Why do We Yawn
①Do you yawn(打呵欠) 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.
②We 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.
③Many 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.
④Some 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.
⑤In 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.
⑥Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by a German professor Wilhelm Roentgen. People all over the world were amazed by his invention, the X-ray machine. This invention was so important that Roentgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901.
The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a doctor and speech teacher. The first phone call was made by Bell in 1876. He had spilled (溢出) acid (酸), Thomas Watson, to help him. The first words spoken on the telephone were Mr. Watson.
Television was invented in 1926 by John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor. Baird’s television certainly didn’t look like a television today! It was made of a box, knitting needles, a bicycle lamp, and a cardboard disc. Electronic televisions like the ones we have today were invented by Vladimir Zworykin in the 1920s in the United States.
The first computer was built in 1946 by two American engineers, J. Presper Eckert, Jr, and it was so large that it took up an entire (整个的) room!

Do you want to celebrate your birthday in space It would be very different from what you might do on the earth. For example, your birthday cake would be flying. The candles could not be lit because astronauts cannot start a fire in the spaceship. ____46____ Voices are almost the only things that are not changed by being weightless, which means that everything has almost no weight in space.
____47____ Some feel as if they have a cold all the time. That’s because without gravity (引力), the fluids (液体) in their bodies move towards their heads. Their faces look a little fatter. For the same reason, their waists (腰) get smaller and their chests get bigger.
And because gravity is not pressing on the spine (脊椎). The spine relaxes and stretches (舒展). Astronauts grow one or two inches in space. ____48____
Since nothing has weight, astronauts can lift heavy objects easily. ____49____ However, it is harder to stay still（静止的） in space than to move around, so the astronauts always hold onto something or tie themselves to something. ____50____
How different life in space is from that on earth! Do you want to experience the life in space

International Coffee Day falls on October 1st every year. This holiday is used to promote（推广）and celebrate coffee as a popular drink. Do you like coffee And do you know who invented it There are many interesting stories about the origins of coffee. One of them is about the Ethiopian goat herder（牧羊人）Kaldi. One day, his goats ate berries(浆果) from a tree. The man noticed that the animals became very active as a result. After Kaldi told the local monks（僧侣）about this, the monks made a drink from the berries. The drink helped them stay up late for prayers（祈祷）. They then kept drinking it. That berry tree later became known as the coffee tree.
Another story tells of a man named Omar from an ancient city. He was once driven into a desert. The man was very hungry and chewed（咀嚼）some berries from a tree. The berries, however, were too bitter. Omar tried to roast（烘烤）the berries to make them taste better, but in the end they became too hard to chew. So he decided to boil them to make the berries soft. The man ended up creating a brown drink from them. After drinking it, he felt spirited. When Omar later traveled to Mocha（摩卡）, he brought this “magical drink” to the city.
Which story do you believe But anyway, the stories of coffee all ended the same way: The world has had this nice drink to enjoy! It seems that many people all over the world drink coffee. Coffee lovers say that coffee is good for both health and business. What’s your idea
51. What happened to Kaldi’s goats after eating the berries
52. Did Kaldi or the local monks make a drink from the berries
