MSG(monosodium glutamate谷氨酸單鈉) is a food additive(食品添加劑),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 taste and color. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meat, 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(反應(yīng)) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat . 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(神經(jīng)紊亂). In mice studies done by a university, the result showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.

Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(標簽) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings (調(diào)味品) ”,“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 harmful food additives have been added to the food.

To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking action to stop factories producing harmful food additives.

If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

　　In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (動作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised right hands together.

　　People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

　　This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect. This also showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

　　Why not try to give the high five to your friends?
