indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45. 
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? 
A. a new type of spider B. a fear of something

D. Phobias affect eyesight. 
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? 
A. to give the students something to do 
B. to give the students place to rest their thumbs 
C. to allow the students to put spaces between words

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.

A. There were no trousers in California. B. They did not like Levi’s product,

C. Their clothes were not stylish. D. Their clothes wore out quickly. 
64: Where did the word ―denim‖ come from? 
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? 
A. A long lasting, practical color that did not show dirt. 
B. A color used on all kinds of fabric to make the fabric stronger. 
C. A very rare and desirable color that was difficult to create.
