17.That"Monday morning feeling"could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath(气喘吁吁).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 (胆固醇)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(内分泌)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.

分析 本文是一篇调查的报告分析.文章向读者说明星期一是最容易患心脏病的日子,并做了具体的原因分析.
解答 32.D理解题.根据文章第一段后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.说明在德国和意大利星期一的上午是工作的人们最容易患心脏病的时刻,故说明这种感觉对被调查国家的工作的人是有害的.故D正确.
33.C 判断题.根据文章倒数第4段We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇)说明导致心脏病的长期原因的抽烟和胆固醇,那么这都是和人的生活习惯和饮食有关的,故C正确.
34.D理解题.根据文章倒数第二段"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 can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块)in the arteries(动脉)which will cause a heart attack."人们气起床的时候血压和心率单都会上升,内分泌也会发生变化.而所有的这些都会对血液系统有不好的影响,造成动脉的血凝块,从而引起心脏病发作.由此说明ABC三项都是与心脏病有关的,只有D项没有提及.
35.A判断题.根据文章最后一段"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,"说明星期一心脏病高发是和工作的压力有关,那么可以创造出一个更好的工作环境来减少工作的压力,故A项正确.
