because it gives you a fresh perspective(视角)and fresh ideas. curious people can see things that many other people cant. so how can you develop curiosity? here are some tips that you can follow:expect things to be fun. instead of expecting things to be boring, expect them to be fun. this small change in your thinking can make a big difference. once you do it, it will be much easier for you to find the fun side of almost anything. and also, more doors of opportunity will be open for you.always have questions in your mind. whenever you deal with a topic, have questions in your mind. find the answers and ask new questions. questions keep your mind engaged (忙于). they can change your learning process from being boring to a treasure hunt. take on a new challenge(挑战).by taking on a new challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (and perhaps to others) that you can make it. one good way to do that is to create a competition with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better.connect new things with what youve already known. things will be more exciting if you can connect what youre learning with what youve already known. why? because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new things that you havent noticed be-fore.add variety(多样性) to your life. find new possibilities by exploring new topics. read books in new fields. meet people from all walks of life. all the advice above can be summarised(概括)in just one phrase: make things fun. how to develop curiositythe importance of curiositycuriosity provides you with a new perspective and new ideas. curious people can often see _55_ things than many other people._56_on how to develop curiosity dont think that things are boring, or one more door of opportunity will be _57_ to you. question things non-stop. questions make your mind work and make your learning process more interesting. take on a new challenge, such as creating a test with your friends. you will want to show that you can succeed. connect what you are learning with what youve already known and you will _58_ the world better. make some changes in your life by _59_ different people and experiencing as many new things as possible. conclusion look for the 18 in things.conclusionlook for the fun in things.第二卷（共40分）六、词汇运用（共8小题；每小题1分, 满分8分）（a）根据句意，用所给词的适当形式填空60. the terrible accident kept them_(wake) all night.61. _(care) may cause big problems, both to others and to yourself.62. tom doesn
