我们来一步一步分析这个题目。

一、题目内容理解：

题目给出了一段关于盐与健康关系的研究报告，主要内容包括：

  1. 研究显示，少吃一点盐对心脏健康有很大帮助。
  2. 研究发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上。
  3. 科学家使用计算机模型预测，每天减少3克盐摄入对心脏病的影响。
  4. 预测结果包括：
    • 心脏病发作减少13%
    • 中风减少8%
    • 死亡减少4%
    • 新发病例减少11%
  5. 提到了一个人：Michael Alderman，他是呼吁人们少吃盐的活动的支持者之一。

二、题目问题分析：

题目问的是：

> Michael Alderman is one of the supporters of the campaign of calling on people to eat less salt.

然后给出三个选项：

  • A. True（正确）
  • B. False（错误）
  • C. Not Given（未提及）

三、解题过程：

我们回到原文中寻找相关信息：

> "Michael Alderman is one of the supporters of the campaign of calling on people to eat less salt."

这句话直接出现在原文中，也就是说，文章明确指出 Michael Alderman 是“呼吁人们少吃盐”的活动的支持者之一。

因此，这句话是正确的。
