Paragraph 1
Paragraphs2-4
Paragraph 5
1. Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special
talents. I am only passionately curious.” The
greatest inventions in history would be impossible
without curiosity.
1. 阿尔伯特 爱因斯坦曾说：“我并无特殊才能，
只是充满了强烈的好奇心。” 没有好奇心，历
史上那 些伟大的发明便不可能出现。

not any
Find out the theme of Paragraph 1 .
The writer proves by using a quote.
2. Curiosity can bring new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin
is a great example. He was drawn to electricity and had a
deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research to
try to understand it. For example, he flew a kite during a
storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod.
This invention protects buildings from lightning.
2. 好奇心能带来新的发现。本杰明 富兰克林就是一个很好
的例子。他被电所吸引，对电的本质有着浓 厚的好奇心。
他做了大量研究来试图理解电。例如，他在暴风雨中放风筝。
他的好奇心促使他发明了避雷针。这项发明能保护建筑物
免受雷击。
Read carefully and solve the problems .
3. Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu,
the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so
curious about space that he invented a “flying chair” ! He lost
his life while testing this invention. Despite the failure, his
curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learnt from his
example, and created safer ways to explore space.
3. 好奇心也能让人变得勇敢。就看看明朝的太空探索先驱万
户吧。他对太空充满好奇，以至于发明了 “飞椅”！他在测试
这项发明时失去了生命。尽管失败了，但他的好奇心为后来的
探索者提供了思路。 人们从他的事例中学习，创造出了更安全
的太空探索方式。
4. But curiosity is more than just taking risks. It also drives
people towards certain goals. Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist
and inventor, was curious about the world: how did everything
in the world move He spent years studying the sky and the earth.
Finally, he drew China's first star map, and invented the first
earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists
today.
4. 但好奇心不只是意味着冒险。它还能驱使人们朝着特定
目标前进。中国科学家、发明家张衡对世界 充满好奇：
世界上的万物是如何运动的？他花了数年时间研究天空和大地。
最终，他绘制出了中国第 一张星图，还发明了第一台地震仪。
他的好奇心至今仍影响着科学家们。

The writer proves by giving examples.
5 As Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all It is
a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature,
trying to know what's going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens
one door after another for us to discover a new world.
5 正如雅克 库斯托所说：“说到底，科学家是什么样的人呢？
不过是一个透过自然的锁孔窥视，试图了解其中奥秘的好奇之
人罢了。” 好奇心就是那把钥匙。它为我们打开一扇又一扇门，
去发现一个全新的世界。
The writer proves by using a quote and a metaphor.
Find out the theme of Paragraph 5
1. What words of famous people does the writer use in the passage What are their effects
2. What door can the key of curiosity open
3. What other examples can you use to describe curiosity
Work in pairs
The writer uses Albert Einstein's and Jacques Cousteau's
words. Their words help us understand the importance
of curiosity.
It can open the door to a new world.
I would use Linus Pauling's words, "Satisfaction of one's curiosity
is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life."
