17.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 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 behavior.John Drury,a researcher,told 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 that they hardly avoided yawning when others around them yawned.They also found,when using electrical stimulation (刺激),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 (圖雷特氏綜合癥).
