This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves,

33、we couldnt know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body.

34、 of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight 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.

35、e,“ 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.

39、ential for reducing pain九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Why do some new products succeed, bring millions of dollars to innovative companies, while others fail, often with great losses7 The answer is not simple, and certainly we cannot say that “good“ products succeed while “bad“ products fail. Many products

40、 that function well and seem to meet consumer needs have fallen by the wayside. Sometimes, virtually identical products exist in the market at the same time with one emerging as profitable while the other fails. Mc.

The customer will make the change if the perceived benefit is sufficient, but inertia is strong and consumers will often not go to the effort that is required. Duri

44、ng the late sixties and early seventies Bristol Meyers met with new product failures that exemplify both of these problems. In 1967 and 1968 the company entered the market with a $ 5 million advertising campaign for fact toothpaste, and an $11 million campaign to promote resolve. Both products faile

45、d quickly, not be cause they didnt work or because there was no consumer need, but apparently because consumers just could see no reason to shift from an already satisfactory product to a different one that promised no new benefit.（分数：10.00）(1).The first sentence of the first paragraph is a question
