41、verybody yawns(打哈欠)-from unborn babies to great-grandparents. But why, exactly, do we yawn? 36 One theory is that when we are bored or tired, we just dont breathe as deeply as we usually do. 37 Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood
42、.Yawning, then, would be an involuntary reflex (something we cant really control) to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good, but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not make us yawn less. 37 Hmmm. Now what? 39 Stretching and yawning may be a way to fle
