A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 A Rene Descartes explanation of pain has long been acknowledged in medicine He proposed that pain is a purely physical phenomenon that tissue injury makes specific nerves send a signal to the brain causing the mind to notice pain The phenomenon he said is like pulling on a rope to ring a bell in the brain It is hard to overstate how deeply fixed this account has become In medicine doctors see pain in Descartes terms as a physical process a sign of tissue injury The limitations of this explanation however have been apparent for some time since people with obvious injuries sometimes report feeling no pain at all Later researchers proposed that Descartes model be replaced with what they called the gate control theory of pain They argued that before pain signals reach the brain they must first go through a gating mechanism in the spinal cord 脊髓 In some cases this imaginary gate could simply stop pain signals from getting to the brain Their most amazingamazing suggestion was that what controlled the gate were not just signals from sensory nerves but also emotions and other output from the brain They were saying that pulling on the rope may not necessarily make the bell ring The bell itself the mind could stop it This theory led to a great deal of research into how such factors as mood gender and beliefs influence the experience of pain In a British study for example researchers measured pain threshold and tolerance levels in 53 ballet dancers and 53 university students by using a common measurement after putting your hand in body temperature water for two minutes to establish a baseline condition you put your hand in a bowl of ice water and start a clock running You mark the time when it begins to hurt that is your pain threshold Then you mark the time when it hurts too much to keep your hand in the water that is your pain tolerance The test is always stopped at 120 seconds to prevent injury The results were striking On average female students reported pain at 16 seconds and pulled their hands out of the ice water at 37 seconds Female dancers were almost three times as long on both counts Men in both groups had a higher threshold and tolerance for pain but the difference between male dancers and male non dancers was nearly as large What explains that difference Probably it has something to do with the psychology of ballet dancers a group known for self discipline physical fitness and competitiveness as well as by a high rate of chronic 慢性 injury Their driven personalities and competitive culture evidently accustom them to pain Other studies along these lines have shown that outgoing people have greater pain tolerance and that with training one can reduce one s sensitivity to pain There is also striking evidence that very simple kinds of mental suggestion 5 can have powerful effects on pain In one study of 500 patients undergoing dental procedures those who were given a placebo injection 安慰剂 and promised that it would relieve their pain had the least discomfort not only less than the patients who got a placebo and were told nothing but also less than the patients who got actual drug without any promise that it would work Today it is abundantly evident that the brain is actively involved in the experience of pain and is no more bells on a string Today every medical textbook teaches the gate control theory as fact There s a problem with it though It explains people who have injuries but feel no pain but it doesn t explain the reverse which is far more common the millions of people who experience chronic pain such as back pain with no signs of injury whatsoever So where does the pain come from The rope and clapper are gone but the bell is still ringing 41 The primary purpose of the passage is to A describe a modern theory about pain B support a traditional view on pain with new data C promote a particular attitude towards pain D suggest a creative treatment for pain 42 Which statement best describes Descartes theory of pain presented in paragraph 1 A The brain can shut pain off at will B The brain plays no part in the body s experience of pain C Pain can be caused in many different ways D Pain is an automatic response to bodily injury 43 The author implies that the reason why the gate control was amazing was that it A offered an extremely new and original explanation B was just opposite to people s everyday experiences C was grounded in a ridiculous logic D was so sensible that it should have been proposed centuries before 44 The author refers to chronic back pain as an example of something that is A costly because it troubles millions of people B puzzling because it sometimes has no obvious cause C disappointing because it does not improve with treatment D worrying because it lies beyond the reach of medicine 45 From the passage we know that A all the theories about pain are not correct B some data from the researches on pain is wrong C there has been no perfect theory about pain so far D one s mood can t affect the pain one feels B B USED CAR DEPT Corner of Gutierrez and Anacapa 6 SPRING CLOSE OUT SALE 80 EL DORADO COUPE 275 PFL 14 995 A real beauty see this

Winfrey I ve never watched her show but when a self made billionaire gives life advice it s probably worth listening to Her point is that blind luck is very rare You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you If you re a Chinese you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to run out and break its neck A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman called The Luck Factor argues we can all make ourselves luckier It s not about going to a temple to burn some incense 香 in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune it s practical advice you can follow each day Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies First he divided volunteers into two groups those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside On average the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds Why On the second page of the newspaper a command Stop counting There are 43 photographs in this newspaper was written in big letters The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message It s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity People who are lucky in fact keep an open mind and don t go through the same routine every day I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do Like many foreigners my plan was to teach English for one year Seven years later and still here I ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines I did not dream these would have been possible I ve also never been sick had an accident got into a fight or had problems with the police Coincidence After reading about Professor Wiseman s studies I 8 think not As Wiseman advises I usually trust my own judgment Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking but it s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem Finally try to turn bad luck into good Even if you do fall down and break a leg the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English 50 Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writer s point A Make the best of a bad job B Rome was not built in a day C All is not gold that glitters D A good heart conquers ill fortune 51 What do you know about Oprah Winfrey A She became famous through her family background B She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life C She is a British talk show host D She became successful by her own effort 52 The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show A luck is in your own hand B bad luck can turn into good C one shouldn t rely on blind luck D man can conquer nature 53 From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that A lucky people are quick mindedB unlucky people are slow to read C lucky people often have an open mind D unlucky people are more creative 54 From the passage we can learn that A in many foreigners eyes to teach English in China was believed to be something strange in 2002 B those who believe in blind luck never go to temples to burn some incense in hope of good luck C based on rational thinking the advice of your friends usually warns you of a potential problem D The Luck Factor argues lucky people are more likely to go through the same routine every day D Pappy was a keeper of a pawnshop 当铺 One day he was working cheerfully fixing an old railroad lantern in the backroom when he heard the tinkling 叮当 声 of his bell on the shop door The bell which produced a uniquely charming sound had been in Pappy s family for over a hundred years He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door Pappy had tied a wire to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not Hearing the bell he left the backroom to greet his customer And how can I help you little lady Pappy s voice was joyful Hello sir The little girl spoke almost in a whisper She was elegant shy and naive She looked at Pappy with her big brown eyes and then slowly scanned the room in search of something special Shyly she told him I d like to buy a present sir 9 Well let s see Pappy said who is this present for My grandpa It s for my grandpa But I don t know what to get Pappy began to make suggestions How about a pocket
