The latest reform in testing is the computerized test．Test questions and answer choices are presented on the 1 and students can answer with a tap of the keyboard or a click of the mouse．Before the actual test begins, there usually is an instruction showing how to use the computer to 2 the questions．Scores are displayed on the screen at the end of the test so that a student has immediate feedback 3 having to return several days later for results．
Some computerized tests are “adaptive”．This means that a test question is selected from a large pool of items based on how the test taker has responded to the 4 question．The first question presented is of medium difficulty．If the test taker answers 5 , the next item will be more difficult．If he or she answers incorrectly, the next question will be easier．The computer 6 questions by level of difficulty and many other factors, such as sex, race and age references, subject area the question is drawn from, and form of question, before presenting it on the screen．In this way, the questions are “adapted” to find the true skill 7 of the test taker．
Among all the conveniences of computerized testing, there are some 8 ．No longer can you have a quick look at the 9 test, answer the easy questions first, and come back later to finish the difficult ones．Test items are presented one at a time, and you must choose an answer in order to move on to the next question．On adaptive tests, once you have confirmed your answer, you cannot go back to 10 it if, later on, you realize that your answer was wrong．
It is important for you to learn some knowledge about first aid in your 1 life．If a person has an 2 , he needs medical care 3 a doctor can be found．When you give first aid, you must pay attention to 4 things．First, when a person stops 5 , open his/her mouth．Second, if a person cannot breathe, do your best to 6 his/her breathing at once, using a mouth-to-mouth way．Third, if a person is 7 badly, try at once to stop the 8 ．Then take him/her to a doctor．If a person loses one third of his/her blood, he/she 9 die．
Many accidents may 10 at home．All 11 should know first aid in order to deal with 12 injuries which may happen to their children．When a person is 13 by an animal, wash the wound with cold running water before he/she is taken to see a doctor．When a person is 14 , wash and cool the area of the skin under the cold tap for a while．Then put a piece of dry clean cloth over the burn．If the person is badly burnt, take him/her to the doctor．If a person 15 his/her finger, clean it and put a piece of paper round the cut．If a pan of oil 16 fire, 17 the gas first, and then cover the pan quickly．You cannot take it away before the fire is 18 ．
Besides, you must put 19 wires in safe places where children cannot 20 them．Serious accidents may happen if you touch them．Children must be told of the danger．Everybody should know some first aid in order to save ot her people's lives．

Dolphins are social animals．Many of them even 3 around humans．In addition to being playful; they are helpful to men．For example 4 400 B．C．the Great poet Arion was saved from 5 by a dolphin．From then until now, dolphins have been helping swimmers, 6 in trouble．Swimmers, however, are not 7 humans they help．In some parts of the world, they help men 8 fish．
Dolphins are very clever．Its brain is even larger than a human's．Therefore, some people think a dolphin 9 smarter than a man, but 10 , brain size is not the only measure of cleverness．Besides, measuring dolphin's cleverness in other ways is not possible 11 men cannot talk with them．But we can almost 12 that dolphins can talk with each other．They make different 13 which seem to be at least a form of language．Up to now men 14 able to find out how dolphins are talking．So no one really knows what they are thinking．If we could talk with them, perhaps they could teach us to be 15 they seem to be．
