Shift Work Link to Increased Risk of Heart Problems

Shift workers are slightly more at risk of having a heart attack or stroke than day workers,research suggests.
An analysis of studies involving more than 2 million workers in the British Medical Journal said shift
work can disrupt the body clock and have a negative effect on lifestyle.It has previously been linked to an
increased risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
Limiting night shifts would help workers cope,experts said.
The team of researchers from Canada and Norway analyzed 34 studies.In total,there were 17,359
coronary events of some kind,including cardiac arrests,6,598 heart attacks and 1,854 strokes caused by
lack of blood to the brain.These events were more common in shift workers than in other people.
The BMJ study calculated that shift work was linked to a 23%increased risk of heart attack,24%
increased risk of coronary event and 5%increased risk of stroke.But they also said shift work was not linked
to increased mortality rates from heart problems and that the relative risks associated with heart problems
were"modest".
Dan Hackam,associate professor at Western University,London, Ontario in Canada,said shift workers
were more prone to sleeping and eating badly."Night shift workers are up all the time and they don't have
a defined rest period.They are in a state of perpetual nervous system activation which is bad for things like
obesity and cholesterol,"he said.
The authors say that screening programs could help identify and treat risk factors for shift workers,such
as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.They add that shift workers could also be educated about what
symptoms to look out for,which might indicate early heart problems.
Jane White,research and information services manager at the Institution of Occupational Safety and
Health,said there were complex issues surrounding shift work."It can result in disturbed appetite and
digestion,reliance on sedatives and/or stimulants,as well as social and domestic problems."These can
affect performance,increase the likelihood of errors and accidents at work,and even have a negative effect
on health.She said the effects of shift work needed to be well managed.
"Avoiding permanent night shifts,limiting shifts to a maximum of 12 hours and ensuring workers have a
minimum of two full nights'sleep between day and night shifts are simple,practical solutions that can help
people to cope with shift work."

From Paragraph Six it can be inferred that_________.
A:shift workers have no good food to eat
B:shift workers don't know how to define rest period
C:a worker of high cholesterol level is likely to suffer more from shift work
D:shift workers have no place to sleep comfortably

The Worker 's Role in Management
Traditionally,it has been the workers'role to work and management's role to manage.Managers have planned and directed the firm's operations with little thought of consulting the labor force.Managers have rarely felt compelled（被迫的）to obtain the workers ' opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees.At most,companies have provided"suggestion boxes"in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures.In recent years,however,many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor-they have a vital stake in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management.Furthermore,major company decisions profoundly affect workers and their dependents.This is
particularly true of plant closings,which may put thousands on the unemployment lines.Should workers, then,play a stronger role in management?
Workers should have a role in management.At the very least,the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions(A common complaint among rank-and-file workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions).Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs（失业）,often with no warning.At least 90 days'notice ought to be given in such instances so that workers have time to adjust.Management should consult workers before closing a plant,because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions that will help keep the plant operating.
It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making.There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm's board of directors or other major policymaking groups.If rank-and-file workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow,they will help to make improvements,their morale will rise,and their productivity will increase.As a further incentive,they must be given a share in the company's profits.This can be done through employee stock-ownership plans,bonuses,or rewards for efficiency and productivity.Finally,when a plant can no longer operate at a profit,the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.

According to the passage,what happened between 1980 and 1985?
A:Managers consulted workers before closing a plant.
B:Workers did not make necessary concessions.
C:About five million workers were laid off without advance notice.
D:Many companies were closed because of strikes.
