Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that he

33、art 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

34、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

35、 at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11, 000 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 fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understandin

36、g 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（胆固醇） but we dontknow what actually causes heart attacks, so we cantgive clear advice on how to prevent them, ” he said.

37、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

38、explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and 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 physica

39、l activities,”said Willich.60.

42、. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist, ”he says. “ I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿轨道运行） other stars like our Sun”.And he did. “My

43、fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. M

44、arcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “ family ”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的） planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out.

45、The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征） in our solar system. The fir

46、st is Jupiter.“Because it s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids（小行星） , or they all come and hit the牛津版高二英语第一学期期中测试卷Earth. ” Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ” A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is nec

47、essary for life,can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, t

48、oo small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”64. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist f

49、amily.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.65. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.D. The planet is

50、as large as Jupiter.66. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 70C. 76D. 6567. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because _.A. he has found the system similar to the solar systemB. he has discovered an Earth-like planet ther

51、eC. he has discovered a rocky planet thereD. he has found signs of life in the system68.“ But we stuck with it ”（in Paragraph 3）means _.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressDNearly everyone is shy in some ways.

52、g you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don t turn d
