Childhood curiosity can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the   31  . He loved to read and often needed to   32   the books he’d read in order to borrow more books. One unintended   33   of his nonstop reading habits was that he even   34   at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to   35   him that, on certain social   36  , reading while dining with others was not a good thing. 
Every summer the teachers at his school   37   give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so   38  , and he always wanted to win. And he often   39  . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so   40  . He didn’t just want to learn about   41   things. He wanted to learn about everything. 
We helped   42   his curiosity in every way.   43   an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the   44  , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the   45   exists somewhere. All you have to do is   46   it.
Bill remains as much of a   47   today as when he was a child, and he seems to   48   everything he reads. He’s often   49   to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He   50   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.
