Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter
Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild
Robothavetobesosad?”Hetearfullyaskedme.
The storyisset ona remoteisland,wherearobotnamedRozlearns tosurviveandcommunicatewith
the island’s creatures, andbecomes part of the community.For myson, itwas the first book hediscovered
onhisown;thefirsttoimpacthimwiththemixoftragedy(悲剧)andjoy.
When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how
Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz
leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had
cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I
triedtoexplainhowsadnesscanenhancethemeaningofhappymoments,butfailedtofullyconvincehim.
Once our discussionended, Henryrequested to buyThe Wild RobotEscapes and instantlyfell in love
with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a
copyofTheWildRobotProtects.
We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the
poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas — not just
happinessandsadness,butalso,giventheclimate-changeundercurrents,hopeanddespair.
And, here’s somethingspecial aboutRoz: herphysical clumsiness andconfusion about life,conveyed
through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a
strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn
alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to
appreciatethat,sometimes,sadnessisn’tabadthingtofeel.

“Why does grandpahave earhair?” Just a few years ago mychild was so curious to know“why” and
“how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader,
she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I
havedoneeverythingIcantopromotealoveoflearninginmychildren.WheredidIgowrong?
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity —
defined as “spontaneous(自发的) investigation andeagerness for new information”— drops dramatically
inchildrenbythefourthgrade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the
development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a
journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through
thedrop-offinwonderthatoftenoccurs,tothetrapoflifeinasocietythatdevalueswonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal
mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the
others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions,
particularly those about “why” and “how,” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be
usedtohelptheirday-to-dayreasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In
thebook,Wonder,Keilshowsthatwecansupportchildren’s ongoingwonderbyplayinggameswiththem
aspartners,encouragingquestion-asking,andfocusingontheirabilitiestoreasonandconclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable
positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by
proposingafutureformychildrenthatwillremainwonder-full.

Feynman Technique. It involves explaining what you’re learning to others. By teaching what you’ve
learned from memory, you engage in active recall. 16 It also ensures that you understand the topic,
because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it. The technique consists of four repeatable
steps.
To begin, choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand. 17 The more interested you
are, the faster you’ll grasp it. Moreover, a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and
engaged.
18 Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old. If you’d rather
avoid actually teaching someone, you can just teach it to an imaginary audience. But it works much better
ifyouusearealperson.They’llbeabletoletyouknowwhensomethingisn’tclear.
While teaching you may discover gaps in your understanding. 19 Review your notes, reread
books, or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving
forward.
Now that you fully grasp the concept, test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person.

The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn. 20 You need to

AnUnforgettableActivityinHighSchool
My high school has witnessed many colorful activities in the past 3 years, among which the coming-of-age ceremony is
especiallyunforgettable.
Present at the ceremony were all we students from Grade 3, along with our parents and teachers. It kicked off with an
inspiring speech delivered by our president, which conveyed congratulations and anticipations about our future. Then came a
series of activities,ranging from expressing gratitude to our parents and teachers to making a promise of being responsible for
theadulthood.Thehighlightwaswhenwewalkedthroughthecoming-of-agegate.

To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract
more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her
hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our paper’s reputation. After some
discussion,Ashleyfinallygavein,“OK,let’strywithrealstories.”ThenIwenttogatherallthenecessaryinformationtowrite
anarticleaboutPerryandthepreciousmemorieswesharedovertheyears.
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated
discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the
fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their
storiesofhiminourpaper!Seeingthestory’ssuccess,Ashleycametomeandsaidsincerely,“Youareright!It’sagoodstory.”
Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the
powertotouchandconnect.
