阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you’re yaw饺子和汤圆
ning with him, though you’re not tired.
This phenomenon confud scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that tho children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are cloly linked with states of internal(内部的) respons,” he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we’re in a group, the signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surpri, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.”
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchroni and when we like the other per
son, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting—it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
