9.The one place you really don't want to be on weekend is in hospital.Last week,it was revealed in the research by Guy's and St Thomas'hospital in London,that stroke patients admitted on a Saturday or Sunday are up to 16percent more likely to die.Meanwhile,a report earlier this year from NHS England found that all patients are 12percent more likely to die if admitted to hospital at the weekend------this was because fewer senior staff were available and there was a lack of access to key physical examination tests,such as scans.
But even if you're not in hospital,weekends can be a health danger.You might have thought it was your chance to recover after a hard week,but as we reveal,while they won't kill you,weekends may be bad for your health.
Headaches can occur more often at the weekend--------especially on a Saturday-------because of a chance in our routine,suggests Dr Andy Dowson,director of headache services at King's College Hospital,London.He says:"if you are used to eating at a certain time of day or getting up and falling asleep at the same time,not continuing in the normal way at the weekend can cause headaches as your body and brain try to adjust to irregular meals or having a lie-in."one theory is that the hypothalamus is very sensitive to any change in the body's routine.
Caffeine withdrawal may be another factor,if you usually drink three or four cups of tea or coffee on week days to help you concentrate at work,but don't at the weekend,your body can go into withdrawal.it's thought caffeine also influences the chemical messenger that widens blood vessels in the brain----without it,these vessels narrow again,triggering a headache.
Lying on the sofa in front of TV for hours watching your favorites after a week of running around can make heartburn worse----or even cause it to happen,as sitting with the head and shoulders bent forward puts pressure on the stomach,forcing acid up the gullet,the tube through which food passes from the mouth to the stomach,say Steven Mann,a gastroenterologist at the Royal Free London Trust.
Acid reflux can also become a problem at the weekend you cannot bear because of less regular meal times as a result of late nights and lie-ins,explains Dr Mann.And having a take away could be the final straw."Oily,fatty food stimulates acid production,which can also cause problems such as heartburn and overflowing with the food."Dr Mann adds.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们说明了周末住院的病人更容易死亡是因为周末的工作人员少,并缺乏关键性的物理检查,由此作者告诉我们平时要注意健康,保持锻炼.
解答 78.because there is a lack of access to key physical examination tests. 细节理解题,根据第二段Meanwhile,a report earlier this year from NHS England found that all patients are 12percent more likely to die if admitted to hospital at the weekend------this was because fewer senior staff were available and there was a lack of access to key physical examination tests,such as scans.可知周末住院的病人更容易死亡是因为周末工作人员少,并缺乏关键的物理检查,故填.because there is a lack of access to key physical examination tests.
79.a change in one's routine and caffeine withdrawal. 细节理解题,根据第四段if you are used to eating at a certain time of day or getting up and falling asleep at the same time,not continuing in the normal way at the weekend can cause headaches as your body and brain try to adjust to irregular meals or having a lie-in以及第五段Caffeine withdrawal may be another factor,if you usually drink three or four cups of tea or coffee on week days to help you concentrate at work,but don't at the weekend,your body can go into withdrawal.可知一个人的日常生活和咖啡因的摄入的变化是可能引起头痛的两个原因,故填a change in one's routine and caffeine withdrawal.
80.a chemical messenger.推理判断题,根据第五段it's thought caffeine also influences the chemical messenger that widens blood vessels in the brain----without it,these vessels narrow again,triggering a headache.可知当血管很狭窄并且缺乏化学信使的时候很可能会导致头痛,故填a chemical messenger.
81.the last factor/thing/hazard that leads you to be a weekend patient. 推理判断题,通读全文并根据最后一段And having a take away could be the final straw."Oily,fatty food stimulates acid production,which can also cause problems such as heartburn and overflowing with the food."可知最后一根稻草的意思是最后一件导致你成为周末的病人的事情,故填the last factor/thing/hazard that leads you to be a weekend patient.
