Are you afraid of going to the dentist(牙医)? If so, you're not alone.

These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries(牙科手术). In fact. among the451 interviewed patients，75％ reported no pain atall during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.
Could it be the sound of the drill(钻头)then?
“I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they don’t have any pain. \
To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers intolow-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteerswere played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.
What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brainrelative to auditory processing(听觉处理)， which means， for these people， the sound of dentaldrills is no different from other sounds
In the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated(激活)was different. It wasthe area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past,causing their worry to return.
Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists 'drills could help scientists find waysto make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going tothe dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy. 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。 66. How does the writer explain that the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries? A.
