Why do We Yawn(打哈欠)
Do you yawn There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research.They do not know exactly why yawning happens,but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way.First you open your mouth slowly.Your mouth stays open for about five seconds.You take in a lot of air and then push it out.Then you quickly close your mouth.We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn,you yawn,too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired.That might be true.People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up.However,we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous.Olympic runners,for example,often yawn before a race.Why is that Scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly.When you yawn,you breathe deeply.You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face,mouth,and neck.Your eardrums stretch,too.Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries,people think yawning is not nice.People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn.In other countries,people think yawning is healthy.They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in.When they breathe out,they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning.That is probably because yawning does not hurt.It is just something we do.
(A)51.What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Able to spread(传播)quickly.
B.Able to change easily.
C.Able to sleep quickly.
(B)52.Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race

B.A yawn can help a warm brain cool down.

C.Different ideas about yawning.
(C)54.What can we probably infer from the passage
A.People use different ways to yawn.
B.Scientists will do further research on yawning.
C.Some scientists think yawning is good for people.
C
Old age may not sound exciting.But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact,they say by the age of 85,people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone.At that time,the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions,like happiness,sadness and worry.They also asked about mental(精神的) or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone led the study.His team found that levels(水平) of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped quickly after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that,as people grow older,they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings.So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed(被解雇)or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect(影响)the levels of happiness.
(A)55.Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage
A.Those who are worried about getting older.
B.Those who are single and unemployed.
C.Those who feel unhappy all the time.
(B)56.The underlined word “emotions” means ______.
A.agreements B.feelings C.examples
(C)57.According to Arthur Stone’s idea,old people may ______.
A.have more free time to enjoy life
B.know how to spend money wisely
C.be more thankful for what they have
(C)58.What would be the best title for this passage
A.The Younger,the Happier
B.The Young Are Happier than the Old
C.Getting Older Means Getting Happier

Old age may not sound exciting.But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact,they say by the age of 85,people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone.At that time,the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions,like happiness,sadness and worry.They also asked about mental(精神的) or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone led the study.His team found that levels(水平) of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped quickly after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that,as people grow older,they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings.So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed(被解雇)or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect(影响)the levels of happiness.
