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. 
Question 36. What can we infer that the word phobia means? 
A. a new type of spider B. a fear of something 
C. a scientific experiment D. the name of a flower 
Question 37. 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

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50 
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and 
prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its 
construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile river is 
a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the 
burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid 
are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient 
Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based 
on astronomical observations. 
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further 
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and future. Many of 
the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied 
for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural 
powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of 
ancient past. Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any 
known today?

A. Observation of the celestial bodies B. Advanced technology

A. there are cracks in the foundation B. The lines represent important events 
C. Tomb robbers have stolen the Pharaoh’s body D. A superior race of people built in 
Question 45. Extraterrestrial beings are___. 
A. living beings from other planets B. astronomers in the ancient times 
C. researchers in Egyptology D. very strong workers 
Question 46. What was the most probable reason for providing so many hidden passages ? 
A. To allow the weight of the pyramid to settle evenly 
B. To permit the high priests to pray at night 
C. To enable the Pharaoh‟s family to bring food for his journey to the afterlife 
D. To keep grave robbers from finding the tomb and the treasure buried with the pharaoh
