1Albert Einstein once said, "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." The greatest inventions in history would be impossible without curiosity.
2 Curiosity can bring new discoveries, Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature, He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he flew a kite during a storm, His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod, This invention protects buildings from lightning.

3 Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration.He was so curious about space that he invented a "flying chair"! He lost his life while testing this invention. Despite the failure, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learnt from his example, and created safer ways to explore space.

4But curiosity is more than just taking risks. It also drives people towards certain goals, Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move He spent years studying the sky and the earth.Finally, he drew China's first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector, His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.

5 As Jacques Cousteau said, "What is a scientist after all It is a curious man looking through a key hole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on." Curiosity is the key, It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world.

It can open the door to new discoveries and inventions.
4.Answer the questions.
3 What other examples can you use to describe curiosity
Thomas Edison is a great example. His curiosity about how to create a long-lastinglight source led him to do thousands of experiments. Finally , he invented the light bulb.Isaac Newton is also an example. His curiosity about why an apple falls from a treeled him to discover the law of gravity(萬(wàn)有引力定律).

Think and share
1 Do you think inventors could work without curiosity
why or why not
I don't think inventors could work without curiosity. Curiosity makes inventors want to create new things. Without curiosity, inventors wouldn't have the wish to find new things and solve problems.
Think and share
2.What are you most curious about
I'm most curious about space exploration. l want to know if there is life on other planets, how big the universe is, and if there are other inteligent(有智力的)beings.I also want to know how astronauts live and work in space.l hope we can find out more about space in the future.
Only keep a strong curiosity,
can you make continuous progress.
Lose the curiosity that moment, the person dies
Thank you!
