crows to come together, to express alarm and to
communicate a state of distress. Ornithologists (people who study birds and their
habits), who have recorded these sounds with the help of sonographs, are still trying to
understand the meanings behind the different sounds. Different kinds of birds have
different ways of communication, each for a different purpose. In the same way, human
beings have body language that means different things for different movements. For
example, nodding can mean ‘yes’ or ‘no’. A wave may be a sign of calling someone to
greet or an attempt to attract attention. Although the sounds made by birds are a means
of communication, they too have a body language. Their body language is easier to
understand. For example, when a bird makes a sound by touching its beak with his
tongue, it means, ‘I am a friend, I do not want to harm you.’
2. What are the people who study birds and their habits called?
3. What device do ornithologists use to record the sounds made by the birds?
4. What does it mean when a bird touches its beak with its tongue?
