Yawning is contagious.Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. When a baby is inside its mother, he or she yawns. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. Thats why scientists think yawning is contagious.But why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure. Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Others believe yawning has something to do with breathing(呼吸). When there is too much carbon dioxide( CO2 ) in our bodies, our bodies will tell the brains(大脑) to breathe deeply. That causes a big yawn. In 2007, scientists said people yawned to cool down their brains. These scientists found people yawned more often if they were warmer than others.Scientists are trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.（1）The underlined word contagious in Paragraph 1 means_.

Secondary school teachers said that older teenagers were especially likely to miss out, because the time spent on physical education for 14-16 -year-olds had fallen in the past five years.Teachers said that increased pressure to produce exam results was leading to children being pulled out of PE lessons. One in three said exam pressures were behind the decline, and they said subjects such as English and Maths had been given more time at the cost of PE. Almost all of the teachers from the 487 schools said PE should be more valued for its advantages to young people. Mental health experts also warned that cutting down on exercise could increase childrens mental health problems. Cal Strode, spokesman for the Mental Health Foundation, said cutting PE time would be short-sighted and dangerous. He said, It is worrying to hear that PE is being cut at a time when students are facing problems with stress and anxiety in increasing numbers. Theres a close relationship between mental and physical health.Tom Madders, director of campaigns at charity Young Minds, said, Schools cutting down on physical education because of exam pressures is worrying. Schools that value health also do better in study, so it makes sense to keep good health, rather than putting children under more pressure.Rising exam stress has been raised as a problem by experts who warn that children are under greater pressure because of a competitive jobs market. Ali Oliver, an expert, said, The PE is good for physical and mental health. So cutting down physical education time is depriving young people of these advantages at a time when they need them most.（1）What do we know about the text? A .
