Childhood curiosity（好奇） can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the 36 . He loved to read and often needed to 37 the books he’d read in order to borrow more books. One unintended 38 of his nonstop reading habits was that he even 39 at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to 40 him that, on certain social 41 , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.
Every summer the teachers at his school 42 give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so 43 , and he always wanted to win. And he often 44 . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so 45 . He didn’t just want to learn about 46 things. He wanted to learn about everything.
We helped 47 his curiosity in every way. 48 an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the 49 , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the 50 exists somewhere. All you have to do is 51 it.
Bill remains as much of a 52 today as when he was a child, and he seems to 53 everything he reads. He’s often 54 to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He 55 reads at the dinner table, though — which is a good thing because the books he’s attracted to now are increasingly unappetizing (引不起食欲的): The Eradication of Infectious Diseases, Mosquitoes, Malaria & Man, and Rats, Lice, and History.
