When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.
Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very 36 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have 37 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the 38 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 39 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 40 trouble.
I admit that we should keep 41 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 42 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 43 to make things better.
I used to be a(n) 44 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 45 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 46 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 47 me to go to the blackboard and 48 what I knew. If I had 49 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 50 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I 51 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as 52 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 53 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 54 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 55 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.
