Test 6 Passage 2
You should not fear spiders because of their poison. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it cannot see the person in its way. The spider is too shortsighted to see things at a distance. It only wants to go where it will not be disturbed. In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow. So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love. The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of rowans or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed.
15. What is this passage mainly about?
A) How to handle spiders.
B) Spiders in the United States.
C) People's fear of spiders.
D) A special kind of spider.

Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too
expensive for most people. If you’re invited to a yuppie dinner party, don’t be surprised
if you’re offered freshly-cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fired
insects fills most of us with horror, insect-eating is becoming highly fashionable. For
example, in the media industry, successful executives are often seen to eat fried or
boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks. These safe-to-eat insects
can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young people are logging on to exotic
food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties.
Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people
would claim that pigs, chickens, and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of
great beauty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as food item in supermarkets.
According to their fans, they are not only high in protein and low in fat, but also very
tasty. But until our attitudes to food change

[C] It will have to be changed to suit local tastes.
[D] It is unlikely to be enjoyed by most people.
