　　“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. ” —Albert Einstein ,v ,一 A '
　　It’s no secret that curiosity makes learning more effective and    1  . Curious students not only asestions, but also    2    seet the answers. Without    3   , Sir Isaac Newton would have never put forward the laws of physics, Alexander Fleming probably wouldn’t have    4    penicillin (青霉素)，and Marie Curie’s pioneering research on radioactivity may not exist.
　　Curiosity is just as    5    as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity    6    the brain for learning. As we all known, we’re more likely to   7     what we’ve learned when the subject matter interests us. Actually, curiosity also helps us learn information we don’t consider    8    or important. So if a teacher is able to    9    students’ curiosity, they’ll be better prepared to learn things that they would normally consider boring or difficult. For instance, if a student struggles with   10   , personalizing math problem to match their specific interest could help them    11    remember how to go about solving similar math problems in the future.
　　However, scientists think that there are still a few things that remain    12 about curiosity’s role in learning. For one thing, scientists have yet to determine its long-term effects. For instance, if a student’s curiosity is aroused at the    13    of a school day, will it help them better absorb information all day long? Another thing the   14   are keen to investigate is why some people are more    15    curious than others, and which factors most influence how curious we are.
