READING COMPREHENSION TEST

Fear of flying

Have you ever flown? How do you feel about flying?

People who often travel for business usually find it boring. People who fly only once in a while are excited. However, some people feel only terror when they board an airplane. They suffer from phobia, an illogical fear.

If you are afraid of poisonous spiders, it is logical. If you are afraid of all spiders, even harmless ones, this is a phobia because it is illogical. Some people have phobias about heights, being shut up in a small area, or being in a large, open area. It is not logical to be afraid of these things when there is no danger.

Fear of flying is another phobia. We often have a plane crash in mind, but we don�t think about millions of safe flights. Riding in a car is 30 times more dangerous than flying, but most people are not afraid when they get into a car.

People feel afraid of flying for different reasons. Sometimes, they are afraid of heights and they don�t dare to look out of the windows if they are in a high-rise building. Some people might be afraid of being in enclosed places like an elevator or in tunnel on a highway. There are people who are afraid of crowds and all the noise and people rushing around at airports. This specially bothers older people. Some people are afraid of the unknown and they do not understand the technology of flying. They can�t believe that a huge airplane can stay in the air.

For some people fear of flying is not important because they do not need to travel. But there are people who work for international companies, or entertainers who have to visit many different places in a month. Their job depends on flying.

There is help for people with fear of flying. There are special classes in which they can learn to control their fear. They spend some time at an airport with special instructors, pilots, psychologists. They talk about flying and safety, they can hear different noises made by an airplane and listen to tape recordings of a takeoff and landing� Finally they are ready for a short flight. Some of them still have their phobia, but they know how to control their fear. Some of them even learn to enjoy flying.
