After youre calm and you have support from adults and friends, its time to get down to business. You need to figure out what the problem is. Even if you cant solve it all, you can solve a piece of it. Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). If you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, youll help yourself feel better even faster. These steps arent magic, but they do work.

You want to yawn, too! 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_.
