Dogs yawn (打哈欠) for many reasons. Sometimes they do it when they are tired, sometimes when they are stressed, and sometimes when they see someone else yawn. In fact, studies have shown that yawning is a complex behavior that can serve many different purposes.
For example, yawning has been shown to increase alertness and vigilance in both humans and animals. Dogs use yawning for much more than just showing tiredness; it is also an important form of communication! When puppies see their mother yawn, they often respond in kind. This behavior helps them to build social bonds with one another and strengthens the connection between the pup and the parent. Additionally, this act increases lung capacity (肺活量) which helps your furry friend regulate body temperature.
There is still much mystery about the purpose of yawning, but it is clear that it plays an important role. For dogs, yawning is a way to cool down the brain. Dogs don’t sweat like humans do, so they depend on panting (喘气) to regulate their body temperature. But panting can only do so much, and in hot weather, their brains can get overheated. Yawning helps to circulate the air around the brain and brings in cooler air from outside. In addition, when a dog yawns, the muscles in the face and jaw contract, which helps to release tension and relax the whole body.
Just like humans, dogs can yawn when they’re tired or stressed. In fact, a dog’s yawn is often a sign that they need a break. If your dog starts yawning more than usual, it’s important to take notice and see if there are any other changes in their behavior. For example, if they’re also panting heavily or pacing back and forth, it could be a sign that they’re feeling anxious. However, if your dog yawns after a good walk or a play session, it’s probably just because they’re sleepy. While occasional yawns are common and healthy for dogs, excessive amounts can raise some red flags about their wellbeing.
4. How many purposes of yawning are mentioned in paragraph 2
A Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
5. What does the author want to say by mentioning “panting” in paragraph 3
A. Dogs pant to relax their whole body.
B. Dogs have difficulty panting in hot weather.
C. Dogs cool down their brains by panting heavily.
D. Dogs need to yawn to cool down besides panting.
6. What does it mean if your dog can’t stop yawning
A. It wants to go outside. B. It feels very annoyed.
C. It may be rather tired. D. It may be in bad health.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why do dogs yawn
B. How do dogs regulate body temperature
C. The ways dogs display tiredness and stress
D. The relationship between dog yawning and its health
C
Ten years ago, when Kelik Suparno heard the song of a bird, he thought of money. A single bird could bring him much at a busy market. Today, he listens for the same sound with a new purpose. As a nature guide in Java, he introduces visitors to his favorite bird. Suparno, once a hunter (猎人), now earns a living by protecting these birds, showing that change is possible.
Indonesia has become the center of what experts call the Asian songbird crisis (危机). Across the country, the illegal (非法的) trade of wild birds puts at least 26 kinds of birds in danger. The crisis is worsened by the growing popularity of birdsong competitions, where owners of caged (笼中的) birds compete for prizes. These events attract thousands each year and have created a nationwide market. As a result, wild bird numbers drop fast, raising fears that many birds could vanish in the near future.
For centuries, keeping songbirds has been a tradition in Java. Today, up to 84 million caged birds are believed to be kept on the island. For many, birds stand for success and bring a sense of peace. In Yogyakarta, the cultural “soul” of Java, waking to the sound of a bird’s gentle call is considered a good thing. This culture, however, now stands in direct conflict(冲突) with the need to protect wildlife.
Some keepers and competition organizers are starting to act. They encourage people to use birds born in cages, not those taken from the wild. Special notes are put on young birds to prove where they come from. Such measures are seen as key steps in cutting down the need for wild songbirds. Yet problems remain, as many buyers still believe wild-caught birds are better singers.
Environmental experts point out that the future of Indonesia’s birds cannot rest on a few villages or keepers alone. From hunters and traders to bird lovers and policymakers, everyone’s taking part matters.
8. What does Suparno do for a living now
A. He trains nature guides. B. He focuses on bird protection.
C. He holds bird competitions. D. He sells home-raised birds.
9. What does the underlined word “vanish” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Disappear. B. Grow. C. Compete. D. Return.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of wild birds. B. The rules in the birdsong competition.
C. The challenges facing the bird keepers. D. The way to stop wild birds being caught.
11. What can be known about bird protection in Indonesia
A. It remains hopeless. B. Everyone has a role to play.
C. Hunters should give up traditions. D. It sets a good example to others.
D
At a Beijing press conference on Friday, March 14, 2025, Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke about China-US technology competition, using stories and sayings to share China’s ideas. His words came after Chinese AI company DeepSeek showed new breakthroughs, proving China’s growing skills in AI.
“China will fight through the toughest barriers in tech,” Wang said, telling the story of Nezha, a Chinese myth hero. “Nezha challenges heaven’s rules with perseverance, just like we keep innovating,” he explained. He quoted an old Chinese saying: “No mountains can stop a mighty river.” This means: cooperation, not walls, let innovation grow.
“Building high fences and small yards won’t stop our spirit,” Wang added. “Cutting supply chains only hurts ourselves.” Wang stressed that science and technology should be “shared treasures for all humanity,” not tools to divide. Citing China’s space missions and AI advancements, he noted, “Our innovations are meant to be shared. Just as ancient Chinese sailors sailed the seas to exchange knowledge, today we aim to explore the stars and oceans together.”
His message connected with global calls for cooperation. “Technological progress should build bridges, not walls,” said a European official present. As the world faces climate change and healthcare challenges, Wang’s words emphasized China’s belief that innovation blooms in open environments.
12. What is the main idea of Wang Yi’s speech
A. To introduce China’s latest AI achievements
B. To show China’s determination in tech innovation and cooperation
C. To criticize the US for blocking China’s tech development
D. To share Chinese traditional stories and sayings
13. Why did Wang Yi mention the story of Nezha
A. Showing China’s rich cultural heritage
B. Proving the popularity of Chinese myths
C. Symbolizing China’s spirit of breaking through difficulties
D. Comparing ancient and modern China
14. What does the phrase “high fences and small yards” refer to in the speech
A. Physical barriers in real life
B. Limitations on international tech cooperation
C. China’s traditional courtyard architecture
D. Environmental protection measures
15. According to Wang Yi, how should countries deal with technological progress
A. By competing with each other
B. By building walls to protect their own interests
C. By working together and sharing achievements
D. By focusing only on their own development

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. Asad didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
