25、What's your pain telling you?

Is that pain you feel in your back, neck or shoulders just a short ache from your new exercise menu? Or is there something deeper and more serious at work? Either way, you decide not to pay attention to it.

"Pain is a warning system; it tells us that something is wrong," says Bradford Butler, a doctor. "Continual pain goes further. It is telling you that a whole system in your body isn't working right. "

For many people and their doctors, the first reaction for pain, and sometimes the second and third reactions as well, is to take some painkillers and go on your way.

"That doesn't solve the problem, " Butler says. "Too often, with back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain or other continual pain, many doctors focus on reducing(减少) the pain rather than finding out the cause. "

Imagine this，you wake up midnight with an unbearable toothache，and then visit a doctor who discovers a huge cavity(空洞)but, instead of repairing the cavity, just gives you some powerful medicine for the pain and sends you home.“Left untreated，the pain would get worse and the damage to the tooth would worsen，leading to bigger and more expensive medical process later on，”Butler says.

Butler offers some advice for those whose bodies are trying to warn them that something is wrong

Choose your doctor wisely. Blind faith (信任) in any doctor is not the answer. Butler says, " Doctors have their own specialty and make sure you find someone who will really help you with your problem. "

Don't let your body resetting its pain level fool you. What happens when you let the pain go? Your body adapts (适应) . Butler says, "When your body gets used to the pain, you think the problem must be gone. While in reality, your body's pain setting has been raised. The only time you're feeling pain is when you're already in terrible poor condition. "

Think of prevention. Dental (牙科的) patients are encouraged to have regular check-ups, whether they're in pain or not, so the doctor can work on potential (潜在的)problems. "That's the way for other pain," Butler says. "Being free of symptoms( 症状)doesn't mean you don't have big problems. It just means that you don't know they're developing. "

" We need to listen to our pain and fix whatever is wrong as soon as possible, " Butler says. " You won't get better until you find the cause of the problem. "

【1】Bradford Butler probably believes that   .

A.reducing the pain is the most important

B.finding out the cause of pain is too easy

C.taking some painkillers can solve the problems

D.continual pain warns you that something is seriously wrong

【2】In Paragraph 5 , the writer wants to tell us   .

A.medical process is not cheap B.getting fully treated is necessary

C.repairing the cavity is very difficult D.powerful medicine is the best solution

【3】What can we know from the passage?

A.Staying in terrible condition makes us fool.

B.Having regular check-ups is only for dental patients.

C.Finding the cause of the pain will make us healthier.

D.Choosing a wise doctor is important from beginning to end.

27、   It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion(激情) is to life.

That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the library. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my attention. It was a man dressed in rags(破旧衣服).He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.

But in some way he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he's homeless？” I asked.

“He bought it,” she answered. I was still confused.

“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must care enough about music, so he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to expect. A passion gives a person the feeling of happiness they need to keep going.

Since then I've never spent a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal，clothes—these things are not the only things that make up our lives. What's often forgotten is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.

【1】Where did Sarah see the homeless man?

A.At the library. B.At a red light.

C.At a music hall. D.At a radio station.

【2】What was the man doing when Sarah saw him?

A.He was eating some food. B.He was buying a radio.

C.He was sitting down sadly. D.He was dancing to the music.

【3】The underlined word “precious” in the passage means “________”．

A.loved and important B.old and cheap

C.loved but unimportant D.expensive but unnecessary

【4】What the homeless man did made Sarah ________ at first.

A.bored B.crazy C.confused D.interested

【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.In general，homeless people like music very much.

B.Homeless people can also afford a radio.

C.We should care about music rather than food or clothes.

D.A passion for something can make a person live happily.

Peter lost his friend’s book, He felt very sad. Kate broke her mom’s favorite cup   【1】  She was so sorry for her mistake.

We all make mistake because we’re human .And it’s not always easy to get on well with everyone all the time. Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings although we don’t do it on purpose. Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings on purpose  【2】 So we apologize （道歉）.
