    　　Is the world warming up? According to many reports the answer is yes．Eleven of the hottest years since 1850 appeared between 1995 and 2006．Last year, the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)reported the earth was about 0.75℃warmer than it was in 1850．While this doesn’t sound like a lot, a small difference in average(平均)temperature can make a big difference in climate(气候)．During the last ice age, the planet was only about five degrees colder than now．

    　　It’s all about the speed at which temperatures are changing．In the past, temperatures moved up or down step by step．But in the 20th century, especially since 1976, temperatures have likely risen more quickly than during any century in the last 1,000 years．Warming may bring improved harvests(收获)to northern countries such as Canada and Russia．However, many species(物种)won’t like these conditions．They begin moving towards cooler places and cause lots of trouble to human world．

    　　The IPCC reported that human activity is very likely responsible(负责任的), by increasing the greenhouse effect(效应)．Some gases cause the air to take in heat energy．Without the greenhouse effect, the earth’s average temperature would be -18℃ rather than the present comfortable 14.6 degrees．The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide(CO2), water vapor(蒸汽)and some other gases．Burning oil, coal and waste adds to the Carbon dioxide, and it has increased 35％since 1850．

    　　Many researchers have found that natural forces alone don’t explain the temperature increases over the last 30 to 40 years．Their study shows that as carbon dioxide goes up, temperatures will rise too．But some scientists don’t agree．They think the effect of human produced greenhouse gases is very small compared to the normal changes that the climate causes．

    　　When asked whether humans are causing the world warming, Carl Wunsch, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says,“It seems very likely from what I’ve seen．Is it 100％sure?No．There’s something to do with natural changes．”Does that mean we should have a“wait and see”attitude(态度)?Not according to Wunsch．He points out we buy house insurance(保险)not because we are sure our homes will be on fire, but because it’s a danger we’d rather avoid．

    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.
    If you have a chance to learn to play a musical instrument, never miss it. Remember it can make you smarter.
