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?

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,
Trang 23C 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
D An affordable dark color that was only used by poor people
