Relieving the Pain

"Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain,"say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain.
"People with chronic pain need to stop lying around,go out more,and start exercising."The instinctive reac-
tion to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain.But it seems that this is often not
productive,especially in the case of back pain.Back pain,after headaches and tiredness,has become the
third most common reason for people to visit their doctors.Painful backs now account for millions of days off
work.
Lumbar（腰部的）pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground , but
they are made worse by a sedentary（久坐不动的）lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility
and strength of muscles,so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain.Exercise is essential.
It releases endorphins（内啡肤）,the body's " feel-good " chemicals , which are natural painkillers. In fact,
these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of en-
dorphins in the body.
Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than
exercise.Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy,doctors frequently do not know the precise cause
of the discomfort,and as the pain continues,sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different
drugs."It's crazy,"says Dr. Brasseur,a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain.
"Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors.I've just seen a patient who was tak-
ing two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided.Once patients
have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up,their medication is cut down as much as pos-
sible.Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
In some pain-relief clinics,patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises,fol-
lowed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day , they practice tai chi（太极）,self-defense , and deep
thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy（理疗）a week in a traditional
hospital program."The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy,flexibility,and confidence,"
explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool."Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work
and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."

Backache sufferers often end up taking more than one drug to kill pain.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

参考解析
解析：短文第一段第二句说到有慢性病的人不应总躺着，要多出去走走，要开始运动。因此 该判断错误。
短文第一段倒数第二句只说了人们经常因头痛去医院，但没有提到引起头痛的原因。
短文第二段第二句说到缺乏锻炼使人们有疼痛的压力，相反，锻炼能减轻人们的疼痛。
短文第二段最后一句提到医生正在寻找一种含有咖啡肤的药，而不是给病人们用这 种药。
短文第三段第二句中的“taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs"，与“taking more than one drug”相对应。
短文中并没有提到传统的治疗（traditional treatment)，故选C。
短文第四段提到新的诊所提议尽量避免用药或尽量少用药而没有要求病人完全不 用药。

考题 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 aajust 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 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 hurts a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensafion, and sensations are the stuff of life. [共5题]1.The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to ________.A.stay relaxedB.avoid painC.stand tortureD.feel pain2.What does the writer mean by saying “we pay for our sensitivity” in Para.1?A.We have to take care of our sense of pain.B.We suffer from our sense of feeling.C.We should try hard to resist pain.D.We are hurt when we feel pain.3.When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that ________.A.fakirs possess magic powerB.Indians are not afraid of painC.people can learn to cope with painD.some people are born without a sense of pain4.What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A.Their relaxation.B.Their interest.C.Their nerves.D.Their attitude.5.The author believes that ________.A.feeling pain is part of our lifeB.pain should be avoided at all costsC.feeling pain can be an interesting thingD.magic power is essential for reducing pain

考题 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"— a shot of novocaine (奴佛卡因) -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 of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves—and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves— 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 is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(行僧) who sits on a bed of nails.

考题 共用题干 Acupuncture一Old Chinese MedicineFor more than 4,000 years people in Asia have used acupuncture to treat illnesses.________ (46)Today acupuncture is also very popular in Europe,America and Australia.Acupuncture can control pain and sickness.It can also be used if you have a headache or back pain.Some doctors use acupuncture along with regular treatments for asthma,high blood pressure or stress.________(47)Some people think that acupuncture can treat depression and even help people to stop smoking. Many patients feel more energy after a treatment,while others may feel more relaxed.People who practice acupuncture must take courses to learn how to do it correctly._________(48)During treatment the patient lies down and needles are stuck into certain points of the body. There are hundreds of possible points and each one has a certain effect on the body._________(49) For example you stick a needle into the hand to treat problems with your stomach.Acupuncture needles are made of metal and about as thick as a human hair. They normally go less than one cm into the skin.When they are in the skin the acupuncturist may twist them or send electricity through them.The patients rest for a short time and then the needles are removed.Acupuncture normally doesn't hurt. There is also a milder form of acupuncture called acupressure where you don't need needles.Doctors use their fingers to press the points of the body.Chinese medicine teaches us that all acupuncture points are located along pathways called meridians.Each of these meridians carries energy,which the Chinese call "qi" to certain points of the body.If this "qi" gets blocked from an area the person will get sick or feel pain.Sticking needles into the correct points can help "qi" flow again and make the person well.Doctors today are not sure how acupuncture really works.They have not found any proof that these pathways of energy really exist.Some think that needles cause the body to produce pain killing substances.________(50)Some also say that acupuncture only works because patients believe in it._________（50）A:In many places,especially outside of Asia,only doctors are allowed to perform acupuncture.B:The earliest written record of acupuncture is found in the Huangdi Neijing.C:Doctors have even used acupuncture to stop pain during an operation.D:The points can also be very far away from the place of pain.E:Others think that the needles block pain signals that travel along the nerves to the brain.F: It is an old Chinese form of healing in which your skin is pierced with thin needles to relieve pain.
