Do you have the experience of taking music lessons against your wishes？Perhaps you have complained about it because you thought it took you much playtime. But now you'd better thank your parents for their time and money spent on your musical training. A recent study suggests that music lessons can make children have better memories than their peers(同齡人).

The Canadian study showed that after one year of musical training，children did better on a memory test than those who didn't take music lessons.

The researchers made the children aged between 4 and 6 into two groups—one group of children took music lessons outside school，and the other didn't take any musical training. In one year，they took four tests in different times. The results showed brain development changes at least every four months.

The children taking music lessons not only did better in musical listening but also made faster progress in other ways，such as reading，writing，math and IQ.

People say music is the good medicine for a broken heart. Now it seems music can also help us to improve our memories. We are sure to find more and more in the wonderful world of music.

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier (收銀員) hand a little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.

“It’s the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas,” he said. I told him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her and that he shouldn’t worry. He sadly replied, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her.”

His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that

Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”

My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. “Okay,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left. “Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!” the little boy said.

I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.
