问题     A moment’s drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the needle that deadens the nerves around the tooth.
    Now it’s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves and our brain, we wouldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture(酷刑) is based on the human body being open to pain.
    But there is a way to handle pain. Some Indian monks can sit on a bed of nails. Fakirs (苦行僧) can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
    The big thing in standing pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says this will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation(感觉), we can handle the pain calmly. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.
Which of the following is TRUE?

选项 A、The nerves play an important part in feeling pain.
B、We can only feel pain when badly wounded.
C、The dentists can do nothing to the pain.
D、Everyone should try his best to avoid pain.

答案A

解析 根据第二段前三句“Now it’s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves.…Without our nerves and our brain, we wouldn’t know what’s happening. ”可知,神经在感知疼痛方面发挥了重要的作用,A项正确。根据第二段倒数第二句“We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. ”可知,当我们身体的任何部分出现了最细微的差错时,我们都会感到疼痛,B项错误;根据第一段最后一句“To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the needle that deadens the nerves around the tooth. ”可知,可以通过注射药物来避免疼痛,C项错误;D项在文中没有提及。故选A。
