Curiosity 38 can be silly or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are 39 of curiosity about what their neighbours are doing. They are anxious to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so early or late. To be interested in these things is silly because they are not important. It is none of their 41 to know what their neighbours do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful. Most probably, it may 42 to small talk which often brings harm, shame or disrespect to 43 , and thus 44 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a noble (高尚的) curiosity — curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they 45 about them. Columbus would never have found America if he had not been 46 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 47 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid.
