The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a

pain.

To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the "needle"— a shot of novocaine (奴佛卡因) -that deadens the nerves around the tooth.

Now it' s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves—and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves— we wouldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.

But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain; This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.

The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed,' and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we' can handle the pain without falling apart. After all; although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.

One important 【B3】______ of a good conversation is that the words are 【B4】______ used to express thoughts and feelings. We are 【B5】______ deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not 【B6】______ for this expression, and many 【B7】______ little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that 【B8】______ you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film？” “Oh, my God, it was so sad, I swear. I went through 【B9】______ a box of tissues (面巾纸). I was in tears.” This dialogue is 【B10】______ an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no 【B11】______ of how or why the movie truly 【B12】______ you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only 【B13】______ try to avoid overused words, you must 【B14】______ be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the 【B15】______ or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.

What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A 【B16】______ person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations. There are a thousand questions 【B17】______ to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange. Good conversations should not be 【B18】______ nonsense, but of a meeting of two 【B19】______ the human condition. It should bring a better understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away 【B20】______ thoughts or kill time.
