戴尔美语练功坊全民英检阅读测验(9/23) 下面一篇阅读测验，大约在英检中级程度，同学可试做看看， 了解自己的实力。 Dentists think that women can put up with more pain than men. Michael is a dentist and he says, "Women are more aware of what pain is than a man." Men do not seem to expect any pain and are surprised when the drilling hurts. Pain researchers think that men don't prepare for pain. A dental patient says, "I think men just try to fight the pain head-on." There is the pain only a mother can know. Stephanie says, "I thought to myself when I had a child, my husband could never go through this." Bruce was working out at the gym when he said, "I think it is a big cover-up; men grunt and groan and scream at a gym more than women do. Women are much more stoic." Some people wonder how pain tolerance is figured out. One weight lifter said, "How do you measure how much you do show as compared to someone else? I think we need a pain-o-meter before we can do this really right." How about for those who have lived through years of pain? John says, "I think women endure pain better than men do but complain more often about it." Park says his wife complained to him for years about her stomach problems. What about her ability to cope with pain? He says, "She can take it. I don't know how she can take it. When she goes to the dentist, she feels nothing." In the end, we all have to grin and bear it. 1. What is the title for this report? (A) Seeing a Dentist (B) Putting Up with Pain (C) Measuring Pain (D) Fighting Pain 2.
