Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. Thats why scientists think yawning is contagious.Its no secret that 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. When there is too much carbon dioxide(CO2) in our bodies, our bodies will tell the brains 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 still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, immediately everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too. （1）The underlined word contagious in Paragraph 1 means_. A . helpful to our healthB . passing from one person to anotherC . hard to understandD . getting into one trouble after another（2）According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are_. A . bornB . one year oldC . 17 or 19 years oldD . inside their mothers（3）Which of the following is NOT RIGHT according to the passage? _ A . People yawn to catch others attention.B . People yawn because they are bored.C . People yawn to cool down their brains.D . People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide.（4）We can probably read this passage in a_.

Then you will have time to read other books for fun. You read so well that you always want to look for more books to read.If you want to be a writer， reading is very important. When you decide to become a writer， you had better tell yourself， “I must read more and more if I really want to become a good writer.”（1）Some children want to be writers because they _.

It was 1993, but I can remember my mothers words as if it were yesterday. “Jessica, I dont want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasnt something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 11, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.We couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldnt even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teachers words muffled as I was thinking how I was going to manage.I didnt share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die. But after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit (非营利的) National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 14 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didnt want to call attention to AIDS. I do.（1）What does Jessica tell us about her father? A . He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.B . He depended on the nurses in his final days.C .

Jessica couldnt understand her teacher.（3）Why did Jessica keep her fathers disease a secret? A . She was afraid of being looked down upon.B . She thought it was a shame to have AIDS.C . She found no one willing to listen to her.D . She wanted to obey her mother.（4）Whats the meaning of the word “cruel” in Paragraph 4? A . 惨淡的B . 无情的C . 粗鲁的D . 痛苦的（5）Why did Jessica write the passage?
