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).

In 2007, scientists said people yawned to cool down their brains.

Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west. So these children become satellite kids, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a satellite kid.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the satellite kids problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a satellite kid means growing up in such a country, where you know you are different and you cant make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up alone, because your parents are not there.（1）Satellite kids refer to （指代） the Asian kids .
