Every weekend, we take our chicken eggs and put them in our incubator (孵化器). But last weekend, only eight of our 12 eggs hatched (孵出小鸡).”Again, the teacher asked for the moral. Lucy answered, “Dont count your chickens before they hatch.”Next up was little Johnny. “My uncle Ted was drunk one day and he told me a story. He fought in a war many years ago and his plane was shot down over an enemy area. He jumped out of the plane with only a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a sword (剑).On the way down, he drank the bottle of whiskey. Then, he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy soldiers. He shot 70 of them with his machine gun, but then he ran out of bullets (子弹)! So he pulled out his sword and killed 20 more. Then the sword broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands.”The teacher and other students looked shocked (震惊).

Why, for example, are yawns（呵欠）contagious（传染的）? 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.27 . What is the meaning of the underlined word tighten?A变松B变紧C变短D变长28 .
