STANDARDIZED TESTS In today's specialized world, standardized tests have become valuable instruments in helping to determine a person's placement in school or in the work place. Standardized tests--those which have been used, revised, and used again until their results are uniform under controlled conditions--can measure a person's achievement in a particular area, his aptitude and interests, and even his ability to get along well with other people. These tests compare @ person's performance with that of a large group of people in order to show whether that person is average, above average, or below average. e@ Achievement tests are used by educators to measure learning in a specific area. The content of these tests is taken from what a student has studied over a period of time and is designed to find out whether the student has learned what his teacher has tried to teach him. The results of these tests might be used to grade or promote students. Aptitude and interest tests are special kinds of measurements used to measure a person's ability to learn certain skills and knowledge. Aptitude tests can measure a person's ability to move his fingers quickly in order to see if he would be a good typist. Other aptitude tests might measure a person's ability to hear tones. If the person can't hear well, for example, he shouldn't try to be a musician. Aptitude tests include tests for ability to acquire skills in art, clerical work, mathematics, music, reading, and speaking foreign languages. Finally, by using standardized tests to measure learning ability, recall of information, accuracy in computation, or manual skill, educators are better able to predict how well a student will learn in school, and personnel specialists can estimate an employee's aptitude for certain kinds of jobs. 31 QUESTIONS: 1. Which type of test measures how well a student has learned e in the classroom? Which test might predict that a person would be suitable as a foreign language interpreter? Which standardized test indicates the area or field in which @ person enjoys working? Is an aptitude test given before job training begins or after training is complete? 32 + Enrichment ‘TROUBLESOME ENGLISH Subject/Verb Agreement A verb must agree in number (either singular or plural) with its subject. Correct: The coach was pleased with the team's performance. Incorrect: The coach were pleased with the team's performance. A noun or prepositional phrase coming between the subject and a verb does not affect the number of the verb. Correct: The coach, along with his assistants, was pleased with the team's performance. Incorrect: The coach, along with his assistants, were pleased with the team's performance. 33 IDIOMS AND EXPRESSIONS e@ UP A CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE Meaning “Up a creek without a paddle" means to be in a very difficult situation.

A PLACE FOR ALI. SEASONS One of the most popular U. S. wildlife parks is The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge* located on Maryland's Eastern shore, less than two hours from the Washington-Baltimore area. Of the 340 wildlife refuge parks in the United States, this is one of the most visited. It offers relief from the city's atmosphere. Fields and woods replace the city's concrete and steel, and animal sounds replace the noise of city traffic. At the visitor center, exhibits indicate the wildlife groups common to the refuge, and visitors often watch wildlife performances through large windows at the rear of the center. They can see geese** flying in the sky and gracefully landing upon the man-made lakes constructed for them.. The refuge has an abundance of all types of birds year round. This is because many of them move from place to place several times a year. From the center, visitors can teke either a driving tour or a walking tour through the refuge. If visitors choose not to take the tours, they can view the whole refuge from an observation tower. An enjoyable activity is a leisurely walk through sections of a mixed pine-hardwood forest where small animals, deer and birds happily work and play. Upon leaving the refuge, people are thankful that areas like these are preserved for the enjoyment of people and for the protection of animals. *refuge - a Shelter, home, or some kind of protection *#geese - waterfowls similar to swans and ducks 52 How many national wildlife refuges are there in the United States?
