If yu are nt satisfied with yur wn pht, what can yu d? Yu can use apps n yur mbile phnes t change phts f yurselves. Then yu’ll lk perfect in the pht. This is called airbrushing. These days, with the develpment f technlgy, it’s difficult t find a pht f a persn in a magazine which hasn’t been “imprved” by airbrushing.

Luckily, there are plenty f peple wh want t change things. Actress Meghan Markle and Singer Palma Faith have bth spken ut abut nt liking magazines t airbrush their phts.

Yawning(打哈欠) is smething we all d—maybe because we’re tired r we are nt interested in the same ld things. Smetimes, just seeing ther peple yawn can make us yawn, t. But why des it happen like this?
Many f us think we pen ur muths when we yawn t take in mre air, but in fact it appears there is n clear bilgical reasn. Accrding t BBC Bitesize, a new research suggests it might be because yawning cls the brain(大脑) dwn and stps it frm yawn getting t ht, much like the fan in the cmputer. This might be why we’re mre likely t feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we might yawn mre when we’re very tired and ready fr a shrt sleep, and we can cntrl urselves when we d it. Yawning is smething that we can’t stp. It happens whether we want t r nt. Once we start, nthing culd stp us! It’s als true that yawning is a cntagius behavir. Jhn Drury, a researcher frm Sussex University, tld BBC, “Dgs yawn when their wners yawn, and animals yawn t each ther” His research f this behavir fund that it is related t ur scial grup and hw clse we are t these peple, and that we are likely t cpy their behavir.
Anther research by the University f Nttingham in 2017 fund similar results. They asked vlunteers t watch ther peple yawn. They fund peple’s ability t stp yawning was limited(限制) when thers arund them yawned. They als fund when peple were tld nt t yawn, r using electrical stimulatin(电), their desire(欲望) t yawn wuld increase. These findings culd be useful, the researchers said, because it might help treat ther cnditins like Turette’s(儿童抽动症), which invlves the same area f the brain.
What is certain is that the act f yawning can happen at any time even when we think we’re nt tired.
()38. Accrding t BBC Bitesize, the reasn why we yawn might be__________.
A.ur brains need t exerciseB.ur brains need t be cled dwn
