A. timely first aid B. free drinks and snacks C. breakfast and lunch D. an Internet connectionBPeople are less likely to yawn(打哈欠) when others do as they get older, a study has found.Contagious(传染的) yawning is related more closely to a persons age than tiredness and energy levels, US-based scientists said. Researchers are now looking at whether to catch yawns from other people is a born ability, with the hope of helping treat some mental health disorders. People with some mental illnesses are reportedly less able to catch yawns, researchers said, so understanding the genes(基因) that are connected with contagious yawning could open new paths for treatment. In the study, published in the journal Plos One, 328 participants were shown a three-minute video showing other people yawning. Each participant had to click a button every time they yawned. Overall, 68 percent of the participants yawned. Of those, 82 percent of people aged under 25 yawned, pared with 60 percent of people aged between 25 and 49, and 41 percent of people aged over 50. Dr Elizabeth Cirulli, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, led the study. She said, “This is the first study to look at a large number of factors. It is the largest study, when it es to the number of people participating, till now.” She said she did not know why contagious yawning reduced with age. Dr Cirulli added that although age was the most important predictor(预测器) of contagious yawning, only 8% of the change in whether or not a participant yawned was explained by their age. “Most of change in the contagious yawning reaction was just not explained,” said Dr Cirulli. Robert R Provine, professor of psychology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County, said the study was “special” as it was the first time a link between ageing and contagious yawning had been shown. Prof Provine said the findings could help to understand why laughing and coughing were so contagious. He added, “Contagious acts such as yawning and laughing remind us that we are often mindless to control our behaviour.”4. Why do the researchers carry out studies on yawning?A. To stop yawning from spreading B. To deal with some mental illnessesC. To find out yawning is a born activity D. To help prevent people from yawning5. What can we learn from the study on yawning?A.

What is the best title of the passage?A. New paths for treatment of mental disorders.B. Opinions of professors on contagious yawning.C. Influences of contagious yawning on people.D.

While no one knows for sure how it began, there are many theories.Experts think it starts with the fear of the number 13. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, which is regarded as a plete number. After all, there are 12 months in a year, 12 gods of Olympus, and so on.

Though the date was not the 13th, it happened after the Last Supper, which had 13 guests.When the date and day meet, people suffer from anxiety.
