What do you say when you pick up the phone?

You say “hello”, of course.

What do you say when someone introduces a friend, a relative, anybody at all?

You say “hello”.

“Hello” has been for a long time considered to be the standard English language greeting since English people began greeting. But is that true?

It may be the most spoken word on the planet and the English word that most people learn first. The word is so familiar to us that it's surprising how new it is: “hello” has only been in use for about the last 200 years of the 1000-year history of English.

The Oxford English Dictionary says the first published use of “hello” goes back only to 1827. But it wasn't mainly a greeting back then. People in the 1830s said “hello” to attract attention (“Hello, what do you think you're doing?”), or to express surprise (“Hello, what do we have here?”).

But the true breakthrough for this now-common word was when it was used in the service of brand-new technology: the telephone. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was Thomas Edison who put “hello” into common usage. He asked the people who used his phone to say “hello” when answering—which required people to address an unseen and unknown person. It was simpler and more efficient (高效的) than some other greetings used in the early days of the telephone, such as “Do I get you?” and “Are you there?” However, the actual inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, thought that the better word was “ahoy”, which turns out to be much longer—at least 100 years longer—than “hello”. It too, was a greeting from the Dutch (荷兰语) “hoi” meaning “hello.” For his entire　　 life, Bell insisted on answering the phone with “Ahoy.”

“Hello” obviously caught on, and spread along with the telephone. Had it not been for Edison, our greetings might be very different today. It could be possible that we are still greeting people with “Ahoy” when picking up the phone.

1.How long has “hello” been used in the 1000-year history of the English language?

2.What was the purpose of people saying “hello” in the 1830s?

3.Who put “hello” into common usage?

4.What word did Bell prefer to use when answering the phone?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

What is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn（打哈欠）？You want to yawn, too! Yawning is contagious.

Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. That’s why scientists seem to think yawning is contagious.

It’s no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure.

Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Recently scientists studied two groups of students between the ages of 17 and 19. One group watched music videos, and the other watched a boring color test. Scientists compared the numbers of their yawns and found that the color test group yawned more times than the video group.

Another reason for yawning has to do with breathing. Some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. As our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of （去除）enough carbon dioxide, our bodies will tell the brains（大脑）to breathe deeply. The result is a big yawn.

In 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. They said that the reason why people yawned was to cool down their brains. These scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often.

Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, almost everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.

1.The underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 1 means _________.

A. helpful to our health

B. passing from one person to another

C. hard to understand

D. getting into one trouble after another

2.According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are _______.

A. born        B. one year old    C. 17 or 19 years old    D. inside their mothers

3.Which of the following are the possible reasons for yawning according to the passage?

①People yawn because they are bored    　

②People yawn to catch others’ attention

③People yawn to cool down their brains    　

④People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide.

A. ①②③            B.②③④            C.①②④            D.①③④

4.We can probably read this passage in a ____________

A. storybook    B. travel guidebook        C. movie poster    D. science magazine
