二、阅读理解B篇(主题:好奇心 难度:★★★ 建议用时:8分钟)
“I have no special talent. I'm only passionately curious. ” This
famous sentence from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his
success. When Newton discovered gravity(引力), and when Thomas
Edison invented the light bulb(灯泡), their curiosity was greatly satisfied.
If they weren't curious, what a loss for the world!
It's true that curiosity helps students learn better than being smart.
Curiosity has an influence on the long-term(长期的) level of learning,
and many positive results have a lot to do with curiosity.

for food, our brain looks for knowledge. People and animals are thirsty
for knowing things.

chemical(化学物质) when we give it new information. It makes looking
for information much like eating — another good activity. Researchers
also found that the chemical also influenced the curiosity of animals.
However, how exactly the chemical plays a part is still not clear.
People are studying curiosity and what drives it, and we should do
more research on this. It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help
understand curiosity better. And remember: even though people say
“Curiosity kills the cat”, it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.
