参考答案：C

解析：[分析] 推断题型。 第一段最后一句提到The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times are easy to find．紧接着第二段指出To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition．A person whose body or mind “hurts” will often pay any amount of money for...mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to more sym pathetic ears．句中sympathetic ears意为“庸医，骗子”。由此可见，病人不惜代价看病，医生诚实的告诉病人药的疗效，而庸医则声称其药能治百病，病人当然就去找这些庸医了，因此现在庸医还是十分流行。
