Whats up with ice-cream headaches? Here are answers to these and other questions about our bodies.Why do I get a headache when I eat ice cream too quickly?Scientists arent exactly sure what causes the brain freeze when we eat ice cream or other super cold foods too quickly, though some believe its the result of changed blood .flow in the nervous system. Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let blood flow rise; that sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache. You can improve an ice-cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue across the roof of your mouth to help warm up things.What causes my stomach to make a low continuous noise when Im hungry?Actually, your stomach makes noise whether youre hungry or full; you just hear it more clearly when youre hungry. Think of your digestive tract(消化道)as a really long tube lined with smooth muscle tissue. These muscles move food, fluids and gas through your digestive tract. _. It can make you feel embarrassed(尴尬的)but is nothing to worry about.Why do I blush when Im embarrassed?When youre embarrassed, your brain releases a shot of adrenaline(肾上腺素), which makes your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size. All this happens to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body in a fight-or-flight reaction(对抗反应). There are a lot of tiny blood vessels in your face, which turn noticeably redder from this sudden rush of blood. As for the actual function of blushing, researchers are still trying to find that one out.Why are yawns contagious?Have you ever yawned in front of someone, only to have them yawn right back? Its a common thing, but researchers dont have a good explanation for it. They do, however, know this happens only with humans and chimpanzees(黑猩猩). A bigger question puzzling scientists is why we yawn at all. It used to be thought that yawning showed that oxygen to the brain was not enough, but thats just a myth. A growing body of research now shows that yawning is natures way of keeping our brains cool.（1）What is the meaning of the underlined word tighten? A . 变松B . 变紧C . 变短D . 变长（2）Which of the following sentences can be filled in the blank? A . And thats what youre hearing when your stomach makes noise.B . And thats why youre so hungry when your stomach is emptyC . And thats what makes you feel uncomfortable when youre full.D .

Researchers have found out the actual function of blushing.C . Your stomach makes noise only when you are hungry.D . Researchers dont have a good explanation for why yawns are contagious.（4）What is the best title of the passage? A . Some Interesting FactsB . Our Strange BodyC . Some Useful DiscoveriesD . Our Amazing Feelings9. （10分）阅读下列材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently， and it gives me a special joy.A few months ago， I was telling my daughter， Sally， some stories about my mother.
