问题     Patients tend to feel indignant and insulted if the physician tells them he can find no organic cause for the pain. They tend to interpret the term "psychogenic" to mean that they are complaining of nonexistent symptoms. They need to be educated about the fact that many forms of pain have no underlying physical cause but are the result, as mentioned earlier, of tension, stress or hostile factors in the general environment. Sometimes a pain may be a manifestation of "conversion hysteria".
    Obviously, it is folly for an individual to ignore symptoms that could be a warning of a potentially serious illness. Some people are so terrified of getting news from a doctor that they allow their malaise to worsen, sometimes past the point of no return. Total neglect is not the answer to hypochondria. The only answer has to be increased education about the way the human body works; so that more people be able to steer an intelligent course between promiscuous pill-popping and irresponsible disregard of genuine symptoms.
    Of all forms of pain, none is important for the individual to understand than the "threshold" variety. Almost everyone has a telltale ache that is triggered whenever tension or fatigue reaches a certain point. It can take the form of a migraine-type headache or a squeezing pain deep in the abdomen or cramps or a pain the lower back or even in the joints. The individual who has learned how to make the correlation between such threshold pains and their cause doesn’t panic when they occur; he or she does something about relieving the stress and tension. Then, if the pain persists despite the absence of apparent cause, the individual will telephone the doctor.
As soon as a person gets "threshold pains", he should______.
选项 A、telephone the doctor immediately
B、first relieve the stress and tension which cause the pains
C、wait to let the pains reach a certain point
D、take pain-killer
答案B
解析 本题为细节分析题。根据最后一段的内容可知，当人体出现这些临界点疼痛时，应该放松心情，以缓解疼痛。但是如果疼痛持续存在，就应该去咨询医生。据此可知，B选项正确。应该是采取B选项的措施无效之后，再进行A选项内容。C和D选项并未提及。
