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. That’s why scientists seem to think yawning is contagious.
It’s 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. Recently scientists studied two groups of students between the ages of 17 and 19. One group watched music videos, and the other watched a boring color test. Scientists compared the numbers of their yawns and found that the color test group yawned more times than the video group.
Another reason for yawning has to do with breathing. Some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. As our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of （去除）enough carbon dioxide, our bodies will tell the brains（大脑）to breathe deeply. The result is a big yawn.
In 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. They said that the reason why people yawned was to cool down their brains. These scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often.
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, almost everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.

When the traffic lights turn red, we will stop driving a car or crossing a street. Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors?
As we know, scattering (散射) happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒质), if the wavelength islong, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will be long.
Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther on rainy days.
Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas sec the lights. It helps drivers stow down or stop in lime. If drivers don"t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happen Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red. In a word, red lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.
小题1:When the traffic lights turn ______, we will stop driving a car.
A. red B green C. yellow
小题2:According to the passage, the scattering of the red light is the _______.
A. longest b. weakest C. farthest
小题3:The underlined word "wavelength" means________ in Chinese.
A.波浪 B.光波 C.波长
小题4:What can the red light help drivers do?
A. It can help drivers in farther areas see the lights.
b. It can help drivers slow down or stop in time.
C. A and b
小题5:Which of the following is the best title?
A. Why do accidents happen
b. How does the red light travel
C. Why do we use red traffic lights

Nowadays, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters (字). People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.
At present, China is trying to help pupils and teachers to improve their writing with the help of information technology. With the technology, it is hoped that teachers can write their teaching contents (内容) on the blackboard and students can respond by writing, too.
The Chinese character test shows that nowadays, many college students’ handwriting has become worse. Many college students do not know how to compose (组成) words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, many adults also have met the same problem. They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out the character in detail (详细地), they can’t. On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer.
In the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of certain technologies. Actually, apart from（除了）technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing.
小题1:People often make a lot of mistakes in writing Chinese characters because ________.
| A．they use computers too often and many people have forgotten how to write them |
| B．Chinese characters are too difficult to write |
