Curiosity is the engine of intellectual achievement—it’s what drives us to keep learning, keep trying and keep pushing forward. But how does one stimulate(激发) curiosity in oneself or others?
"Curiosity arises," Loewenstein, a professor of psychology, wrote, "when attention becomes focused on a gap(缺口) in one’s knowledge. Such information gaps produce the feeling of deprivation(剥夺) labeled curiosity. The curious individual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce the feeling of deprivation." Loewenstein’s theory helps explain why curiosity is such a great motivator: it’s not only a mental state but also an emotion, a powerful feeling that drives us forward.
A scientist called Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often so eager to get to the answer that they do not devote enough tune to developing the question. Being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going. Instead of starting with the answer, begin by asking the students a question that interests them—one that opens an information gap.
George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. We’re not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about. But as soon as we know even a little bit, our curiosity is excited and we want to learn more. In fact, research shows that curiosity increases with knowledge: the more we know, the more we want to know.
Language teachers usually use a similar idea in exercises that open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it. For example, one student might be given some pictures showing the beginning of the story, while the student’s partner is given some pictures showing how that same story ends. Only by speaking with each other can the students fill in each other’s information gaps.
1.When one notices a gap in his or her knowledge, the curious person_______.
A. desires to fill it
B. tends to give it up
C. may be unwilling to admit it
D. will ignore it and move forward
2.Which of the following is Daniel Willingham’s opinion?
A. Answers are more important than questions.
B. Teachers know how to stimulate students’ curiosity.
C. Interesting questions can help stimulate students’ curiosity.
D. Teachers should allow students to ask more questions in class.
3.What do we know about curiosity in Paragraph 4?
A. It is of importance.
B. It needs more knowledge.
C. It is excited when we learn more.
D. It increases with growing knowledge.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A. The Importance of Curiosity
B. How to Stimulate Curiosity
C. Curiosity and Language Learning
D. How to Teach Foreign Languages
