There are many different kinds of phobias, and they affect at least a quarter of the population.
But doctors believe that they may soon have a cure. They have discovered that a drug, which is
given to patients suffering from tuberculosis, can also help people to overcome their phobias..
The normal treatment for people with strong phobias is some kind of exposure therapy. The
most commonly used exposure therapy involves gradually exposing people to the object or situation
that produces the fear. For example, if you have a dentist phobia, you might first sit in the waiting
room of a dentist, then talk to the dentist, and then sit in the dentist's chair. These exposures are
combined with relaxation techniques.
However, exposure therapy does not work for everybody, and doctors think that the new drug,
which causes changes to a part of the brain that is used in learning and memory, could be used in the
future to make this therapy more effective. Michael Davis at Emory University School of Medicine
in Atlanta, Georgia did a study with 30 acrophobics - people who are scared of heights - and put
them in a glass elevator that appeared to go up and down. The people who were given the pill felt
much less afraid then those who took a placebo.

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 36 to 42.
Timothy Scott was leisurely leafing through a local newspaper when he saw a small advert
for a 'concrete reservoir for sale'. A few months later, along with his wife, Sarah, he is about to
become one of the few Brits who live below the earth. The couple, known locally as the moles', have
decided to go underground not just because they want one of the most unusual homes in Britain, but
for good ecological reasons too.
The first time the couple climbed down a dangerous old iron ladder to inspect the inside of
the reservoir, they expected to descend into metres of mud and water. Instead, they found a sweet-
smelling 10m by 20m space, 4m high. The massive concrete roof, and the earth above it, was
supported by eight large original brick pillars. ‘We knew immediately that it would make a
wonderful home,’ says Timethy. The couple have since used a special drill to cut three large square
holes in the roof, which will soon support three glass pyramids. These will be the main source of
light and heat for the house. Natural light will spread through glass walls to the three bedrooms, two
bathrooms and kitchen off the central area.
“We expect virtually no heating bills,” Timothy says. “The surrounding earth and the inside
of the walls should provide an ample storage area for the solar energy we gain through the pyramids
during the day. The light coming in through them should create interesting lighting effects in the
central living area - and reduce the need for artificial light. We estimate that this will cut our
electricity bills by at least a third.”.
Living underground, which is quite common in America, in parts of Spain and in China, has
many advantages for families. A considerable amount of money is saved on energy and maintenance
bills, and earth-sheltered homes are free from most forms of noise and have a low fire risk. What's
more, they are naturally protected from wind and draughts. Earth sheltering also provides greater
security and at the same time a building that will last a good 500 years. Building this way is also
compatible with the new conservationist methods. Society is going to have to look at energy usage,
and underground homes can be space-saving in a crowded country. To avoid living in 'shoe boxes'
and to keep agricultural land green, there is really only one way of building: underground.
However, according to Peter Carpentier, secretary of the British Earth Sheltering Association,
who lives in his own underground home, there are a few disadvantages. For instance, because there
are so few earth-sheltered homes in the UK, it is usually hard, although not impossible, to get
planning permission. When a lot of excavation is needed, building costs can be higher than for
conventional homes, although savings can be made in other ways.
