问题     Eat like a Greek, and it could cut your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or dying from heart disease by about 30 percent, according to an attention-grabbing【C1】______ published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
    While this is far from the first paper to find a【C2】______between the Mediterranean diet and heart health, it is unique because of its large size and design. It randomized a group of more than 7,000 people at high risk of heart disease to follow either one of two kinds of Mediterranean diets (one supplemented with olive oil and one with nuts) or a low-fat diet. This is the most【C3】______way to show that the diet itself was causing the differences in health outcomes.
    The【C4】______ in the study, men and women between ages 55 and 80, had either type 2 diabetes or at least three major risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol or low HDL cholesterol.
    So what did they eat, exactly? The two groups of【C5】______dieters were【C6】______to eat fish and legumes three times a week, eat white meat instead of red, and avoid processed cookies and cakes. One group was told to use at least four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil daily; the other was encouraged to eat an ounce of nuts each day. The low-fat dieters, it【C7】______out, actually didn’t lower their fat intake much. They basically ate their usual diet, including red meat, soda, and processed foods.
    【C8】______with the group on the low-fat diet, the olive oil group had a 30 percent lower risk of heart attack, stroke or dying of heart disease after five years. Those in the nuts group had a 28 percent lower risk.
    "The strength of this study comes from the fact that we measured hard outcomes and not just blood pressure or changes in【C9】______levels," study author Ramon Estruch, from the Department of Internal Medicine at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, told Time. com. "We really believe the Mediterranean diet lowers【C10】______of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular deaths."
A) cholesterol B) pressure C) Mediterranean D) subjects E) strong

K) predicted  L) incidence M) Compared N) different O) powerful [br] 【C5】
