  When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.

  Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.

  On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

答案:D;B;B;A;C;D;B;A;C;A;B;D;A;B;C;A;C;B;A;D
解析:

(1) be interested in sth.对……感兴趣。

(2) 从上下文的内容看讲的是好奇本身是没有错的。

(3) 好奇本身没有错,但有时也会是silly or wrong

(4) 从下文暗示中可知答案是A

(5) 一量有了好奇好,就急于想知道。

(6) bringing现在分词,从句意看应是带点什么回家。

(7) why指原因。因好奇而想知道别人回家早或晚的原因。

(8) silly“傻的,蠢的”,上文暗示,对这样的小事好奇,这种好奇当然是很蠢了。

(9) unimportant“不重要的”,别人吃什么喝什么这样的事当然是不重要的小事了。

(10) It is none of one's business”是个固定句型,意为“不关心某人的事”。

(11) something 常用在肯定句中。整个句子的意思是:这种好奇不仅是愚蠢的,而且是有害的。

(13) lead to“引起,导致”,既然好奇就会引起谈论。

(14) hurt作“作伤害,疼痛”讲时,可以指肉体上的伤害、疼痛,也可以指心灵感情的伤害。如:①My stomach hurts. His words hurt my feelings.

(15) noble“高尚的,崇高的”。

(16) find out指经过一番努力,查明了真相、事实或打听清楚了某事。此处指:一旦产生好奇,就想搞清它的来龙去脉。

(17) 此处是个虚拟语气句。而实际是Columbus因为好奇才远航去寻找印度,结果去了现了America

(18) 与上文同样的因为Jamesthe raising of the kettle lid产生了好在村里才发明了steam engine

(19) A as a result of…是个固定搭配,意为“作为……的结果”。

(20)however在此表转折,而且常用逗号与其他成分隔开,but也表转折,但其后没有逗号。该句的意思是:好奇应是对人有益的,而不是与人无益的不重要的小事。

Why is it so   50   to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
