Music lessons may improve memory and learning ability in your children by promoting different patterns of brain development, a study shows.

After a year of musical training, children aged between 4 and 6 performed better at a standard memory test than did children who were not taught music.The findings suggest that music could be useful for building the learning capacity of your minds.

Earlier studies have shown that older children given music lessons become better at IQ tests than those who are musically untrained, but this is the first to show such a benefit in children so young.

Professor Laurek Trainor, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, also found clear differences in the ways in which children's brains responded to sound after a year of musical training.'This is the first study to show that brain responses in young, musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year," she said."These changes are likely to be related to the cognitive( 认知的 )benefit that is seen with musical training."

Professor Trainer's team looked at 12 children, 6 of whom had just started extra-curricular (课程外) music lessons and 6 of whom were not being taught any music except that included as a standard part of their school curriculum (课程标准) .

During the year all 12 children had their brains examined four times using magneto-encephalography (MEG), and each child was played two types of sound —white noise and a violin tone.The MEG measurements showed that all children responded more to violin sounds than to white noise, reflecting a preferable for meaningful tones, and their response times fell over the course of the year as their brains matured.

We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter.We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine.Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack.Sometimes it's an ingredient(配料) in the main course of a meal.Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken.The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices(香料) like chili peppers.

Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree.The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say "Ugh!" and run away.Workers must first dry and then roast the beans.This removes the bitter taste.

The word "chocolate" comes from a Mayan word.The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico.They valued the cacao tree.Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine.No one had the idea of adding sugar.The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes.Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.

In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.It quickly became a cheap and popular drink.Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.

Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie.Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.
