We all know the importance of curiosity, and here are some tips on how to develop it.

Keep an open mind. This is essential if you are to have a curious mind. Be open to learning, unlearning, and relearning things. 1. Therefore, you should be prepared to accept this possibility and change your mind.

2. Most people just accept the world as it is. This way, they will certainly lose the “holy curiosity”. Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions. What, why, when, who, where, and how are the questions curious people always ask.

Don’t label anything as boring. Whenever you label something as boring, you close one more door of possibilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring. 3. Even if they don’t yet have time to explore them, they will leave the door open to be visited another time.

Take learning as something fun. If you see learning as a burden, there’s no way you will want to dig deeper into anything. That will just make the burden heavier. However, if you think of learning as something fun, you will naturally want to dig deeper. 4.

Read diverse materials. It will introduce you to the possibilities and excitement of other worlds which may attract your interest in exploring further. One easy way to do this is through reading diverse materials. 5. It’ll feed your mind with the excitement of a new world.

A. Never take things as granted.

B. Don’t spend too much time on just one world.

C. Try to pick a book or magazine on a new subject.

D. Some things you know and believe might be wrong.

E. It doesn’t matter that you don’t agree to others’ opinions.

F. Instead, they always see these things as a door to an exciting new world.

G. So look at life through the glasses of fun and enjoy the learning process.

She may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.

A 17-year-old student who spent much of high school living around homeless shelters — and sometimes sleeping in her car — today graduated and spoke on behalf of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga., just outside of Atlanta.

Chelsea Fearce held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night.

“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on cushions on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore,” she told WSBTV.

Fearce, one of five children, grow up in a family that sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at other times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one. “You’re worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes and go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it. You eat what you can, when you can.”

To our surprise, Fearce overcame the difficulties and even tested high enough to be admitted into college half way through her high school career. She starts college next year at Spelman College as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-med (醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科). “Don’t give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,” Fearce said.

1.How did Fearce go on with her study without access to lights?

A. By the car light.

B. By her cellphone.

C. By lights out of shelters.

D. By moonlight.

2.When Fearce starts college at Spelman College, she will _____..

A. have graduated earlier from high school than normal

B. be a 17-year-old student from a poor family

C. have a home without sleeping in her car or shelters

D. have raised enough money to go to college

3.What lesson can we learn from Fearce’s experience?

A. Knowledge can change your fate.

B. Don’t give up, and tomorrow will be better.

C. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.

D. He that will not work shall not eat.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015屆山東省鄒城市高三10月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.

“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone ( 腔調(diào) ) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.

The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”

The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.

Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

1.How does the author understand Maxie’s words?

A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.

B. Maxie really worries about the author’s security

C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.

D. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.

B. The salesgirl is bored.

C. The salesgirl cares about me.

D. The salesgirl is rude.

3.By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may _____.

A. give his blessing to you

B. express respect to you

C. try to be polite to you

D. share his pleasure with you

4.According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day”_______.

A. sincerely B as a habit C. as thanks D. encouragingly

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation

B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture

C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting

D. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
