In daily life, curiosity helps us learn better. A 2014 study 20 that curious people remember information 30% better than others. This is because curiosity makes the brain more 21 to new knowledge. For students, staying curious can 22 them to ask more questions and find answers on their own.

（A）
Imagine you are in a field at night, and suddenly, you see lots of little lights around you. You have just found a gathering of fireflies, and their twinkling lights are like a secret language. This nighttime lights show, especially in the forest, has fascinated people for a long time. Let’s explore the mystery of fireflies.
Did you ever wonder how fireflies make their tails glow The special power of fireflies to make light is called bioluminescence (生物发光), a special ability that some animals, like fireflies, have to create their own light through a chemical reaction. It happens when two chemicals in their bodies combine (结合) and generate a chemical reaction that produces light.
However, why do fireflies need to make light in the dark Now, imagine you are a firefly looking for someone special in the dark. How would you find Mr. or Ms. Right Fireflies use their glowing lights to send “hello” messages to each other. Each kind of firefly has its own special pattern of flashes, like a secret code. They use their lights as an invitation to get to know each other better, so that they can mate and produce the next generation of fireflies.
But fireflies do not just use their lights for conversations. They also use them to stay safe. Imagine you are an adult firefly in the shadows, and a big spider is trying to catch you. What do you do You turn on your light! Your bright glow is like a sign that tells the spider “I taste disgusting. Do not eat me!”

The Power of Curiosity
Curiosity is a powerful force that can drive people to achieve great things. It is the desire to know more, to explore, and to understand the world around us.
Throughout history, curious people have made amazing discoveries. For example, Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets. He used a telescope to observe the sky and made many important discoveries about the solar system. His curiosity changed the way people thought about the universe.
Curiosity can also lead to personal growth. When we are curious, we are more likely to learn new skills and gain new knowledge. We may try new hobbies, read different kinds of books, or meet new people. All these experiences can broaden our horizons and make us more well-rounded individuals.
In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships. When we are curious about others, we show that we care about them. We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their perspectives. This can help us build stronger connections with people.
However, curiosity needs to be balanced. We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business, such as other people’s private lives. Also, we should use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble.
41．What is curiosity according to the passage
A．A strong desire to know more. B．A force that makes people lazy. C．A feeling of being bored. D．A way to avoid learning.
42．Who made important discoveries about the solar system because of curiosity
A．Thomas Edison. B．Galileo Galilei.
C．Alexander Graham Bell. D．Leonardo da Vinci.
43．How can curiosity lead to personal growth
A．By making us do the same things every day.
B．By helping us learn new skills and gain knowledge.
C．By making us afraid of trying new things.
D．By making us ignore other people.
44．What can curiosity do to our relationships
A．Make them worse. B．Have no effect on them.
C．Improve them. D．End them.

71．例文
Curiosity
Curiosity is like a key that opens the door to knowledge. It plays a vital role in both study and life, pushing us to explore and learn more.
For example, last term, I was curious about why plants grow towards light. I asked my biology teacher, read books, and even did a small experiment. Finally, I learned it was due to “phototropism”. This experience not only helped me master the knowledge but also made me more interested in science.
In short, curiosity helps us make progress and achieve success. We should always keep it alive in our hearts.
