【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 19-22
M: Ouch! That hurts!
W: What's wrong? Did you cut yourself?
M: (19){{U}}Yes--I've got a paper-cut on my finger.{{/U}} (20) {{U}}How can such a little cut hurt so much?{{/U}} I'm not even bleeding, but my finger really hurts.
W: You know I read something about that. It turns out that a little cut on a finger can hurt a lot more than a big cut somewhere else.
M: Why? That doesn't make any sense.
W: Actually, it does. (21){{U}}There are more nerve endings in your hands than almost anywhere else in the body, and it's the nerve endings that allow you to feel pain.{{/U}}
M: I guess that's true.
W: Also, a little cut like yours won't damage the nerve endings, just irritates them. If they were damaged, you'd feel less pain, but the wound could be more serious.
M: So I suppose I should be happy my finger hurts so much?
W: Right. (22){{U}}Now go and get yourself a bandage.{{/U}}
M: Why, you just told me it's not serious.
W: It's not, but it does seem to be bothering you. (22) {{U}}Putting a bandage over the cut will keep the skin from drying and will help keep the skin together{{/U}}. If the skin stays together, the nerve endings won't be exposed, and the cut will hurt less.
M: Thank you. By the way, why don't you go to the medical school? I bet you can be a great doctor!
