If it wants to look at both sides, it must turn its neck. Owls see better at night than during the day. At night they look for food. They eat mice and insects（昆虫）.

This strange sound sometimes frightens（吓唬） people at night.根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确涂A,错误涂B。41. An owl looks clever because it can look straight ahead.42.
