俗话说“条条大路通罗马”，背诵
A small bowl of porridge each day could be the key to a long and healthy life, after a study by Harvard University found that whole grains reduce the risk of dying from heart disease.
Although whole grains are widely believed to be beneficial for health, it is the first research to look at whether they have a long-term impact on lifespan.
Researchers followed more than 100,000 people for more than 14 years monitoring their diets and health outcomes.
They found those who ate the most whole grains, such as porridge, brown rice, corn and quinoa seemed protected from many illnesses and particularly heart disease.
哈佛大学进行的一项研究调查发现，每天食用一小碗麦片粥是健康长寿的关键，全谷物能降低患心脏疾病死亡的风险。
尽管人们普遍认为全谷物有益健康，不过该项研究还是首次调查全谷物对人的寿命是否有长期影响。
花费超过14年的时间，研究人员跟踪调查了10万以上志愿者的饮食和健康状况。
他们发现那些食用较多全谷物的志愿者，如食用麦片粥、糙米、谷物和藜麦，似乎免受很多疾病，特别是心脏疾病的侵害。
【讲解】
文中的porridge就是“麦片粥”的意思，也表示“粥，浓汤”之意，如：I had a bowl of porridge for breakfast.(我早餐吃了一碗麦片粥。)除了文中提及的几种全谷物(whole grain)，常见的五谷杂粮还有：maize(玉米)，oat(燕麦)，wheat(小麦)，sorghum(高粱)等。
第三段中的outcome是名词，意为“结果，后果”，多指事物经过一系列发展变化所导致的最终结局，如：We are anxiously awaiting the outcome of their discussion. (我们急切地等待着他们讨论的结果。)
