17.That"Monday morning feeling"could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath(氣喘吁吁).Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on 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 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 other day.
A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m.on a Mondaymorningas the most stressful time forthe heart,and both studies showed that Sundayis the least stressful day,with fewest heart attacks in both countries.
The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks,accordingto Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University."We know a lot about long-term risk factors suchas smokingandcholesterol (膽固醇)butwedon't knowwhat actually causes heart attacks,so we can't give clear advice on how to prevent them,"he said.
Monday mornings have a double 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(內(nèi)分泌)changes in their bodies,"Willich explained."A1these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood systemand increase the risk of a clot (血凝塊) 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.

分析 本文是一篇調(diào)查的報告分析.文章向讀者說明星期一是最容易患心臟病的日子,并做了具體的原因分析.
解答 32.D理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段后3行Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.說明在德國和意大利星期一的上午是工作的人們最容易患心臟病的時刻,故說明這種感覺對被調(diào)查國家的工作的人是有害的.故D正確.
33.C 判斷題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第4段We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(膽固醇)說明導(dǎo)致心臟病的長期原因的抽煙和膽固醇,那么這都是和人的生活習(xí)慣和飲食有關(guān)的,故C正確.
34.D理解題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"When people get up,their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(內(nèi)分泌)changes in their bodies,"Willich explained."All these things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝塊)in the arteries(動脈)which will cause a heart attack."人們氣起床的時候血壓和心率單都會上升,內(nèi)分泌也會發(fā)生變化.而所有的這些都會對血液系統(tǒng)有不好的影響,造成動脈的血凝塊,從而引起心臟病發(fā)作.由此說明ABC三項都是與心臟病有關(guān)的,只有D項沒有提及.
35.A判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段"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 activity,"說明星期一心臟病高發(fā)是和工作的壓力有關(guān),那么可以創(chuàng)造出一個更好的工作環(huán)境來減少工作的壓力,故A項正確.
