【昨日回顾】

Behaviorists，in contrast，say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy.

相反，行为主义者认为，成绩的差异是由于黑人往往被剥夺了白人在教育及其它环境方面所享有的许多有利条件。

【参考译文】

The standardized educational or psychological tests that are widely used to aid in selecting，classifying，assigning，or promoting students，employees，and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books，magazines，the daily press，and even in Congress.

译文1：广泛应用于协助选拔、委派或提拔学生、雇员和军事人员的标准化教育测试或心理测试一直是某些人近年来在书本、杂志、日报，甚至国会中进行抨击的目标。

译文2：

标准化教育测试或心理测试广泛应用于协助选拔、委派或提拔学生、雇员和军事人员；这些测试一直是某些人近年来在书本、杂志、日报，甚至国会中进行抨击的目标。

【明日预告】

The tests themselves are merely tools，with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. The target is wrong，for in attacking the tests，critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.
