21、 is theresomething of particular value about curiosity in and of itself?D)The journalist Ian Leslie,in his new and enjoyable book Curious：The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It,insists that the answer to that last question is Yes.Leslie arguesthat curiosity is a much-overlooked human v

22、irtue,crucial to our success，and that we are losing it.E)We are suffering，he writes，from a“serendipity deficit.”The word“serendipity”was coinedby Horace Wal pole in an 1854 letter,from a tale of three princes who“were always makingdiscoveries,by accident,of things they were not in search of.”Leslie

23、worries that the rise of theInternet,among other social and technological changes,has reduced our appetite for aimless adventures.No longer have we the inclination to let ourselves wander through fields of knowledge,ready to be surprised.Instead,we seek only the information we want.F)Why is this a p

24、roblem?Because without curiosity we will lose the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.We will see unimaginative governments and dying corporations make disastrous decisions.We will lose a vital part of what has made humanity as a whole so successful as a species.G)Leslie presents considerable

25、evidence for the proposition that the society as a whole is growing less curious.In the U.S.and Europe,for example,the rise of the Internet has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the reader s borders.But not everything is to beblamed on technology.The decline in interest in literary

26、 fiction is also one of the causes identified by Leslie.Reading literary fiction,he says,makes us more curious.H)Moreover,in order to be curious,“you have to be aware of a gap in your knowledge in the first place.”Although Leslie perhaps paints a bit broadly in contending that most of us areunaware

27、of how much we don t know,he s surely right to point out that the problem is growing:“Google can give us the powerful illusion that all questions have definite answers.”I)Indeed,Google，for which Leslie expresses admiration,is also his frequent whipping boy (替罪羊）.He quotes Google co-founder Larry Pag

28、e to the effect that the“perfect search engine”will“understand exactly what I mean and give me back exactly what I want.”Elsewhere in the book,Leslie writes:“Google aims to save you from the thirst of curiosityaltogether.”J)Somewhat nostalgically(怀旧地），he quotes John Maynard Keynes s justly famous wo

38、,is often conducted in a way that makes children incurious.Children of educated and upper-middle-class parents turn out to be far more curious,even at early ages,than children of working class and lower class families.That lack of curiosity produces a relative lack of knowledge,and the lack of knowl
