  What is a yawn(哈欠)and why do people yawn?A yawn is often associated with a person being tired.  1   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.  2  

  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.  3   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 explanation is that the yawning reflex happens when our blood needs more oxygen.The deep breath helps supply the levels of oxygen in our blood.  4   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.  5   Today most people do not believe these superstitions and know that a yawn is a physical reflex.

  Have you ever noticed how your favorite music can make you feel better? Well, new research now shows how music can make you smarter too!

  Scientists at Stanford University, in California, have recently found a basis for the “Mozart Effect”.Dr Rauscher and her colleague H.Li have also discovered that humans perform better on learning and memory tests after listening to a specific Mozart抯 sonata(奏鸣曲).

  For many years, the Center for New Discoveries in Learning has been working on the use of music both in the classroom and while students study.They have found that students hearing Mozart and certain Baroque(巴洛克风格的)pieces felt calmer.Students are able to study longer, have a longer attention span and get better grades according to their teachers.

  These special music pieces, recorded at just the right beat, activate(激活)the brain for the maximum learning effect.The music works on the right side of the brain while the words work on the left side.This increases the learning effect five times at least according to the study.

  When your body hears one of Mozart抯 pieces at one beat per second, your heart rate relaxes to the beat.When you are in this relaxed state, your mind is able to concentrate more easily.When doing heavy mental work, our blood pressure rises so it抯 usually more difficult to concentrate(集中,专注)in this state.The Baroque and Mozart pieces for sale on our site make the most of the “Mozart Effect” as they have been specifically selected for their beat pattern to reduce your blood pressure and increase your ability to learn at the same time.

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their
