16. An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children’s ability to learn or their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creatively. Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there’s one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent.
17. This week marks the first anniversary of a major exploration effort on Mars. It has been 12 months since the exploration device called " Curiosity" landed on the distant planet. The United States space agency, NASA, says Curiosity has driven more than 1. 6 kilometres on Mars. The device, called a " rover" , is about the size of a car. Curiosity has found evidence of an ancient riverbed and other signs of wet conditions.
18. A commercial building has collapsed in a suburb of the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, killing several people and injuring many more, officials say.

They were believed to be among at least 22 people injured when the building fell down on Tuesday morning.
19. Sugar is the "new tobacco" and companies need to cut the amount they add to food by 30 percent to help to stem the obesity epidemic, a new campaigning group of doctors says.

Sugar added to food has little nutritional value , does not make people feel full and is dangerous beyond merely the number of calories it contains.
