When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know more about it. There is wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad on what people are curious about.
Curiosity is silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They are to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are bringing home or taking out or they have come home so early or late.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do，mine．Her name was Mrs. White．And I thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White， she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin．
I don't remember much about what we in her class，but my mother once told me that we used to a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many ．But no red corrections．And always a star．Sometimes a Good!But it my mother，so one day when she met Mrs．White at a Parent-Teacher meeting，she asked her why she never my mistakes．Why she never red-pencilled in the right of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
And Mrs．White said“The children are just beginning to get about using words，about forming sentences．I don't want to dampen that enthusiasm with ink．Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words …”I grew up learning to use words with loving like that．
I now and think she must have been a rather teacher—to exercise such red-pen restraint(克制)，to the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower— however faultily—like that，because to bloom is better than not to bloom.
I used to beautiful a lot．Never could quite remember that the e went the a．Eventually the e and a settled into their right places．I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs．White I felt no about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out．Because Life isn’t Pretty．It’s Beautiful．

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were . Every day, my husband and his brothers would go about the hard of trying to get water to the fields. If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything.
It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and a miracle﹙奇迹﹚. I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He wasn’t walking as usual, but with a serious purpose. He was obviously walking with great effort, trying to be as as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the , he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later he was once again walking in those slow purposeful steps towards the woods. He kept doing this for about an hour. Finally I decided to him on his journey.
He was cupping﹙使成杯形﹚ both hands in front of him as he walked, being very not to spill the water he held in them. Then I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground, suffering from dehydration（脱水）, lift its head with great effort to lap up(舔食) the water cupped in my boy's hands.
When the water was , Billy jumped up to ran back to the house. I was there in front of him. His eyes just filled with . "I'm not wasting water" was all he said and I hugged him tightly.
As the tears that my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops… more drops… and more. I looked up at the sky. It was raining!
Some will probably say that this was nothing but a huge . All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.
