Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
"Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."
Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

In writing a letter of application, keep in that things a possible employer is most to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. the first few sentences fail to the readers’ attention, the rest of the letter may not be at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your in today’s newspaper”. You might say , “I have made a careful of your advertising during the past six months” or “ I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives your product and why they like it”.
Try to generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___ . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ?” in a letter. Employers want experience---which, naturally, no has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent _ is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

You must learn to use your time wisely. You may not see it now, but developing leadership characteristics at a young age is very important. As we get older, it becomes harder to overcome bad habits and replace them with good ones. Possessing leadership qualitiesis essential, both in this life and in the world to come. There are certain qualities that one needs to develop in order to become a leader: justice, judgment, dependability, initiative, decisiveness, tact, integrity, enthusiasm, poise, unselfishness, courage, knowledge and loyalty. You may recognize these as good qualities to have, without realizing how they apply to leadership. The more these qualities are part of your nature, the more productive and enjoyable your life will be. All of these are qualities that one must possess to one degree or another.
Contrary to popular opinion, leadershipis something that is learned. No one is born a leader. We are all capable of exhibiting the leadership qualities mentioned above — some just choose not to. Of course, not veryone can be the “top dog”, let alone all the time. However, everyone does have the capacity to lead in some way — but action is required! Understand that learning is a fact of life—learning to ride a bike, learning to drive, learning to type, learning mathematics, etc. All of these activities require action. While we are born with many different abilities, if we do not use and develop them, those abilities will never come to fruition. Youth is an excellent time to start developing leadership characteristics. Take the time to study each one in detail. Put them into practice as you interact with other people. Determine which areas you are weak in, striving to always improve. Observe the leaders, and how they handle situations and carry themselves. Also, study the lives of great leaders. The results will serve you in this life — and beyond!

| A．one must overcome bad habits at first |

| C．the earlier and the more you develop leadership characteristics, the better it is |
| D．one must know how to apply the mentioned leadership characteristics first |
| A．they are lazy | B．they don’t learn |
| C．they don’t have the qualities mentioned | D．they don’t develop their abilities |
| A．Everyone can be a leader all the time. |
| B．Everyone can not be a leader all the time. |
| C．Nobody can be a top leader all the time. |
| D．Nobody can not be a leader all the time. |
| A．Learn to be a leader. | B．Everyone can be a leader. |
