When I was eight years old, I spent a few weeks of the summer at a Girl Scout camp called Camp Redwing — a place where the scenery was beautiful. My friends and I were all excited about the day’s creek hike.
When one person in the group ___1___ a slug (鼻涕虫), we were all excited. We gathered around pushing each other to be in the front with the best view. And that’s when one of the counselors told us that when you lick (舔) a slug, your ___2___ goes numb. Then the counselor caught it and began ___3___ it around. When the slug made it way to me, my ___4___ took over and I decided to lick it. It was slimy (黏的) and cold, but not as disgusting as I expected. ___5___, it did not numb my tongue; the numbing chemical must have been ___6___ by the time it reached me. The enthusiasm I had to try it out and learn something new is a feeling that has stuck with me since.
When we’re kids we want to know everything. We bother our parents with ___7___ questions of “Why?” and we try everything in school. But as we grow up and reach high school, then college, curiosity seems to ___8___ a lot.
Now, when I feel myself losing the passion for learning, I remembered to lick the slug — whatever the slug is in that moment. I’ll do anything that ignites that same enthusiasm in me, and I ___9___ what other people think about it. I know that my childlike curiosity is something I don’t want to _____10_____ up, and I try to bring it to the surface as much as I can.
