Why Do We Yawn?
Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch(强化) the muscles(肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.

三、阅读表达
Ahh...aaahhhhchooo! That sneeze(打喷嚏) is uncovered, and so the germs(细菌) fly through the air. But have you ever wondered about the germs in your body? They are small organisms(有机体) that live inside us. Germs are alive and they can cause us to get sick. It is impossible to keep germs out of our bodies. They are so tiny that we do not even know they are coming inside our bodies. The only way we know that germs have made us sick is when we begin to feel uncomfortable.
Germs are usually spread through the air. They come out in a sneeze, a cough, or a breath. They can also be spread by saliva(唾液), sweat, or blood. Sometimes, they come from touching something. For example, a person can touch his or her nose and then touch a tap in a public restroom. If someone else touches that tap right away, he or she can pick up these germs. How can you protect yourself from germs? The most important way to do this is to wash your hands. Soap and water are germs' enemies. They wash the germs away. This is why it is so important to wash your hands throughout the day. Hands should be washed for about twenty seconds.
Staying healthy also keeps germs away. This means getting enough rest and not being too tired. It also means eating healthy food and exercising. These are germfighting secrets!

Dear_Mr.Wang,
I_am_Li_Hua._I_am_glad_to_know_that_you_are_in_need_of_some_tour_guides. I'd like to be one of them. I think I am suitable for the job.
First of all, I am friendly and patient. I am active in many activities. Besides, I speak English well and have won several prizes in English speaking competitions. I am also good at telling stories. So I can introduce local culture to foreigners in English. Most importantly, I have visited the beautiful village many times and I can help foreigners better understand the life of the village.
I would be thankful if I could be given the chance.
Yours,
