"Life's a long，long journey." so we are told，and most of us would not set off on a journey，even a short one，without some ideas of where we wanted to go.Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.

"I have no special talent.I'm only passionately curious. " This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success.When Newton discovered gravity，and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb，their curiosity was greatly satisfied.If they hadn't been curious，what a loss for humans!
There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity （求知欲）contributes to school performance more than intelligence.Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long ﹣ term level of learning and memory，and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.
It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged.Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity，most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food，our brain looks for knowledge.People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.
An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure﹣related chemical when it has been given new information ，making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity.Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.However，how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.
Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity，including scientific curiosity，more research should be carried on in this field.It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity.And remember even though the idiom says "Curiosity kills the cat"，it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.
（1）What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us？
A.The importance of being curious.
B.The advice from successful people.

A.It often requires long﹣term training.
B.It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.

（3）Which of the following ideas is generally accepted about curiosity？
A.Human curiosity comes when they want to change results.
B.It is natural and common among humans and animals.
C.It is often related to some adventurous activities.
D.Animals' curiosity appears with hunger.
（4）What does the author mean in the last paragraph？
A.Curiosity takes many different forms.
B.People may make mistakes because of strong curiosity.
C.Curiosity makes people dissatisfied with their present situations.

Where does your food come from？How is it made？These days，many people worry about food safety．But food safety is not a new worry．In 1906，Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle．The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago．It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared．People were so worried that the U．S．started testing food．
These days，most food in the world is safe．Laws control where food comes from．They also control how food is managed and prepared．Laws are important． But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed．A good food safety system（系统）keeps people safe．It also helps them eat healthy food．Labels（标签）on food give people important information．Then they can make good choices about their food．
Although food safety systems usually work，there can be problems．Sometimes mistakes are made．For example，a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream．The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it．Other problems are not mistakes．Sometimes companies break rules to make more money．When this happens，people don't know if their food is safe．
As we all know，food is closely related to our daily life．We should take actions to make food safer！
