阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

　　So far, we have discussed some of the brain disorders that make different skills unusually difficult to learn． Last week , we told how schools can help．

　　Today, we discuss something that is not considered a learning disability itself． We include it in our series because it can interfere with (妨碍)learning． Our subject is attention deficit disorder, or A．D．D．A related form is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder－A．D．H．D．

　　These are some of the signs of one or both： children cannot sit still and control themselves． They talk too much, and do not seem to listen． They lose things, forget easily and are not able to finish tasks．

　　Many of us experience problems like these at one time or another． But people with A．D．D．or A．D．H．D say that it interferes with their lives and threatens (威胁) their chances for success． One woman says it is like having twenty televisions in her head , all on different programs．

　　Doctors say the cause involves chemical balances in the brain． It can affect (影响) not only school performance, but also personal relationships and the ability to keep a job． Many people with A．D．H．D are also found to have a learning disability or suffer from depression．

　　Doctors have to prove what A．D．D or A．D．H．D is． There are drugs to help the chemical balances in the brain． These drugs calm people down, so they can finish tasks． But there are also possible side effects．

　　Drugs alone are not enough． Other important parts of treatment include providing a supportive environment． Students need to learn organizational skills, better use of time and different ways to study． They often need some extra time to take tests, and individual (单独的) help from concerned adults． Experts say children who make problems in class may not find their schoolwork interesting enough or difficult enough．

       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．

      Some people think that yawning is rude and suggests that you are bored or uninterested．Maybe a yawn is a signal to a group that it’s time to go to sleep, or if someone yawns when they're bored, it may be a sign to change the topic of conversation． Animals of all types yawn．If you have a dog or cat, you've probably seen your pet yawn several times．Even some birds yawn such as cockatiel parrots, Adelie penguins and Emperor penguins．

      Some of the scientific explanations of why we yawn claim it is caused by physical needs．One likely explana??tion is that the yawning reflex happens when our blood needs more oxygen．The deep breath helps supply the levels of oxygen in our blood． It is also thought that the same chemicals in our brain that affect our moods and emotions cause us to yawn．

       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．  Today most people do not believe these superstitions and know that a yawn is a physical reflex．

       A．Did you yawn while reading this article?

       B．Yawning is not limited to humans．

       C．It will make you lose interest in your work．

       D．But this is not always the cause for a yawn．

       E．Even reading the word YAWN can make people yawn．

       F．However, it doesn't mean that you need rest or relax??ation．

       G．Other people believe that yawning is a sign that danger is near．

       H．Another common theory is that a yawn helps regulate our body temperature．
