英文原文
【英文原文】
For most, chocolate is a guilty pleasure, may better, because it's so bad for you. Now, though, an extensive study has discovered that eating chocolate can be very good for your health. They can substantially reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke and help slower blood pressure. And before you check the day, this isn't a windup. The study was carried out by German nutritionists and kept track of chocolate eaters for at least 10 years. Even the British Heart Foundation agrees with the findings.
-Dark chocolate has had a lot of publicity in the past about it being beneficial. And we think that's due to the flavonols which are actually in the cocoa, and there is some suggestion that such actually the chemical actually has got the heart-protective effects.
The study monitored more than 19,000 people and found that eating just 7.5 grams of dark chocolate a day reduced the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 39%. Even better, those who ate the most chocolate had the greatest benefit. As always though, there is a catch. High-end chocolates like these are the most beneficial.
-When things are added to chocolate, that's when it starts to become fatter and higher in calorie. The more naturally is, the better is for you. So the darker and the richer, and the better the quality of the chocolate, the better is for you.
So this is:Don't feel guilty, it's good for you
-Shall I give you one to try?
Some of these even have to watch over five a day as they contain real fruit. Of course the problem is will it taste as good. Now it's no longer bad. Of course, it will.

【重点句型讲解】The study was carried out by German nutritionists and kept track of chocolate eaters for at least 10 years.
这是一个由“the study”为主语引导的简单句，句中有两个谓语，分别是“was carried out”和“kept track of”,整句话的意思，就是“这是由德国营养学家们开展的研究，他们对巧克力的食用者进行了10多年的观察和记录”。
这里，词组“carry out”是“施行，实现”的意思，譬如：“He will carry out his plan. 他要执行自己的计划。”
下面我们再来看看“keep track of”这个词组，track是“道路，轨道”的意思，词组keep track of是“vt. 留意 ”的意思，
譬如：Keep track of the time you actually travel.
把旅行的实际时间记录下来。
