| It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. 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 has found. Kids with autism (自闭症)are half as 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 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 in a group. | |
| 1. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs? | |
| A. It is impossible to stop yawning when you see others yawn. B. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God. C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. D. Yawning is a form of communication. | |
| 2. According to Molly Helt, ________. | |
| A. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not B. yawning helps clear ears on planes C. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others D. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans | |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning? | |
| A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn. B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others. C. Yawning can be used to test children"s development. D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. | |
| 4. According to the author, infectious yawning________. | |
| A. has a positive effect on social relationships B. is helpful in curing people of autism C. helps people develop their brain D. is most useful in group work | |
| 5. The author implies in the last paragraph that________. | |
| A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions B. yawning can make people feel relaxed C. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory D. the more you yawn, the more you will become nervous and stressful | |

| One of my longestrunning battles (战役)with my kids is about manners specifically about whether it"s necessary to send handwritten thankyou notes for gifts.I told my children it was a must so they have continued throughout their teens to write the notes,but they always grumble (发牢***)that I"m out of step with the times. If a BabyCenter"s survey is a guide,I"m not alone.A surprisingly large number of parents still insist (坚持)that their children practice some oldfashioned manners such as putting pen to paper to say thank you,and treating adults with respect. Among the reasons,the one provided most often by parents,according to BabyCenter"s report,is that they see so many badly behaved kids around them that they"re determined to raise their children differently,and meanwhile,many parents agree that"the world is a more freewheeling place,and they want to give their kids a stronger moral compass (道德的罗盘)to guide them"． This creates a particular challenge for parents for the reason that they have to find a sitter,nanny or other childcare providers who will insist on the manners they consider most important but the fact is that it is very difficult to find the right person. Perri Klass wrote recently in the New York Times about her annoyance at a rude,demanding boy Perri Klass wrote,"I do pass judgment"on kids with bad manners "and so do other pediatricians (儿科医生)who do the same work as me" since rude kids make them wonder whether the kids" families are moral.The whole "manners"concept (观念)might seem a bit oldfashioned,she says,until you accept it as a hotbutton childdevelopment social skills. 1．What do the author"s children think of writing thankyou notes? A．Interesting. B．Oldfashioned. C．Necessary. D．Tiring. 2．From the second paragraph we know that________. A．sending thankyou notes for gifts is unnecessary B．BabyCenter is an organization which sells books C．many parents hold the same opinion as the author D．it is the author that did the survey on the Internet 3．What made the parents pay attention to their children"s manners? A．The latest fashion. B．The author"s suggestion. C．BabyCenter"s new survey. D．Some children"s bad behaviors. 4．Why is it a challenge for some parents to teach their children good manners? A．Because they can"t stay with their children all the time. B．Because their children dislike the oldfashioned manners. C．Because they have difficulty in finding suitable teachers. D．Because they themselves are not good at good manners. 5．It can be inferred from the text that________. A．Dr Klass is impressed badly by some parents B．Dr Klass cares little about children"s manners C．Dr Klass is a doctor who treats child patients D．Dr Klass often writes articles for newspapers |
