Yawning is contagious.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. Thats why scientists think yawning is contagious.Its 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 healthB . passing from one person to anotherC . hard to understandD . getting into one trouble after another（2）According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are_. A . bornB . one year oldC . 17 or 19 years oldD . inside their mothers（3）Which of the following is NOT RIGHT according to the passage? _ A . People yawn to catch others attention.B . People yawn because they are bored.C . People yawn to cool down their brains.D . People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide.（4）We can probably read this passage in a_. A . story bookB . movie posterC . science magazineD . travel guidebook15. （10分） If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.（1）Someone cant have a good memory if _.A . he cant read or writeB . he doesnt use his memoryC . his parents havent a good memoryD . he doesnt use his arms or legs for some time（2）If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _.A . you cant use them any moreB . they will become strongerC . they become weak but they slowly become strong againD . they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again（3）Which of the following is TRUE ?A . Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legsB . Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practiceC . Dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memoryD . A good memory comes from less practice（4）Few people know that it is only _ if a friend has a poor memory.A . his own faultB . his parents faultC . his teachers faultD . his grandmothers fault（5）The writer wants to tell us _.A . how to use our arms or legsB . how to read and writeC . how to have a good memoryD . how to learn from the people四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)16. （5分）根据下面的对话内容，在横线上填入恰当的句子，使对话通顺，结构完整。A: Hello, Cindy! _B: Im fine, thanks.A: _B: My favorite subject is science.A: _B: Because its difficult but interesting.A: _B: Mr. Lin is my science teacher.
