However, the researchers are not yet ready to make this statement and cautious against other peoples doing so. They have said that there is a relationship between heavy coffee drinking and heart attacks, but the relationship is not necessarily one of cause and effect.If the life styles of people who have heart attacks are examined, the possibility that heavy coffee drinking is only coincidental（偶然的）can be seen. Heart attack victims lives share certain features: pressure, tension, busyness, activity and tiredness. These go hand in hand with heavy coffee drinking. Ordinary coffee which contains caffeine（咖啡因）is a stimulant（刺激物）to a tired person. It is a needed break of a busy, nervous habit for a tense person.You may have nothing to worry about if you are a heavy coffee drinker. The way you eat, sleep, work and play is probably far more important. 21. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, possibly you are suffering from _.

Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examination. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4-1-4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February. 26.
