The warning is designed to improve international efforts to protect emperor penguins.The action also requires the government to take steps to reduce their threats. Shaye Wolf is the climate science director for the US-based Centre for Biological Diversity.She said emperor penguins need "immediate climate action"in order to survive."The penguin's life depends on whether our government takes strong action now to cut climate-heating fossil fuels()and prevent harm to life on the earth,Wolf said. )11.What can we know about emperor penguins?

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(具有感染力的).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(伸展)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. ()16.Which of the following is NOT the reason for us to yawn?
