Do you often ask questions? Children are known for wanting answers to many questions because curiosity (好奇心) is part of human nature.
As we all know, curiosity has many advantages (好处). Many great discoveries (发现) in history were made by curious people. People wondered how things worked and how work could be done more quickly. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them. Even if you don't plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the curiosity of learning, classes will become more interesting and you will do well in schoolwork. Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you an able worker.
★ Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes. To improve your curiosity, get information from as many sources (来源) as possible, when you learn about a topic. At the same time, read all kinds of books, watch or listen to speeches and ask questions. Don't always get information in the same way. Instead, learn to understand the facts that different people know.
Don't assume you already know everything. Remember, everyone knows something that you don't know. Find out what it is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other people happy by sharing their knowledge. Let's try to become people who are full of curiosity.
