SUMMARIZING
DIRECTIONS: Choose the statement that best summarizes the following passages. Write the letter of your
answer on the space provided before each number.

______1. The attitudes of Americans toward gambling are amazingly contradictory. You may find, for
example, that horse racing is legal in your state, but that you cannot legally play poker for money on your
front porch; bookies may be prosecuted by state law, but they are supposed to purchase a federal license
nonetheless; one church condemns gambling, while another raises money by sponsoring Bingo games.

enforce.

______2. The fact that electronic computers are now used for data processing has led the general public to
believe that it is a mysterious, complicated science and that the computers are giant brains. Both of these

told to. If the input data are varied even a little, the computer is unable to operate until it is programmed to
accept the variations. The business operations it performs are impressive only because of the extremely high
speed of manipulation, but most of these operations have been used for decades. Unlike man, the computer
performs repetitive calculations without getting tired or bored.

______4. In earlier days those who had overseas business which they believed should be discussed
personally, took ship and set out across the briny deep. Once aboard they transacted their affairs, engaging in

telephone conversations quickly bring together in the most personal fashion people who are separated by
thousands of miles.
