It is the desire to know more, to explore, and to understand the world around us. Throughout history, curious people have made amazing discoveries. For example, Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets. He used a telescope to observe the sky and made many important discoveries about the solar system. His curiosity changed the way people thought about the universe. Curiosity can also lead to personal growth. When we are curious, we are more likely to learn new skills and gain new knowledge. We may try new hobbies, read different kinds of books, or meet new people. All these experiences can broaden our horizons and make us more well-rounded individuals. In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships. When we are curious about others, we show that we care about them. We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their perspectives. This can help us build stronger connections with people. However, curiosity needs to be balanced. We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business, such as other people’s private lives. Also, we should use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble. 61．What is curiosity according to the passage? A．A strong desire to know more. B．A force that makes people lazy. C．A feeling of being bored. D．A way to avoid learning. 62．Who made important discoveries about the solar system because of curiosity? A．Thomas Edison. B．Galileo Galilei. C．Alexander Graham Bell. D．Leonardo da Vinci. 63．How can curiosity lead to personal growth? A．By making us do the same things every day. B．By helping us learn new skills and gain knowledge. C．By making us afraid of trying new things. D．By making us ignore other people. 64．What can curiosity do to our relationships? A．Make them worse. B．Have no effect on them. C．Improve them. D．End them. 65．What should we pay attention to when we have curiosity? A．Be overly curious about everything. B．Use curiosity in a positive way and not be nosy. C．Only be curious about our own lives.

Reaching the TopThe Top of the Trees In a rainforest there are tall trees. The top of these trees is called the canopy. Scientists want to learn about the canopy.

Meg has always liked trees. When she was a child, she made tree houses. She rescued birds that had fallen from their nests. Now, she has climbed to the top of trees all over the world. A Walkway Through the Trees A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees. A walkway is safe and it doesn’t harm the trees. Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea.

A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees. Tower Cranes A tower crane is another way to get to the top. The crane can go up and down. It can go above the treetops. It can go all the way down to the ground, too. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned that there are millions of insects in these treetops. They have learned that these insects are eating the leaves. Adventures in the Treetops Meg and her sons have had many adventures in trees. They have slept in trees. They have even eaten bugs.

Throughout history, curious people have made amazing discoveries. For example, Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets. He used a telescope to observe the sky and made many important discoveries about the solar system. His curiosity changed the way people thought about the universe. Curiosity can also lead to personal growth. When we are curious, we are more likely to learn new skills and gain new knowledge. We may try new hobbies, read different kinds of books, or meet new people. All these experiences can broaden our horizons and make us more well-rounded individuals. In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships. When we are curious about others, we show that we care about them. We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their perspectives. This can help us build stronger connections with people. However, curiosity needs to be balanced. We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business, such as other people’s private lives. Also, we should use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble. 61．What is curiosity according to the passage? A．A strong desire to know more. B．A force that makes people lazy.

They want to learn about everything that lives there. It has not been easy to get to the top of these trees. Reaching the Top Meg knows a lot about trees. She is sometimes called Canopy Meg. Meg has always liked trees. When she was a child, she made tree houses. She rescued birds that had fallen from their nests. Now, she has climbed to the top of trees all over the world. A Walkway Through the Trees A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees. A walkway is safe and it doesn’t harm the trees. Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea. Now, they are used by many people. A walkway, however, cannot be made at the very top of the trees. The very top is where many scientists want to go. The Canopy Raft Meg has reached the very top of the trees. One way she loves to reach the top is by a raft. The raft is very light. It is filled with air. It has a huge net on it. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees. Tower Cranes A tower crane is another way to get to the top. The crane can go up and down. It can go above the treetops. It can go all the way down to the ground, too. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned that there are millions of insects in these treetops. They have learned that these insects are eating the leaves. Adventures in the Treetops Meg and her sons have had many adventures in trees. They have slept in trees. They have even eaten bugs.
