Read the passage.

Computers have gotten much smaller and more useful over time. The first computer was very different from the computers we use today. First of all, it was much larger—the size of a whole room—and it did only mathematical computations. Some people like to do math in their heads. A computer correctly predicted that Eisenhower would win the 1952 election, even when opinion polls predicted a landslide victory for the other candidate. Computer usefulness grew to the point that Time magazine selected the computer as “Man of the Year” in 1982—although the author of the article wrote his piece on a typewriter.

What is the main idea?

• Computers have gotten much smaller and more useful over time.

• Computers have now been replaced by cellphones.

• Computers can only do math problems.

• Computers have become human, as they were in Time magazine.

Being a clown isn't all fun and games. Rodeo clowns expose themselves to great danger every time they perform. When cowboys dismount or are bucked off of bulls at riding competitions, rodeo clowns jump in front of the bulls and motion wildly to get their attention. In this way rodeo clowns provide an alternate target, and in doing so protect the rider. So you see, sometimes clowning around can be serious business.

Find the central idea of this passage.

• Being a clown isn't all fun and games.

• Rodeo clowns protect cowboys by putting themselves in danger.

• Rodeos are exciting.

• Clowns are good at riding bulls.
