Are you clever enough?

你夠聰明嗎？

As a report suggests, "There is growing evidence that musicians have structurally and functionally different brains compared with non-musicians. In particular, the areas of the brain used to process music are larger or more active in musicians. Even just starting tolearn a musical instrument can change the neurophysiology of the brain. The brain regions involved in music processing are also required for other tasks,such as memory or language skills."

一份報告指出，越來越多的證據表明音樂家的大腦其結構和功能都異于常人，特別是他們大腦中處理音樂的區域面積更大也更活躍。即便是初學一種樂器，也會改變大腦的神經生理功能，而大腦中處理音樂的部位也會在其它任務中發揮作用，如記憶或語言能力。

It is in the nature of intellectually sharper peopleto indulge in evolutionary novel behaviour. Does that mean that it is healthy？You can pick your side but it must be mentioned here thatintelligent people do not necessarily indulge in healthy habits.

很自然地，更聰明的人會縱容自己做出革新性的新奇行為。這是健康的嗎？你可以持保留意見，但這里必須指出，聰明人并不總是遵循健康的習慣。
