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(減少) 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 (適應(yīng)) . 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 (潛在的)problems. "That's the way for other pain," Butler says. "Being free of symptoms( 癥狀)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.

Answer the questions. (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問(wèn)題)：

Hey! The people of the earth. Can you hear this radio message? Do not be afraid! We come in peace from another planet— and why not? We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. We have been here before.

You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太陽(yáng)系) almost as fast as this radio message. Your sun is already in sight. Our ancestors (祖先) and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.

Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save the beasts. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.

They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.

For millions of summers — there were no winters in those ancient days — the Earth had rapid (飛速的) development. It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space. But they never felt lonely. They kept in touch with their relatives and friends on other planets. Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.

But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. Those who had called the Earth their home believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.

1.The message was from the people of the earth, wasn’t it?

2.How soon will the people on the earth see a huge spaceship?

3.Why did the speaker’s ancestors seldom travel in space?

4.How did the speaker’s ancestors keep in touch with their relatives and friends?

5.What happened to the earth two million years ago?

6.How will you feel after you hear the radio message? Why?

Choose the best answer（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢�，用A、B、C、D等表示）

For years, I fought with the “birds nest” on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didnt agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop” (拖把).

When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.

But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.

“Do you really think this will work?” I asked.

“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just havent found a way to work with it. That’s all.”

After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful.

Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I’m looking better than ever but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them My hair speaks for itself.
