It makes us want to learn new things and helps our brain take in information better. Curious people are usually more active and happy. 　　Curiosity can also help us solve problems. When we meet a difficult problem, we may come up with new ideas if we keep asking questions. Many great inventions were born because their inventors were curious about the world around them. 　　However, some people think that curiosity is less important than before. They spend too much time on their phones and seldom ask questions. This is a pity. A good way to keep our curious mind is to read widely and travel more. We should never stop exploring the unknown. 1. According to the passage, curiosity is ______.　A. a bad habit　B. an inborn ability　C. a phone game　D. a big problem 2.

Third, curious people are usually more active and happy. 　　To keep a curious mind, I plan to read widely, ask more questions and never stop thinking. I believe that with curiosity, I can discover a bigger and more wonderful world.
