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

完形填空
Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.
Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent(才能)at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline(纪律)problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.
Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 . But now they are getting close to understanding how learning disabilities start. Brain researchers have some new equipment. These machines 17 pictures of the brain while in 18 . They're learning a lot already by examining the brains of the people who have been 19 and who have learning disabilities. It is reported that some of these damaged brain cases are 20
like the picture we see all the time on the learning-disabled cases where we don't know the cause.
