Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on
31、Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2, 600 Germans showed that the average person
32、had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any o
33、ther day.A study of 11, 000 Italians proved 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate caus
34、e of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇)but we dont know what actually causes heart attacks, so we cant give clear advice on how to prevent them, ”he said.Monday mornings have a double
35、helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(内分泌)changes in their bodies, ”Willich explained. “All these things ca
36、n have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块)which will cause a heart attack.”“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities,”said Willich.49Mon

38、tion to _.A. peoples working time B. peoples living placeC. peoples diet and lifestyle D. peoples nationalities51It can be learned from this passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT _.A. blood pressure B. heart rate C. hormonal changesD. blood type52If the rese
39、archers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?A. Improve working conditions.B. Never go to work on Mondays.C. Stay with a doctor on Mondays.D. Get up late on Monday mornings.DSome people believe that international sports create goodwill between the nations and that if
40、 countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have do
41、ne little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national competitions.One country received its second-place medals with vi
42、sible indignation(愤慨)after a hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objection to the final decision. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was very angry and he s
43、aid, “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛)of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not give up the first pla
44、ce to Russia, after a disputable end to their competition. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player popped the ball into the basket. It was the firs
45、t time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sports are played co
46、mpetitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).53According to the
47、author, recent Olympic Games have _.A. caused national pride for athletes B. created goodwill between the nationsC. hardly showed any international friendshipD. led to less misunderstanding between countries54What did the manager mean by saying “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are fin
48、ished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. There should be no hockey matches organized by the Federation.C. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.D. The International Hockey Federation should be dismissed forever.55By taking the basketball game
49、 for example, the author wants to prove that _.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the gamesB. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. the team was right in refusing to accept the silver medals56What conclusion can be drawn from
50、 the passage?A. Sports should be played for the love of ones nation.B. Unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games.C. International competitions will lead to misunderstanding.D. The organization for the Olympic Games must be reformed.EWhen other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was wo
51、rking at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship(奖学金)and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homele
52、ss to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted(吸毒)parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only
53、member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school
54、. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,
55、”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”.
