From the thirteenth century up until 1918,Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later Danish monarchies. For
19、 most of that time, the small Icelandic population depended upon fishing and farming to make a living. For hundreds of years,Iceland was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. After World War II,international aid and industrialization of the fishing industry turned Iceland in
20、to one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In 1914,Iceland became part of the European Economic Area .which allowed its economy to grow even more.Iceland is one of the youngest islands in the world.

DIt seems hard to watch someone yawn(打哈欠) and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you
24、do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection.

25、tch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect. Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us togeth
26、er, said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. Yawning may be part of that. Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did. “The
27、 fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others,” she added.
28、“Autistic people never seem to understand that.” Like infectious (有感染力的)laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.32. Wha
