阅读理解。     Do you play a musical instrument? If so, you may be getting smarter. A recent study shows that taking
music lessons can raise a person"s IQ.
     Scientists studied 132 children in Canadian schools. At the beginning of the school year, these children
took an IQ test. Then they were divided into four groups. One group took singing lessons. Another group
took weekly piano lessons. The third group took classes in drams (戏剧). And the last group did no special
activities at all.
    At the end of the school year, the 132 children took an IQ test again. In all four groups, the average score
went up. However, the piano players"IQs went up 7.0 points on average. The average increase for the other
three groups was only 4.3 points.
     The researchers say that the difference is small and it may not result in better grades for the piano players.
However, they still consider the results important. Learning an instrument helps kids becomes better at
concentrating and at memorizing things. Therefore, the researchers say, it may be good for brain development
in young people.

MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a food additive (食品添加剂), which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909. MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original (原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions (反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat (心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a person"s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders (神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn"t want to eat the food including MSG. Today many food companies"hide" MSG on food labels (标签) by using different names. If you see "natural flavorings", "hydrolyzed protein" and "spices" in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to "report" MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food. To protect people"s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.
