This question has long fascinated researchers who study the human brain. They aim to find out whether such abilities are mainly inborn or developed through practice. One famous study followed a group of preschoolers over many years. The researchers wanted to see how curiosity and continuous learning affect brain development. They found that children who 1 curious about everything around them usually showed faster growth in language and problem-solving skills. Their brains, 2 a muscle, grew stronger with use. However, this doesn’t mean that adults can’t learn new things. In fact, the brain remains capable of change throughout life. A recent experiment with a group of grown-ups showed that they could learn to perform a simple magic trick 3 improving their reaction time. The magician who taught them said 4 this was possible because the brain forms new connections when we practice. But learning isn’t always easy. Sometimes we come across unfamiliar ideas that challenge our understanding. This can be 5 annoying at first. 6 , we mustn’t give up. Our curiosity often leads us to keep asking questions, and this is 7 leads to deeper knowledge. What’s the secret to keeping a curious mind?

During childhood, asking questions such as “Why is the sky blue?” or “How do birds fly?” shows a natural desire to explore the world. This curiosity drives learning and shapes their development in amazing ways. First, curiosity improves learning. When children are curious, their brains become active in searching for answers. For example, a child who wonders how plants grow might read books, watch videos, or even plant seeds to observe the process. This hands-on experience helps them remember information better and builds critical thinking skills. Second, curiosity encourages creativity. Curious kids often try new activities or solve problems in unique ways. Imagine a child experimenting with building blocks: they might fail many times, but each attempt teaches them something new. Over time, they learn to think outside the box and develop creative solutions. Also, curiosity helps children face challenges. Life is full of unknowns, but curious minds see challenges as adventures. Students struggling with math might ask questions, seek help, and practice until they succeed. This builds confidence and resilience. To support children’s growth, parents and teachers should encourage questions, provide learning resources, and let them explore safely. Remember, curiosity is not just about finding answers—it’s about enjoying the journey of discovery. By nurturing curiosity, we help kids become lifelong learners and creative thinkers. In short, curiosity lights the path of growth. Let’s protect this precious gift in every child! 21．What is curiosity compared to in the article? A．A treasure map. B．A dark night. C．A magic key. D．A mystery box. 22．Which question does the article mention as an example of children’s curiosity? A．How do birds fly? B．Why do animals have different colors? C．What causes seasons to change?
