PHOBIAS CONTROL THE EYES
People with an overpowering fear of something may not be able to consciously control the direction of
their gaze when faced with a picture that provokes that fear Those with a fear of spiders, or
arachnophobia, may not be able to avoid looking toward a spider in the grass, while those without the fear
can To reach this finding, 26 college students - half of whom had arachnophobia - were outfitted with a
device that tracks eye movements The participants were then shown a four-by-four grid of flowers on a
computer screen, where a picture of a grey-brown spider and a grey-brown mushroom each occupied one
space on the grid
In one trial, the students were asked to press the spacebar when they spotted a mushroom, but to ignore
any spiders In a second, the students were asked to press the key when they saw the spider, but to avoid
looking at mushrooms When instructed to ignore the spider and spot the mushroom, the students with
arachnophobia could not avoid looking at the spider - causing them to notice the mushroom three-tenths
of a second more slowly than the control group Additionally, when the students were asked to search for
the spider, the arachnophobic students found the spider and pressed the space bar about three-tenths of a
second more quickly than the non-phobic students
These findings show that the attention processes of people with a powerful fear of spiders may be beyond
their conscious control This suggests that treatments that focus on conscious thought processes may not
work for such phobias Instead, therapists could focus on treatments such as systematic desensitization
36: What can we infer that the word phobia means?

C a scientific experiment D the name of a flower

B People with phobias can’t help looking at things they are afraid of
C People with arachnophobia always look at spiders first

38: Why was the device to track eye movement needed?
A to make sure the students were looking at the computer screen
B to move the spider’s location around
C to verify where the students were looking
D to make the students look only in one place
39: What was the function of the spacebar?

The Origin of Jeans
In 1853, the California gold rush was in full swing and everyday items were in short supply Levi Strauss,
a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with
the intention of opening a branch of his brother’s New York dry goods business Shortly after his arrival,
a prospector wanted to know what Mr Strauss was selling When Strauss told him he had rough canvas
cloth to use for tents and wagon covers, the prospector said, ―You should have brought trousers!‖,
because he couldn’t find a pair of trousers strong enough to last
Levi Strauss had the canvas made into work trousers Miners liked the trousers, but complained that the
fabric was not very comfortable and tended to chafe Levi Strauss substituted the canvas with a twilled
cotton cloth from France called ―serge de Nimes.‖ The fabric later became known as denim and the
trousers were nicknamed blue jeans Then Levi Strauss and Nevada tailor David Jacobs co-patented the
process of putting small metal rivets in places such as the sides of the pockets that needed extra strength
On May 20, 1873, they received U.S Patent No 139.121 This date is now considered the official birthday
of ―blue jeans‖
But why were they called blue jeans? Denim is unique in its singular connection with one color It is
made from thread that is traditionally dyed with the blue pigment obtained from indigo dye Indigo was
linked with practical fabrics and work clothing The durability of indigo as a color and its darkness of
tone made it a good choice when frequent washing was not possible
61: What is the purpose to this text?

A He was a clothes designer B He was a prospector
C He was selling textiles and clothing D He was selling tools for gold mining
63: What problem did the prospectors have?

A the name of a French fabric B the indigo color
C David Jacobs, the tailor, thought of it D Levi Strauss invented it
65: Which best describes indigo dye?

B A color used on all kinds of fabric to make the fabric stronger
