这篇四级选词填空是2007年6月的四级考试真题，考生普遍反映很难，因为绝大多数的备选单词都不认识，这也是这种阅读题型成为中国四六级考生最崩溃的题型的最本质的和最无奈的原因。 Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients 47____ of pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.　　Times have changed. Today, we take pain 48____.
