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. [br] Which of the following is TRUE?
选项 A、A pain can only by physical harm.
B、Some people are complaining of a pain which does not exist.
C、A pain can be caused by psychogenic factors.
D、Educated people do not complain of nonexistent pain.
答案 C
解析 本题为细节分析题。根据第一段中的“…many forms of pain have no underlying physical cause butare the result，as mentioned earlier,of tension，stress，or hostile factors in the general environment．"可知，一些疼痛是由紧张、压力等心理原因引发的。因此，除了生理原因，还有心理原因。A和B选项与原文意思有出入，故排除。D选项文中并未提及，属无中生有。因此，C选项正确。
