What is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn? You want to yawn, too! Yawning iscontagious.

Scientists have found that all people yawn. 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. That's why scientists think yawning is contagious.

It’s 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 health B. passing from one person to another

C. hard to understand D. getting into one trouble after another

2.According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are__________.

A. born B. one year old C. 17 or 19 years old D. inside their mothers

A. story book B. movie poster C. science magazine D. travel guidebook

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always sent me to a store with a long shopping list. How could I hope to find all these things? In the store, there was a tall lady with black glasses on her nose. There wasn’t a smile on her face.

“Excuse me,” I said. She looked down and said, “I’m Miss Bee.”

“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go to get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to some shelves. “There’s no one here, only you and me, so get yourself a basket and get all these things yourself.”

That summer I visited Miss Bee twice a week. Sometimes she gave me wrong change. One afternoon I corrected her, “That bag of beans is only twenty-nine cents!”She just looked at me over her glasses and changed the price. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I got into the store just like General Patton getting into North Africa.

Soon I learned how to find the product on the shelf… At the end of the summer, the shopping trip only took me 15 minutes. Before I left, I stopped in the store to get some candy.

“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” Before I could answer. Miss Bee laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don’t care! My job is to teach every child some life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad you ever met Miss Bee. Haha!...”

I didn’t think of her words. Years passed, one day my daughter came to me with her homework. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”

“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store and I knew what I learned from the old lady that summer.
