Question

Based on information in the text answer the questions in your own words.

Answer

  1. Some people get so scared that their hair stands up. Others shout out and go away. (Does your hair stand on end? Do you scream and run away?)
  2. This phobia is unreasonable because very few spiders are actually dangerous to people (... arachnophobia is irrational ... fewer than 1% can harm humans.)
  3. People in the Amazon Rainforest and Cambodia see spiders as healthy food or a delicious snack. (... in the Amazon Rainforest ... grilled tarantula is a tasty and nutritious treat ... in Cambodia, deep-fried spider is a popular street snack.)
  4. Someone might try this type of therapy to overcome a fear because it affects their life a lot. (If fear of spiders badly affects someone's life, they should try 'exposure therapy.')
