But is yawning really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?Many of us think we open our mouth
28、s when we yawn to take in more oxygen (氧气), but in fact it appears there is no clear reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your computer. This might be why were more likely to f
29、eel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures. What is clear is that we yawn more when were very tired and ready for a short sleep, and we cant control when we do it once we start, theres no stopping us! But its also true that yawning is a very contagious behaviour. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex U
30、niversity, told the BBC, “Yawning is something that you cant stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn. Animals yawn at each other. It happens whether you want to or not. ”His research into this behaviour found that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it. I
31、f we identify with (认同) the person who yawns, we are likely to copy it too. Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to prevent yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And th
32、e desire (渴望) to yawn was increased when people were told they couldnt. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were able to increase peoples desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful because it could help treat other conditions like Tourettes (儿童抽动症), whic
33、h involve the same area of the brain. What is certain is that the act of yawning can happen at any time even when we think were not tired but, I hope, not when youre reading this article!27.

36、nt of studying yawning. DSeparate Boys and Girls at SchoolJack White is a 17-year-old student who has already published a collection of poetry with a local publisher. Jack believes switching (转换) to an all-boys school changed his life. “When I was at my coed (男女同校的) school, poetry was for girls, not
37、 boys. Boys were supposed to like subjects like math, computers, and science. When I wrote poems, the boys at school used to make fun of me. At my new school, things are different. Jack may not realize that boys and girls also learn and think differently based on specific (特有的) biological developmen
38、ts. These differences have an effect on how and when boys and girls learn, so single-sex (单性别的) education is actually better for children. Take, for example, brain development. The areas of the brain involved in language, feelings, physical coordination (协调), and social relationships develop in a di
39、fferent order and speed in girls and boys. Teenage girls find it easier to answer the question, “How does the story make you feel?” than teenage boys. Research has shown that teenage girls brains develop the connections between language and emotions earlier than boys brains. A teenage boy will have
40、more difficulty answering that question because his brain has not fully developed that connection yet. In a single-sex classroom, everyones brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach according to their students actual abilities. Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities.
41、 Girls have a sense of hearing which is two to four times better than boys. Women teachers often speak more quietly, so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman teacher if she is talking in her “normal” voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys attention. In a single-sex school,
42、teachers do not have to keep adjusting the volume of their voice. Jack might not notice the biological arguments why single-sex education is better, but he realizes that he is learning faster at his new school. As Jack says, “I hated writing and studying English in my old coed school, but look at me
43、 now, I am a published poet! My new school helped me become comfortable with who I really am. ” 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Girls usually have less opportunities to talk in class in a coed school. B. Jack was laughed at by other boys because he was not good at poetry. C. The part of t
44、he brain that understands our emotions grows slower in boys. D. Boys and girls brains will develop at similar speeds if they study together. 31. What will probably happen in a single-sex school? A. Students will learn and make progress at the same speed. B. Teachers will give lessons based on their
45、students abilities. C. Students will be expected to learn poetry as a main subject. D. Teachers will ask more questions involved in students emotions. 32. The words “adjusting the volume” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “ _”. A. changing the loudness B. increasing the clearnessC. lowering the level D.
46、controlling the speed33. What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain why single-sex education is better. B. To show how a boy became a published poet. C. To compare how boys and girls think differently. D. To discuss the problem of writing poems at school. 第二部分本部分共 5 题, 共
