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-1980, 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 10:00 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 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 .
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

(Mặc dù căng thẳng được cho là liên quan đến tất cả các yếu tố nguy cơ nói trên theo một cách nào đó, nghiên cứu vẫn tiếp tục với hy vọng hiểu rõ hơn tại sao và làm thế nào suy tim diễn ra.)
Đáp án:D

Bởi bệnh tim tiếp tục là căn bệnh chết người số một tại Hoa Kỳ, các nhà nghiên cứu ngày càng quan tâm đến việc xác định các yếu tố nguy cơ tiềm ẩn gây ra các cơn đau tim. Chế độ ăn có hàm lượng chất béo cao và "cuộc sống trên làn đường nhanh" từ lâu đã được biết đến góp phần gây ra bệnh tim. Tuy nhiên, theo các nghiên cứu mới, danh sách các yếu tố nguy cơ có thể dài hơn đáng kể và khá đáng ngạc nhiên.
Ví dụ như chứng suy tim, dường như theo thời vụ và thời gian. Tỷ lệ cơn đau tim xảy ra cao hơn trong thời tiết lạnh, và nhiều người bị suy tim vào thứ Hai hơn bất kỳ ngày nào trong tuần. Ngoài ra, người ta dễ bị đau tim hơn trong vài giờ đầu sau khi thức dậy. Các nhà tim mạch lần đầu tiên quan sát thấy hiện tượng này vào giữa năm 1980, và từ đó đã phát hiện ra một số nguyên nhân có thể. Vào buổi sáng sớm sự tăng huyết áp, nhịp tim, và sự tập trung các hoocmon kích thích tim, cộng với việc giảm lượng máu đến tim, có thể góp phần gây ra các cơn đau tim cao hơn vào khoảng giữa 8 giờ sáng và 10 giờ trưa. Trong các nghiên cứu khác, cả ngày sinh nhật và đời sống độc thân đều liên quan đến các yếu tố nguy cơ. Thống kê cho thấy tỷ lệ đau tim tăng đáng kể cho cả phụ nữ và nam giới trong vài ngày ngay trước và sau sinh nhật của họ. Và những người đàn ông chưa lập gia đình có nhiều nguy cơ bị đau tim hơn những người đã lập gia đình. Mặc dù căng thẳng được cho là liên quan đến tất cả các yếu tố nguy cơ nói trên theo một cách nào đó, nghiên cứu vẫn tiếp tục với hy vọng hiểu rõ hơn tại sao và làm thế nào suy tim diễn ra.

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 31 to 35.
Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
