know that everyone yawns in the same way.First you open your mouthslowly.Your mouth stays open for about five minutes,then you close yourmouth quickly.33333我们知道打哈欠是有传染性的或者易传染。当你看到有人打哈欠的时候,你也会打哈欠,很多人说他们打哈欠是因为很无聊或者很累。这可能是真的,然而我们知道当人们兴奋或者紧张不安的时候他们也会打哈欠,参加奥运会跑步项目的运动员,比如说 在赛跑之前运动员经常会打哈欠,为什么呢We also know that,yawning is contagious or catching.When you see someoneyawn,you also yawn,many people say that they yawn because they are verybored,or tired.This might be true.However we know that people also yawn,when they are excited or nervous,Olympic runners,for example,often yawnbefore a race.Why is that许多科学家认为打哈欠让你更加警觉。当你打哈欠时,你呼吸更深,你还伸展你脸部和脖子上的肌肉。可能这让你感觉更加警觉。Some scientists believe that yawning makes you more a alert,when youyawn,you breathe moredeeply,you alsostretch your musclein your faceand your neck.Maybe this makes you feel more alert.科学家不花费时间研究打哈欠。那可能因为打哈欠不会伤害人,它只是我们做的某事。Scientists do not spend time studying yawning,that is probably becauseyawning does not hurt.It is just something we do.第二单元 第二课为什么人们会大笑Why do people laugh你每天会大笑吗大多数人会这样做,科学家说这些人笑的次数大约一天17次,那是很多笑声。Do you laugh everyday Most people do.Scientists say that
