Yawning(打哈欠) is something we all do—maybe because we’re bored carrying out boring tasks or because we’re tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off.
According to BBC, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your computer. This might be why we are thirstier for sleeping and yawning in warm temperatures.
We yawn more when we’re tired and ready for a short sleep, and we can’t control when we do it! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious(传染的) behavior. John Drury, a researcher, told the BBC that “it’s something that you can’t stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn, and animals yawn to each other. It happens whether you want to or not.”
His research into this behavior showed that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it. If we are closely connected with the person who has the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research showed similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found they hardly avoided yawning when others around them yawned. They also found, when using electrical stimulation(刺激), that they were able to increase people’s wish to yawn. These findings could be useful because they could help treat other conditions like Tourette’s(图雷特氏综合症).
What did John Drury say to the BBC
A. Yawning can be controlled.
B. Animals don't yawn at each other.
C. Yawn happens whether you like it or not.
D. You want to yawn when seeing someone yawn.
22. We are likely to yawn when we are ________.
A. getting a little bit cold
B. asked to carry out hard tasks
C. ready to get up every morning
D. closely connected with people who yawn
23. Why could the findings are useful according to the research
A. Because they could help people stop yawning.
B. Because they could be used to treat some diseases.
C. Because they could prevent people from catching a cold.
D. Because they could help people develop good habits.
24. The writer mainly tells us ________.
A. why people yawn
B. how to avoid yawning
C. how to research yawning
D. why yawn could be contagious
25. Where can you most probably find the article
A. In a morning newspaper. B. In a fashion magazine.
C. In a sports poster. D. In a science book.

One possible version:
Paper cutting is one of the folk arts in China, which has a history of more than 1,500 years. People make it with red paper as well as a pair of scissors. The paper needs to be folded first and then cut with scissors. In addition, there are many kinds of patterns in paper cutting, such as flowers, animals, and people or things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival they are put on doors or windows as a symbol of wishes and good luck.
Although paper cutting is not easy to learn, we will try to pass on Chinese traditional culture.
