问题     The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’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(折磨)is based on the human body being open to pain.
    But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(苦行僧)who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs 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 withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the paia By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation(感觉), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.
When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that______.

选项 A、fakirs possess magic power
B、Indians are not afraid of pain
C、people can learn to cope with pain
D、some people are born without a sense of pain

答案C

解析 推理题。本题实际是在问第二段中Indian fakir这个例子的作用。考生需牢记例子的作用不是用来说明例子本身,而是用以支持前后的定论性话语。因此,可以很容易排除掉A)、B)两个选项。根据第二段的最后一句可以看出,作者举例的目的是想说明人们如何对待痛苦。
