A migraine(偏頭疼)can cause disabling pain. People may not feel back to normal for hours or even days, Migraines are most common among young adults and middle-aged people. In the United States, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men percent of men report having migraines.

People who suffer from migraines can find that different“triggers” (誘因)in different  people may get a headache started. Stress can act as a trigger. So can chocolate in some people. Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(大氣壓）can act as triggers. But researchers say they did not have much scientific evidence of that—until now.

In a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients. The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, because of a headache. More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.

The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the hospital visits. For every increase of five degrees centigrade in air temperature, the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraine. Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to trigger headaches.

The researchers found no evidence that air pollution influenced headaches. But they could not rule out the possibility of a smaller effect.

A separate study has found that age, gender and where a person has extra body fat my affect the risk of migraine. It found that overweight people between the ages twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk. On average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines.

The study involved twenty-two thousand people. It was led by Lee Peterlin. She says early results that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women.

As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one?s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 36 .Several decades ago he made a mistake—a(n) perfect mistake, 37 .

On a cold Saturday, Mother?s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 38 was sending to an orphanage(孤兒院)in Congo. On his way home, he　 39　 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved 40 .When he 41 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases. His brand new glasses, having 42 him $ 20 that very morning, were heading for Congo! He had to drive home. 43 .

Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather?s church, 44 Grandpa and his family also attended.

“But most of all, ”he said,“I must thank you for the 　45　 you sent last year. You see, the bandits（土匪）had just swept through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”

“ 46 I had the money, there was simply no way of 47 those glasses. 48 not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 49 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
