Today in Taipei, police arrested over thirty drivers in what they call their "Drive to " program. Local police are cracking down on drivers not wearing their seat belts. Check points were set up at random locations throughout the city. Officials claim that 40 percent of injuries from head-on collisions could have been prevented if passengers were wearing seat belts. Furthermore, seat belts are extremely effective in rollover collisions. They're more effective in preventing deaths and injuries in this situation than in any other kind of accident. Police are also checking that seat belts are properly worn. This means the straps are sitting on both the hipbone and over the shoulder. So, do yourself and your family a favor and when you leave the home today, be sure to buckle up! 今日台北市警方在他們所謂的『開車保命』專案行動中逮到三十多位駕駛人。本地的員警正在掃蕩沒有繫安全帶的駕駛人。檢查哨在台北市不定點設置。官員們表示，如果乘客都能繫上安全帶，就可預防百分之四十的車禍傷害。再者，在車子追撞翻滾時，安全帶亦可發揮很大的功效。與其它的意外事故相較，安全帶在這種情況下往往更能有效預防死亡或受傷。警方也檢查安全帶是否有繫好妥當。這意謂帶子要落在臀骨和肩膀上。因此，你務必幫自己及家人一個忙。當你要開車出門時，一定要繫好安全帶。

People's reactions to pain vary. Different people have different _(9)_ levels. What seems intolerable to one person may not bother _(10)_, even though both feel pain. And while pain causes anguish, depression, nausea, and tears in some people, others exhibit no such effects. Even in the same person, tolerance of pain may vary _(11)_ circumstances and psychological states. If you should stub your toe _(12)_ running from a fierce dog or an armed robber, it probably would not hurt at all. In hospitals, medical personnel have discovered that preoperative psychological preparation seems to help _(13)_ postoperative pain: patients who are told in advance how much pain to expect and just how they are likely to feel for how long, generally _(14)_ fewer painkillers after surgery than do unprepared patients. Therefore, the _(15)_ of any physical pain is more or less determined by psychological factors. 人們對於疼痛的反應不一。不同的人擁有不同的忍受程度。某一個人無法忍受的事物也許讓另一個人不十分在意，即使兩個人都有疼痛的感覺。疼痛在某些人身上造成極大的痛苦、憂鬱、噁心、以及掉眼淚的現象，不過對其他人而言卻不造成影響。甚至在同一個人身上，忍受痛苦的程度也會隨著環境和心理狀態的變化而不同。當你為走避一隻惡犬或一名持刀槍的搶匪而逃跑時，假如你撞到大拇指，很可能一點也不覺得痛。在醫院，醫療人員發現開刀前的心理準備似乎對於減少開刀後的疼痛有所幫助。如果事先告知病人要預期多少程度的痛苦以及他們的痛苦感覺可能要持續多久，一般來說這樣的病人在開完刀之後比那些心裡沒有準備的病人較少依賴止痛藥。因此，身體任何疼痛的強度或多或少受到心理因素所支配。
