READING 1 Listen and read. Why Do We Sneeze? Aaaaa . . . choo! When you have a cold, you often sneeze. Why? Because germs make a home in your nose, and they tickle you! Sneezing is your body’s way of sending germs out of your nose. Many animals sneeze, too! What happens? Your nose doesn’t like the germs, so it sends a message to a part of your brain called the “sneeze center.” The sneeze center sends a message to your muscles. Then all your muscles push hard. Even your eyes push. That’s why you close your eyes when you sneeze. You should have a tissue ready because the sneeze happens very quickly. A sneeze can travel as fast as a car! Some people sneeze when they don’t have a cold. It happens when they go out into the sunshine. They are called “photic sneezers.” Photic sneezing is an inherited trait. It comes from one of your parents. Do you know anyone who sneezes because of the sun?
