When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know more about it. There is _1_ wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad _2_ on what people are curious about.
Curiosity is _3_ silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They are _4_ to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are bringing home or taking or _5_ they have come home so early or so late. To be interested in these things is _6_ because they are not all important. It is none of their _7_ to know what neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is _8_ not only foolish but also harmful. For most probably, it leads to small talk which often brings _9_, shame or disrespect to others, and thus hurt their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a noble curiosity, the curiosity of the wise, who _10_ at all the great things and try to find out all they _11_ about them. Columbus could _12_ have found America if he had not been curious, James Watt would not have made the steam engine _13_ his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the great discoveries and inventions in human history have been made as a result of curiosity. _14_ the curiosity is never about unimportant things, which have _15_ or nothing to do with the happiness.

The average man who uses a telephone couldn’t explain how a telephone works. He takes for granted the telephone, the railway train , the airplane, as our grandfathers took for granted the miracles of the gospels(福音书里的奇迹). He neither questions nor understands them. It is as though each of us investigated and made his own only a tiny circle of facts. Knowledge outside the day’s work is regarded by most men as a gewgaw(花哨无用的东西)．Still we are usually in reaction against our ignorance．We excite ourselves sometimes and think deeply．We enjoy thinking about anything at all一about life after death or about such questions as is said to have puzzled Aristotle．“Why sneezing from noon to midnight was good，but from night to noon unlucky”．One of the greatest joys known to man is to take such a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge．The great pleasure of ignorance is．after all．the pleasure of asking questions．The man who has lost this pleasure or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma(教义)，which is the pleasure of answering，is already beginning to stiffen(僵化)．One envies so inquisitive(好盘根究底)a man as Jewell，who sat down to the study of physiology in his sixties．Most of us have lost the sense of ignorance long before that age．We even become proud of our squirrel’ store －house of knowledge and regard increasing age itself as a school of omniscience (无所不知)．We forget that Socrates was famous for wisdom not because he was Mr. know-all but because he realized at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing．
57．The underlined part “made his own” probably means“ ”．
A．produced something by himself B．made believe by himself
C．made his own way D．found out the truth by himself
58．From the passage we may infer that ．
A．the writer values those who often ask “why”
B．the writer regards these who like asking “why” are very silly
C．the writer is against the idea that one is never too old to learn
D．the writer is for the idea that one should know everything
59．From the passage we can see the most joyful the writer think is ．
A．to master useful knowledge B．to know a great deal just as Socrates
C．to seek the truth D．to learn at one’s sixties
60．The best title of the passage is ．
A．Socrates is Ignorant to Learn B．Seeking Knowledge Makes One Happy
C．To Learn the Miracles of the Gospels D．To Learn Is Asking for Trouble
