Different people feel stressed in different ways. Some ways of dealing with stress-like screaming or hitting someone-dont solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, or even a beloved pet, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:Get support. When you need help, talk to a trusted person, such as a parent or a friend. They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a lovely pet. Dont take it out on yourself(拿自己出气). Remember that there are always people to help you. Dont take it out on yourself. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough(倒霉的)situation. Try to solve the problem. 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. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone. （1） All the kids feel stressed in the same way. （2） Screaming or hitting someone are two best ways of dealing with stress. （3） Talking to a beloved pet can help you deal with your stress. （4） If there is nobody can help you, you should take it out on yourself. （5） When you have a problem, you should try to solve it. 14. （8分） 阅读理解 A lovely rabbit, a cute hamster, some colourful fish, a strange-looking turtle, a snake.

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_.
