As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have
become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat
diets and „life in the fast lane” have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure.
But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of
heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any
other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after
waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980s and have since
discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and
concentration of heart-stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all
contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M and 10 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics
reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days
immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart Trang 3


attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the
aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and
how heart failure is triggered.
Question 30. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. cardiology in the 1980s
B. risk factors in heart attacks
C. diet and stress as factors in heart attacks
D. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks
Question 31. In line 2, the word “potential” could best be replaced by which of the following? A. possible B. harmful C. primary D. unknown
Question 32. The phrase “susceptible to” could best be replaced by . A. aware of B. affected by C. prone to D. accustomed
Question 33. Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor? A. having a birthday B. getting married C. eating fatty foods D. being under stress
Question 34. Which of the following does the passage infer?
A. We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
B. We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
C. We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks.
D. We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of
other members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has
hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation,
Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who
first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students' behaviour and encouraged more
students to focus on their academic achievement.
Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming
about being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school's catch-up classes, and that if he falls
behind, that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is
because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them.
It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed
buying a school dog. "Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect
children's conduct," says Brown. "We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has
been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after
surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a
handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems." Trang 4


Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school
for children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie
Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three
years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at
the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. "Their anxiety about mispronouncing
something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him," says Johnston.
Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human
interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love
and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the
former chief inspector of schools says, "I don't see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning
environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity
stunt. It's the kind of sentimental story journalists love." Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever.
