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 heartattacks 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 thehours 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
Câu 36.In line 2, the word "potential" could best be re-placed by which of the following?
Câu 37.Which of the following does the passage infer?
A.We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks
B.We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or haveneared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, nownumber only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely
by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals
such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world's ecosystem.International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of ourplanet
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort
to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They then charge admission
prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response
to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This
has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed
Câu 35 Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?
Câu 36 What does the term "international boycott" refer to?
A.Defraying the costof maintaining national parks B.A global increase in animal survival
