问题     (56) A study presented last week at the American Heart Association meeting suggests that mental relaxation produced by meditation may have physiological benefits, at least in the case of people with established coronary artery disease. Researchers followed about 200 high-risk patients for an average of five years. Among the 100 who meditated, there were 20 heart attacks, strokes and deaths’! in the comparison group, there were 32. (57) The meditators tended to remain disease-free longer and also reduced their blood pressure. "We found reduced blood pressure that was significant—that was probably one important mediator," said Dr. Robert Schneider, director of the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention in Fairfield, Iowa, who presented the findings. The study was conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, in collaboration with the institute. Dr. Schneider suggested that (58) the stress reduction produced by the meditation could cause changes in the brain that cut stress hormones and decelerate the processes associated with atherosclerosis (动脉硬化).
选项
答案People with careful and quiet mind are under lower pressure which can result in some changes in the brain including stopping pressure hormones and slowing down the processes related to atherosclerosis．
解析 画线部分句子意思是：沉思可以缓解人们的压力，从而使大脑内部发生一些变化：抑制压力荷尔蒙激素的分泌和延缓动脉硬化的进程。meditation：沉思，用careful and quiet mind代替；stress reduction：缓解压力，用under lower pressure代替；cause：引起，用result in来代替；cut stress hormones：抑制压力荷尔蒙激素的分泌，用stopping pressure hormones代替；decelerate the processes associated with atherosclerosis：延缓动脉硬化的进程，用slowing down the processes related to atherosclerosis来代替。
