The “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves y
ou sweating and gasping for breath. 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 2600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent high 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 11000 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 fewer heart attacks in both countries.
 The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause 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 (膽固醇) but we don’t know what 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 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. “ All these things can have an unfavorable 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.
  “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.
72.Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, _________.
A.is not so serious as people thought
B.is harmful to working people in developed countries
C.is the first killer in Germany and Italy
D.is created by researchers in Germany and Italy
73.To protect people from heat attacking, doctors have paid much attention to __________-.
A.people’s working time      B.people’s living place
C.people’s diet and life style   D.people’s nationalities
74.It can be learned from the passage that heart attack has nothing to do with __________.
A.blood pressure     B.heart rate      C.hormonal changes     D.blood group
75.If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?
A.Stop working on Monday           B.Create a pleasant working environment
C.Get up late on Monday morning  D.Do to work with a doctor

I was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch(門廊), I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again.

I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people.

On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn’t harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer(除臭劑)and sprayed it into the squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.

There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again.

Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHE’S BAAAAAACK…” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way into my porch roof, it would be a new charge. I replied I couldn’t continue contributing my husband’s hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up.

I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at me. We negotiated some terms, came to an agreeable arrangement and went back into our respective homes.

All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from my garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the birth of the little ones.

1.What did the author think of the squirrel at first?

A.Troublesome.      B.Dangerous.        C.Interesting.        D.Clever.

2.Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again?

A.She worried about the safety of the squirrel.

B.She thought the company charged too much.

C.She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.

D.She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.

B.The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.

C.The author has developed affection for the squirrel.

D.The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.

4.The author has written the passage in a (an) ________ way.

A.persuasive        B.serious           C.informative        D.a(chǎn)musing
