As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: "I’m only a 1050. "The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1100 or 1550, has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their serf-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a s
A. scores in the SAT
B. achievements in mathematics
C. job opportunities
D. money spent on education

A university professor recently made several experiments with different animals to find out which was the most intelligent. He found out that the monkey was more intelligent than other animals.
In one experiment the professor put a monkey in a room where there were several small boxes. Some boxes were inside other boxes. One small box had some food inside of it. The professor wanted to watch the monkey and to find out how long it would take the monkey to find the food. The professor left the room. He waited a few minutes outside the door. Then he knelt down and put his eye to the keyhole. What did he see To his surprise he found himself looking directly into the eye of the monkey. The monkey was looking at the professor through the other side of the door.
