When I borrowed my friend's ancient jeep for a trip to the mountain, he assured me【小题1】the vehicle's good condition and I decided to give【小题2】a shot. At first, the drive up to the top of the mountain was smooth, and the magnificent landscape along the road took my breath away. But just minutes before I reached my destination, the smoke started to pour out of the engine. I【小题3】(force) to stop at a small village【小题4】the nearest repair place was miles away. Villagers gathered to look, some even starting to inspect the jeep. An old man patted me on the shoulder, saying, “There【小题5】be a hole in the jacket of the water tank. You just need some green bananas!”

Just as I was puzzled about【小题6】he said, a boy ran to us with green bananas in his arms. The old man cut one in half and pressed one half against the tank. The banana, to my surprise, melted against the hot metal, 【小题7】(cover)the hole instantly. After one more application of the green banana, the villagers waved me goodbye and within an hour, the jeep amazingly made it to the repair place.

This chance experience with the green banana showed me not only the genius of those villagers【小题8】the potential of the green banana. In fact, as I thought about the experience【小题9】(far), I realized that the green banana had been there for ages patiently waiting to be appreciated as more than a common fruit. The green banana taught me that【小题10】we can see the world in a new light, we may discover many more unexpected green bananas.

A few weeks ago, I received a letter. It was from a friend of 【小题1】 (my) who felt a bit down. His life was full of 【小题2】 (problem). He ended his letter to me 【小题3】 this question, “We can’t really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” I answered him quickly and started my own letter with these words, “Yes, we most certainly can!”

I can still remember one of the first times my world 【小题4】 (change) by someone. She was the music teacher at my elementary school, the guitarist at our church, and a family friend.

One day she let me try 【小题5】 (play) her guitar. I did my best but could only perform badly. When I was done, I put my head down. “I guess I am not very good,” I told her. She 【小题6】 (look) at me kindly and said, “We are all good at something. You just need to find out the things 【小题7】 you are good at.”

【小题8】 (lucky), those simple words changed me. Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it and make it better every single day of your life. I realize that I had something to give to others. All you have to do is share your 【小题9】 (kind) and it can make 【小题10】 difference then.

Curiosity is part of human nature. Children want answers 【小题1】 tons of questions. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many 【小题2】 (practice) benefits.

Many of history's greatest 【小题3】 ( discover) were made by curious people. People wondered how processes worked or how certain tasks could be done more 【小题4】 (effect). Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and obtain useful technology 【小题5】 ( help) themselves.

Even if you don't plan to be 【小题6】 inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, classes will become more fun. Even if you are no longer a student, curiosity will make you better 【小题7】 (inform) and thus a more capable worker. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the 【小题8】 (interest) it becomes.

Thus, ask a lot of questions. Remember, everyone knows something 【小题9】 you don' t. Find out what that is, and ask about it.

In the classroom or out of 【小题10】 ,developing curiosity is sure to be worthwhile.
