【題目】 Curiosity (好奇心) is part of human nature. Children are known for wanting answers to many questions. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many advantages.

Learning is the easiest if you have a real desire (渴望) for knowledge. Curiosity can create that desire when you want an answer to the question. Many of history's greatest discoveries were made by curious people. People wondered how things worked and how work could be done more effectively. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world. Even if you don't plan to be an 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're no longer a student, curiosity will make you knowledgeable and thus a good worker.

What do you do if you're not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved (提高). If you act like you're curious, you'll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes. As you learn about a topic, find information from as many ways as possible. Read books, listen to lectures and ask questions. Don't always get information in the same way. Instead, learn to appreciate the facts that different people know and ask a lot of questions. Remember, everyone knows something that you don't. Find out what that is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by sharing their knowledge.

A.they are born with natural curiosity

【題目】 When throwing away rubbish, do you know which dustbin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored dustbins on the street?

Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort（分類）your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.

If you don't sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾清理場）and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of rubbish, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting campaigns（活動）in recent years. for example, Shanghai announced in 2018 that within three years（2018—2020）, all the people living in Shanghai should sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Many other Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, are using this method to sort their rubbish. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their rubbish.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子正（T）、誤（F）。

【1】If you know how to sort waste, it will help us save energy and protect the environment.

【2】Shanghai will achieve the goal of sorting their rubbish into four groups in 2020.

【3】The food that we haven't finished eating at home belongs to recyclable waste.

【4】Many cities in China are doing waste-sorting work nowadays.

【5】The passage mainly tells us how to recycle rubbish.
