The reading passage describes a traditional story about the ostriches.

The
listening passage describes what this traditional story actually is.

The reading passage presents a traditional story about the way the ostrich
defends itself. The ostrich weighs up to 350 pounds (160 kilograms) and is a
large bird that cannot fly. According to the traditional story, the ostrich buries its
head in the sand in the face of danger. When it buries its head in the sand, the
ostrich cannot protect the rest of its body from danger.

The listening passage casts doubt on this traditional story by describing the ways
that the ostrich really protects itself. The ostrich does not have to bury its head in
the ground in the face of danger, because it has three ways to defend itself. The
ostriches immediately notice danger thanks to their amazing sense of hearing
and sight. In this manner, they move away from the predetor speedily. If they
have to fight their enemy, they can handle it with their strong kicks. Therefore,
these animals have three ways to protect themselves and none of them bury
their heads in the sand.
