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
36 to 42.
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.
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks
B. cardiology in the 1980s
C. risk factors in heart attacks
D. diet and stress as factors in 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
43 to 50.
Since the dawn of time, people
have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and tribal drums
were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or
by humans on foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate
larger amounts of information between two places. The telegram and telephone
set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the invention of the
cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile. For you, a cell phone
is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with
family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The
definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is a hand-held wireless
communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special
areas called cells. Walkie - talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex
communication devices: They make it possible for two people to talk to each
other. Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because
they can be used in many different locations. A walkie-talkie is sometimes called
a half-duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time.
A cell phone is a full-duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the
same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has more than a
thousand channels. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a
distance of about a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds
of miles. In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to
work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories (now AT& T)
were in a race to invent the first portable communication device. Martin Cooper
won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3,1973, Cooper
made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking down
the streets of New York city. People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in
amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whopping
2.5 pounds (as compared to today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4
ounces) After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to
make the cell phone available to the general public. After a decade, Motorola
introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early cell phone and
its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $3, 500. In
1977, AT&T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with
over 2,000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in
the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell phones
to become available for general public use. Today, there are more than sixty
million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion
dollars per years.

A. the increasing number of people using cell phone
B. the difference between cell phones and telephones
C. the history of a cell phone
D. how Cooper competed with AT&T
