five scholars on challenges facing today’s single women.For questions 61 to
65,match the name of each scholar to one of the statements (A to G) given
below.Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Clive: The risk of having a heart attack
on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study coordinated by
researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans revealed
that average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having aheart attack on
aMondaythan on any other day. Pamela: Working Germans tend to be influenced particularly,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. Otis: The findings could
lead to a better understanding of what triggers 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 but we don’t know what actually triggers
heart attacks, so we can’t make specific recommendations about how to prevent
that", he said. Kent: Monday
morning have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid
transition 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 changes in their bodies,"Willich explained."All these
things can have a negative effect on the blood system 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,"We need to know how these events cause changes in the
body before we can understand if they cause heart attack." Ida: Although it is trying to believe
that returning to work increases the risk of a heart attack, both Willich and
the Italian researchers admit that it is only a partial answer. Both studies
show that the over-65s are also to be unprotected in a Monday morning even
though most no longer work.The reason for this is not clear, but the Italian
team at Liugui Saddo Hospital in Milan thinks over the social interactions—the
thought of facing another week and all its pressures—may play a part.
