作為雅思考生，我們讀外刊要有一定的目的性，不僅僅是為了擴大我們的閱讀面，還要有意識地針對雅思考試，提高自己的水平。本文的話，我們做了一些注釋，主要幫助大家習得雅思口語，雅思寫作的知識。
Perhaps most surprising, older marathon runners can be just as susceptible as their sedentary counterparts to atherosclerosis, or the buildup of dangerous plaques in the arteries, the studies show. Strenuous exercise does not prevent these plaques in people who are predisposed by heredity or lifestyle to the condition.
也許最令人驚訝的是，研究表明，中老年馬拉松選手與久坐不動的人一樣容易患動脈粥樣硬化(也就是危險斑塊在動脈中堆積)。在因遺傳或生活方式原因更容易患這種疾病的人當中，劇烈運動對斑塊沒有預防效果。
【經典句式】
marathon runner馬拉松選手
be susceptible to sth易受…影響的
sedentary久坐不動的
counterpart對應的人或物
artery動脈
strenuous exercise劇烈運動
predisposed有傾向的
The act of exercising, however, may increase the risk that the plaques will rupture, precipitating a heart attack. Someone with atherosclerosis is more likely,studies show, to have a heart attack while running than while sitting quietly.
而且，運動可能會增加斑塊破裂的風險，引發心肌梗死。研究顯示，與靜坐時相比，動脈粥樣硬化患者在跑步時更可能發生心肌梗死。

heart attack心臟病發
likely可能的
But many older athletes with atherosclerosis have no idea they suffer from the condition, which often causes few symptoms.
但是，很多患有動脈粥樣硬化的中老年運動員對自己的病情一無所知，雖然有些癥狀已經出現。

Similarly, according to the new review, people with certain inherited heart abnormalities, such as cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart) or long QT syndrome,a disorder of the heart’s electrical activity, may exacerbate their conditions with strenuous exercise. The cardiac remodeling that is beneficial for most exercisers, the reviewers write, is undesirable for them and could lead to premature death, possibly contributing to the statistical downturn in health benefits from extreme exercise seen in some studies.
這項新綜述還顯示，某些遺傳性心臟異常，如心肌病(心臟肥大)或長QT綜合癥(心臟電活動的紊亂)的患者在劇烈運動時，病情可能加劇。作者們在綜述中寫道，雖然心臟重構對大多數鍛煉者有益，但對上述患者卻有害，可能會導致他們過早死亡。一些研究發現劇烈運動的健康效益從統計學上偏低，可能有這方面的原因。
