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] According to the passage, the proper way towards a pain is______.
选项 A、taking different medicines
B、visiting famous physicians
C、paying no attention to it
D、none of the above
答案 D
解析 本题为细节分析题。根据文中第二段最后一句话“The only answer has to be increased educationabout the way the human body works；so that more people will be able to steer an intelligent course betweenpromiscuous pill popping and irresponsible disregard of genuine symptoms．”可知，对付这种疼痛的方式应该是不断教育人们，让他们知道这种疼痛出现的原因，这样可以避免他们乱吃药，或者忽视这种疼痛的征兆。A和C选项正是应该避免做的事情。B选项内容并未提及，属无中生有。因此，三个选项均不正确。所以，D选项正确。
