III. Reading
Brown bears are found in Alaska and Western Canada. They are first cousins of the grizzly,
each belonging to the species Ursus arctos. The chief difference in them is size, as brown
bears on the average are slightly larger. A full-grown male may weight 1,500 pounds and
stand 9 to 10 feet tall. Like bears everywhere they are creatures of habit that tread the same
trails year after year. Brown bears have three gaits: an even, deliberate one that takes them
over rough or boggy ground at a steady clip; a quick shuffle; and a fast gallop. They are not
only surprisingly fast, but also, for such huge beasts, amazingly agile. They can charge up and
climb down nearly vertical inclines. Fishing the streams in summer, they pounce on
swift-moving salmon and snatch them with almost simultaneous movements of their paws and
mouths. Brown bears are excellent swimmers and love to loll and wallow in the water on
warm days. They are also curious and playful. Most manifest a fear of humans, buy Alaskans
prefer not to test these creatures and usually carry noisemakers of some kind of warn the bears
of their presence.

Traditionally, mental tests have been divided into two types. Achievement tests are
designed to measure acquired skills and knowledge, particularly those that have been
explicitly taught. The proficiency exams required by some states for high school graduation
are achievement tests. Aptitude tests are designed to measure a person’s ability to acquire new
skills or knowledge. For example, vocational aptitude tests can help you decide whether you
would do better as a mechanic or musician. However, all mental tests are in some senses
achievement tests because they assume some sort of past learning or experience with certain
objects, words, or situations. The difference between achievement and aptitude tests is one of
degree and intended use.
