Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third, researchers have found. Scientists said that having a cat helped to relieve stress and anxiety, which is known to help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart rate. The 10-year study looked at 4, 435 adults aged between 30 and 75 , about half of whom owned a cat. The findings, presented at a stroke conference in America, showed that 3. 4 percent of the cat owners died from a heart attack over 10 years. Among the group who had never owned a cat the rate was 5. 8 percent.Cat owners still had a much reduced chance of developing strokes or heart attacks when researchers took account of other factors known to trigger heart disease, including high cholesterol levels, smoking and diabetes.

In comparison with the lives of other postgraduate students, the life of a student doctor is far from easy. Despite the heavy workload, it seems that the more you learn, the more you rely what you still need to study. As a result, it is not unusual for students to drop out. Misguided teachers attempt to simplify matters in an environment that demands the very best of its practitioners. The situation is little better in the year or two years after qualifying. Poorly paid for such long hours, many junior doctors find themselves becoming disillusioned with medicine. The more depressed they become, the more likely they are to look elsewhere for a career, wasting up to seven years of training and education. An unfortunate statistic is that of those that qualify as doctors, 18% do not remain in the profession for more than three years. Questions 66—70 Answer the following questions according to the passage.

Or, you could consult Google or other Web-based resources. But there is one thing many of us avoid—asking for advice.
