Candidate Instructions – Online Reading Comprehension Test –
Short Version
You have been registered to take ALTA’s Online Reading Comprehension Test (Short Version).
This test is designed to assess your ability to understand what you read in a given language. The
evaluation is done online with pre-selected passages and questions.
Please read all of these instructions before beginning your evaluation.
Here are some important things to remember when taking the test:
ALTA’s Reading Comprehension Test (Short Version) consist of 2 reading selections
with a total of 10 multiple choice questions.
You will have 30 minutes to complete the test. A timer in the corner of the screen will
inform you how much time you have remaining, and you will be given a warning five
minutes before the end of your test.
It is important to take the test in a quiet area where you can concentrate fully on what
you are reading.
The questions target different areas of reading comprehension, and while you may be
able to answer some questions by skimming the passage, other questions require
reading for a high level of detail. In most cases, the answer to the question does not use
wording directly from the passage. Many questions require you to look for an implied
detail, or to draw a conclusion based on the ideas presented in the text.
Each question has only one correct response. The correct answer to each question is
contained in the text only. Do not refer to other knowledge that you may have about the
subject.
You are able to move backward and forward through the test, if you choose. That is, if
you skip a question, you will be able to come back to it later.
You may not use reference materials of any kind on this test (dictionaries,
electronic devices, external websites, etc.)
Once you have started your test, you may not stop it, start over, or take the test again.
It is important that you complete your scheduled test in one sitting. If you close your
browser window or otherwise log out of a test before you have completed the test, you
will not be able to log back in to finish.

A sticker on Colgate toothbrush packages warns consumers: “Got a cold? Change your
toothbrush.” According to the company’s website, “germs can hide in toothbrush bristles and lead
to reinfection.” Competitor Arm & Hammer offers the same warning that toothbrushes should be
replaced “anytime you’ve had a cold or have been ill, since germs may be lurking among the
bristles.” Can a person really re-catch a cold from a toothbrush?
No, unless it’s someone else's toothbrush (or someone else’s cold). Much like the admonition
from shampoo companies to “lather, rinse, repeat,” the idea that a toothbrush must be replaced
seems designed to sell more product. Once you’ve been infected with a particular strain of a virus,
you develop antibodies that make the likelihood of re-infection very low. Even if the virus were still
hanging out on your toothbrush after you recovered—colds and flus can survive there for
anywhere from a few hours to three days—those antibodies should keep you from contracting the
same illness twice. Your toothbrush is no more dangerous while you’re still sick, since the viral
load on the bristles is negligible compared with what’s already in your system.
It is possible to re-infect yourself with bacteria, however. If you were afflicted with strep throat, for
example, a colony of bacteria might end up on your toothbrush and remain there long enough to
give you a second case after you’d taken a course of penicillin. But that threat might be mitigated
by toothpaste, which sometimes contains antibacterial compounds. And, despite the claims of
toothbrush manufacturers, this wouldn’t apply to a typical case of the (viral) sniffles.
a. consumers concerned about the price of toothbrushes
b. consumers who are severely affected by strep throat
c. consumers concerned about germs being spread via toothbrush
d. consumers who did not know that germs could be spread via toothbrush
companies?
a. Their products contain antibacterial compounds.
b. They are owned by several of the same corporations.
c. They give directions that result in more sales of their products.
d. They are concerned with how their products could cause infection.
a. by using a toothbrush for more than 3 months
