二、补全短文
我们总是被告知学习很重要，却很少有人告诉我们，学习也可以很有趣。而学习的乐趣始于好奇心。当学习变成一场由好奇心引领的探索时，它不仅有用，而且会充满令人愉悦的惊喜。
Learning can be exciting when you follow your curiosity! Scientists say curious students enjoy studying more. They can find ways to make school subjects more enjoyable. Here are four easy ways to start with.
●Ask questions.
1 If you study physics, wonder why light travels faster than sound. When learning Chinese, ask why Tang poems remain so popular in modern China. Questions make learning more active and help you understand better.
●Connect lessons to real life.
Find how school subjects are part of your life. 2 English is useful when you travel abroad. Geography can explain weather changes and the environment around us. When you find knowledge is practical, you'll want to learn more.

●Learn outside school.
