|传染性打哈欠|说明文|356|★★★★★|9 分钟|____分钟|____/5|
After you see somebody else yawn (打哈欠), your mouth opens wide and a big yawn comes out. __1__ Is it only a coincidence (巧合)? In fact, this is called contagious (传染性的) yawning.
Contagious yawning doesn't depend on your brain. It's just like a reflex (反射动作) you don't have to think about. Scientists say that it only starts around ages four or five. At that time, kids begin to develop better empathy (同理心). __2__ In this view, when someone sees another yawn, he follows as if experiencing the same tiredness or stress.
__3__ That explains why you're more likely to catch a yawn from your best friend or family member than from a stranger. It also supports the idea that empathy plays a big role in contagious yawning. The less empathy someone has, the less likely they are to yawn back. Contagious yawning can also help people build social connections (联系) with each other. __4__ It also works well on some animals like dogs and chimpanzees.
What happens in the brain when we catch yawns? Your brain has special cells called mirror neurons (镜像神经元). These neurons become active when you see someone do something, and they make you feel like doing the same thing, like yawning. __5__

A. You aren't especially tired, but it still happens.
B. In fact, yawning is not just a sign of sleepiness.
