Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.第 8 页 共 34 页Why arent you curious about what happened?A“You suspended Ray Rice after our video，” a reporter from TMZ challenged National Football
30、 League Commissioner Roger Goodell the other day. “Why didnt you have the curiosity to go to the casino （赌场）yourself?” The implication of the question is that a more curious commissioner would have found a way to get the tape.BThe accusation of incuriosity is one that we hear often, carrying the sug
31、gestion that there issomething wrong with not wanting to search out the truth,” have been bothered for a long time about the curious lack of curiosity,” said a Democratic member of the New Jersey legislature back in July, referring to an insufficiently inquiring attitude on the part of an assistant
32、to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie who chose not to ask hard questions about the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal. “Isnt the mainstream media the least bit curious about what happened?” wrote conservative writer Jennifer Rubin earlier this year, referring to the attack on Americans in Ben
33、ghazi, Libya.CThe implication, in each case, is that curiosity is a good thing，and a lack of curiosity is a problem. Are such accusations simply efforts to score political points for ones party? Or is theresomething of particular value about curiosity in and of itself?DThe journalist Ian Leslie, in
34、his new and enjoyable book Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It, insists that the answer to that last question is Yes. Leslie argues that curiosity is a muchoverlooked human virtue, crucial to our success, and that we are losing it.EWe are suffering, he writes, from a “seren
35、dipity deficit.” The word “serendipity” was coined by Horace Walpole in an 1854 letter, from a tale of three princes who “were always making discoveries, by accident, of things they were not in search of.” Leslie worries that the rise of the Internet, among other social and technological changes, ha
36、s reduced our appetite for aimless adventures. No longer have we the inclination to let ourselves wander through fields of knowledge, ready to be surprised. Instead, we seek only the information we want.FWhy is this a problem? Because without curiosity we will lose the spirit of innovation and第 9 页
37、共 34 页entrepreneurship. We will see unimaginative governments and dying corporations make disastrous decisions. We will lose a vital part of what has made humanity as a whole so successful as a species.GLeslie presents considerable evidence for the proposition that the society as a whole is growing
38、less curious. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, the rise of the Internet has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the readers borders. But not everything is to be blamed on technology. The decline in interest in literary fiction is also one of the causes identified by Leslie. Readi
39、ng literary fiction, he says, makes us more curious.HMoreover, in order to be curious, “you have to be aware of a gap in your knowledge in the first place. Although Leslie perhaps paints a bit broadly in contending that most of us are unaware of how much we dont know, hes surely right to point out t
40、hat the problem is growing: “Google can give us the powerful illusion that all questions have definite answers.”IIndeed, Google, for which Leslie expresses admiration, is also his frequent whipping boy (替 罪羊 ) He quotes Google cofounder Larry Page to the effect that the “perfect search engine” will
41、“understand exactly what I mean and give me back exactly what I want.” Elsewhere in the book, Lesliewrites: “Google aims to save you from the thirst of curiosity altogether.”JSomewhat nostalgically (怀旧地)，he quotes John Maynard Keyness justly famous words of praise to the bookstore: “One should enter
42、 it vaguely, almost in a dream, and allow what is there freely to attract and influence the eye. To walk the rounds of the bookshops, dipping in as curiosity dictates, should be an afternoons entertainment.” If only!KCiting the work of psychologists and cognitive (认 知 的 ） scientists， Leslie criticiz
43、es the received wisdom that academic success is the result of a combination of intellectual talent and hard work. Curiosity, he argues, is the third key factorand a difficult one to preserve. If not cultivated, it will not survive: “Childhood curiosity is a collaboration between child and adult. The
44、 surest way to kill it is to leave it alone.”LSchool education, he warns, is often conducted in a way that makes children incurious. Children of educated and uppermiddleclass parents turn out to be far more curious, even at early ages, than第 10 页 共 34 页children of working class and lower class famil
45、ies. That lack of curiosity produces a relative lack of knowledge, and the lack of knowledge is difficult if not impossible to compensate for later on.M Although Leslies book isnt about politics, he doesnt entirely shy away from the problem. Political leaders, like leaders of other organizations, sh
46、ould be curious. They should ask questions at crucial moments. There are serious consequences, he warns, in not wanting to know.NHe presents as an example the failure of the George W. Bush administration to prepare properly for the aftereffects of the invasion of Iraq. According to Leslie, those who ridiculed former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his 2002 remark that we have to be wary of the “unknown unknowns” were mistaken. Rumsfelds idea, Leslie wri
