听力原文:M: So, Susan, do you have anything planned for this Saturday?
W: Uh, I'm kind of busy. Why do you ask?
M: Oh, I was wondering if you'd like to get together and do something, like watch a movie or take a walk down by the lake.
W: I'd love to, but I'm really going to be busy all day on Saturday.
M: What do you have to do on that day?
W: First, my mom asked me to help clean the house in the morning, and then I have a dentist appointment at 19: 30. I can't miss that cause I've canceled twice before.
M: Well, what about after that?
W: Well, I'm going to be running around all day. After the dentist appointment, I need to meet Julie at 2:00 to help her with her science project that's due on Monday morning at school.
M: Okay, but are you free after that?
W: Hardly. Then I have to pick up my brother from soccer practice at 4: 30, and my mom asked me to cook dinner for the family at 5: 30. I feel like a slave sometimes. Then, I have too clean the dishes and finish reading my history assignment. Who knows how long that'll take?
M: Wow, sounds like you're going to have a full day. Hey, listen, why don't I come over later in the evening. And we can make some popcorn and watch a movie.
W: Oh, that'd be great. But our video machine is broken.
M: Huh. Well. Let's just play a game or something.
W: Sounds good, but give me a call before you come. My mom might try to come up with something else for me to do.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
A moment's drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand 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 help 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 (感觉), we can handle, the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation. It is still a sensation. And sensations mo the stuff of life.
The passage is mainly about ______.
A. how to suffer pain
B. how to avoid pain
C. how to handle pain
D. how to stop pain
