一、阅读理解
Curiosity affects everything from our relationships to our education,but it's not easy to study it.With the help of Wikipedia though,researchers have now done just that,exploring two main types of curiosity.
The resulting study was able to divide the individuals into two previously identified types,as far as curiosity goes:the ‘busybody’ who explores a lot of diverse information,and the ‘hunter’ who stays on a more focused track when it comes to gaining knowledge.
“Wikipedia allowed both introverts(内向的人) and extroverts to have equal opportunity in curious practice,a limitation in other studies of curiosity,while the adfree search engine allowed individuals to truly be captains of their own curiosity ships,” says biophysicist Danielle Bassett,from the University of Pennsylvania.
By recording pages as nodes(节点) and analysing how closely they were related,Bassett and her colleagues were able to find both busybodies and hunters in their pool of volunteers—those who tended to jump all around Wikipedia and those who were more likely to stay on closely related pages.
However,the participants didn't always stick to one type of behaviour or the other,and to find out why the researchers used a wellbeing questionnaire given to the participants before the study began,covering topics like seeking out social interaction and tolerating stress.Based on the surveys,a need to fill specific knowledge gaps seemed to drive hunterstyle behaviour,while a desire to seek out brand new information was an indicator of a busybodystyle of Wikipedia browsing(浏览)—taking larger leaps(跳跃) between nodes or pages.“We assume that a switch from hunter to busybody style might arise due to sensation seeking,or the tendency to pursue novel and exciting information,” says Bassett.
These findings can be useful in a number of ways,including in informing approaches to teaching.Curiosity is also linked to emotional wellbeing:People who are more curious tend to be more satisfied with life and less anxious.By making sure information is available in ways that are accessible,we can encourage curiosity and promote contentment at the same time.
1.Why did the researchers use Wikipedia to do their study?
A.It could arouse a higher level of curiosity.
B.It charged no fees for browsing information.
C.It enabled introverts to switch to extroverts.
D.It caused no disturbance to study participants.
2.What did the researchers find out about busybodies?
A.They took smaller leaps between pages.
B.They tended to browse loosely connected information.
C.They were anxious to narrow specific knowledge gaps.
D.They were more likely to stick to their type of behaviour.
3.What may drive hunters to become busybodies?
A.The desire to seek novelty.
B.A reduction in sensation seeking.
C.A wish to know likeminded individuals.
D.The need to dive deeply into a certain topic.
4.What's the consequence of promoting people's curiosity?
A.Wellrounded individuals.
B.Increased feelings of contentment.
C.Greater ability to figure out problems.
D.More chances to become top teachers.

Getting Quality Sleep Is Important
For us students who are now at a critical stage of growing up,quality sleep provides both mental and physical benefits.It not only relaxes our mind after a whole day of busy study at school,but it helps us keep a clear mind so that we can be more energetic during the daytime.
Since I entered middle school,I have formed the habit of taking a nap after lunch,and by doing that I can have a clear mind and stay focused on the lessons in the afternoon.Besides,I never stay up too late at night.
For your health's sake,I suggest you create a daily schedule for yourself and follow it strictly.I am sure it will be good for your study and health as well.
