题文

That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent rearch 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 ven, but a six-year study helped by rearchers 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 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cau 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 don’t know what actually caus 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（内分泌）changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All the things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increa the risk of a clot（血凝块）in the arteries（动脉）which will cau 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 activity,” said Willich.小题1:．Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, .A．is not so rious as people thoughtB．is harmful to working people in Germany and ItalyC．is the first killer in Germany and Italy.D．is created by rearchers in Germany and Italy小题2:．To protect people from suffering from heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to . A．people’s working timeB．people’s living placeC．people’s diet and lifestyle D．people’s nationalities小题3:．It can be learned from this passage that heart attack has nothing to do with .A．blood pressureB．heart rateC．hormonal changesD．blood group小题4:．If the rearchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?A．Stop working on MondayB．Create a pleasant working environmentC．Get up late on Monday morningD．Go to work with a doctor小题5:.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The risk of having heart attacks on Monday mornings is the same as on any other day of the week to non-workersB．33% of the Germans have heart dias, therefore heart attacks are more common in Germany than in any other country.C．20%of the Italians appear to have higher possibility of having heart attacks.D．Non-smokers are more likely to have heart attacks on Sundays. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
