What is a yawn(哈欠) and why do people yawn? A yawn is often associated with a person being tired. People yawn for many reasons including stress, boredom, emotion and overwork.
Have you noticed that yawning seems to be contagious (会传染的)? If one person yawns, this appears to cause another person to yawn.Researchers have found that 40-60% of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn themselves.

Superstitions about yawning have been around for hundreds of years and can date back to the ancient Greeks.A common superstition says that a person must cover his or her mouth when yawning so that the soul does not escape through the mouth.

Big climate changes in the last million years might have come from something very small: dust from outer space.
Earth changes between ice ages and warm periods in a(n) ____ that includes several cycles, including a ___ one that lasts 100,000 years. Scientists ____suggested this cycle might be due to changes in the inflow of cosmic(宇宙) dust.
The idea is that Earth ___above and below the imaginary plane that runs through the sun and Jupiter(木星), completing a cycle every 100,000 years. So maybe it encounters ___varying amounts of dust during each cycle that produce the climate trend.
Now there is some ____, from ancient cosmic dust recovered in ocean-floor drilling near the Azores islands west of Portugal. The large quantity of the dust rises and falls with a wonderful 100,000 year cycle during the period analyzed, 253,000 years to 458,000 years ago. Periods of more dust are related to____ climates.
But that is a long way from showing that the dust ____ climate. Some scientists argue that it is not clear how cosmic dust would make the climate warmer while dust from volcanoes is known to make it cooler. They say the cosmic dust is so thin that it is hard to see how it could have any climate____.
Nevertheless, the new study shows scientists have to take the cosmic dust idea seriously.
