Cambridge University closed down in the summer of 1665 when the plague broke out. New ton, a student there, went home to Lincolnshire. He stayed home for two years while the disease ran its course in the area around London.

[单项选择]Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
The sight of eight long black legs moving over the floor makes some people scream and run—and women are four times more likely to take fright than men. Now a study suggests that females are genetically prone to develop fears for potentially dangerous animals.
