1 Albert Einstein once said,"I have no special talents.I am only
passionately curious."The greatest inventions in history would be impossible without curiosity.
2 Curiosity can bring new discoveries.Benjamin Franklin is a great example.He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity
about its nature.He did lots of research to try to understand it.
For example,he flew a kite during a storm.His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod.This invention protects buildings from lightning.

4 But curiosity is more than just taking risks.It also drives people towards certain goals.Zhang Heng,a Chinese scientist and
inventor,was curious about the world:how did everything in
the world move He spent years studying the sky and the earth.
Finally,he drew China's first star map,and invented the first
earthquake detector.His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.
5 As Jacques Cousteau said,“What is a scientist after all It is
a curious man looking through a keyhole,the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.”Curiosity is the key.It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world.

3 Curiosity can also make people brave.Just look at Wan Hu,

He lost his life while testing this invention.
