When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is 31 wrong with curiosity(好奇) in itself. Whether it is good or bad 32 on what people are curious about.
Curiosity sometimes can be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are 33 of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They have a strong wish to know what they are 34 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 35 or late. To be interested in these things is foolish because it is none of their business to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also 36 . For most probably, it may lead to a small talk 37 often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect (不尊重) to others, and thus 38 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a 39 curiosity --- the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they 40 learn about them. Columbus could 41 have found America if he had not been 42 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine (蒸汽机) 43 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid (水壶盖). All the discoveries in human history have been made as a 44 of curiosity, so the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 45 or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
31. A. anything B. everything C. nothing D. something
32. A. keeps B. puts C. takes D. depends
33. A. full B. certain C. proud D. careful
34. A. taking B. bringing C. going D. coming

My parents passed away ten years ago and I miss them terribly. But I know they are with me every day in what they taught me and in the 36 they gave me. Every morning my father’s message to me was: Remember that 37 you walk out of this door, you carry responsibility, the good name of this family, the hopes and dreams of your mom and dad. My mother often urged me to 38 the high standards she set for me.
When I was in high school, I played in a rock band with friends in my class. We were devoted and practiced constantly. We moved past the guys – in – a – garage stage and 39 to be pretty good, doing getting – paid gigs (演奏会) most weekends, which made me 40 . At that time, though part of me was 41 up in that band, another part of me was the oldest son in the Clark family, 42 of my origin and a dedicated student busy applying to colleges. Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in, 43 I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and 44 goals. I was running on parallel 45 .
When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes – we might be able to make it big. However, I began to feel 46 . I realized I was on quite different tracks: I 47 was becoming two people, 48 identities back and forth depending on who I was with. I had to make an option. As I considered my 49 , my parents’ words were right there, helping me to see that my dreams weren’t about signing a record deal, letting my hair grow, and living in a tour bus. So I 50 out. My bandmasters were 51 . They thought I was crazy to withdraw 52 the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my 53 , with my feeling of what I was 54 to do, with who I was – it simply wasn’t me.
In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and 55 . I could remember who I was – the hopes and dreams I carried.
