Do you always yawn when you see other people yawn? A new study from Nottingham University in the UK has done research on this.Researchers found that yawning is contagious (有传染性的)It is a powerful and unstoppable reaction.People automatically want to yawn when they see other people yawning.The researchers said people actually yawn more when they try to stop yawning.The researchers also found that some people have a much stronger urge to yawn than other people.Lead researcher Professor Stephen Jackson said that even reading about yawning could be enough to make people yawn.He said, “When I teach about yawning, I can get most of the students yawning, which doesnt happen for my other lectures.” You might even want to yawn right now.The researchers studied the reactions and brain activities of 36 adult volunteers.The volunteers looked at videos of other people yawning.They then had two choices either to stop themselves yawning or to allow themselves to do so.The volunteers were videoed as they yawned or tried not to yawn.The researchers also monitored the brain activities of the volunteers and checked how strong their feeling to want to yawn was.“There are many theories for why we yawn (e.g., lack of oxygen, to cool the brain, because we are tired, etc.), but the evidence for these is lacking.I still think that much more research is required to understand the function and biology of yawning，” said Jackson.Jackson said understanding more about yawning will help to treat conditions such as dementia (痴呆) and epilepsy (癫痫)He said, “We are looking for potential nondrug, personalized treatments that might be effective in changing imbalances in the brain.”语篇解读：我们为什么会打哈欠？打哈欠为什么具有传染性？英国诺丁汉大学的科研人员正在对此展开研究。此研究意义重大，可以解决医学领域的很多难题。1Most of the students yawned in Jacksons class because _.Ahis lecture was really dull Bhe was teaching about yawningCthey saw others yawning Dthey had a strong urge to yawn解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When I teach about yawning, I can get most of the students yawning, which doesnt happen for my other lectures.”可知，打哈欠具有传染性，当杰克逊教授在上关于打哈欠的课时，大部分学生都会打哈欠，而他的其他课上则不会出现这种情况。故B项正确。2What did all the volunteers do in the study?AThey tried to stop themselves yawning.BThey allowed themselves to yawn freely.CThey monitored their own brain activities.DThey looked at videos and were videoed.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The volunteers looked at videos of other people yawning.”以及倒数第二句“The volunteers were videoed as they yawned or tried not to yawn.”两句可知，参与研究的志愿者们既要看打哈欠的视频，又会被拍摄自己做出的反应。故D项正确。3The last paragraph is mainly talking about _.Athe significance of this researchBthe bad effects of yawningCthe causes of yawningDthe function and biology of yawning解析：选A段落大意题。最后一段提到，了解了打哈欠这种行为后，可以解决医学领域的很多难题，如痴呆和癫痫等，故本段主要谈论这项研究的意义所在。.阅读七选五 The right jobMany young people spend hour after hour considering what to do when they finish school. It is only a few who think about their choice of career (职业) and know what skills will get them there. For the rest of us, its a case of just waiting to see what comes along. _1_ Now, here are a few things which can make choosing a good career a little easier.The first thing you should do is get to know what your interests are. _2_ Are they physical or intellectual (智力的) activities, indoor or outdoor, with other people or alone?It is also important to know what your values and priorities (优先考虑的事) in life are. Whats more important to you? Is it wealth or a comfortable family life? Knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are helps a lot, too. _3_ Do you find problemsolving easy?You may take a gap year (间隔年) between school and university, and work as a volunteer. _4_ Youll also learn new skills and get experience that will prove priceless (极珍贵的) later in life. After all, employers want those experienced and skilled people.Finally, you should never forget that whatever you choose, you dont necessarily have to do it forever. _5_ The important thing is to be satisfied with your life. As work plays such a key part in it, having a good career needs to be a priority.AWhat are you good at?BYou could change your mind whenever you want.CAsk people who are already working in that field.DAsk yourself what kind of activities you enjoy doing most.EThis will give you more time to decide what you want to do.FNow it is becoming more and more difficult to find a good job.GAft
