B
We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.
Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically(讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers' clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.
We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.
I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so clearly decades later?
In his recent book Awe : The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do”. Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”
Moving forward, let's do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum(课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.

【解析】A项意为“对音乐的深刻理解”；B项意为“对探索的强烈热情”；C项意为“对世界的消极态度”；D项意为“与社会的联系感”。根据定位句可知，作者刚开始对Andean乐队的表演持怀疑态度；再结合第三段第二、三句可知，当精彩的表演“照亮”舞台，大厅里充满了音乐时，作者也带着真诚的喜悦(之心)跟着舞动起来。由此可推知，画线词所在句指的是作者少年时代对世界的消极态度消失了。因此，画线词指对世界的消极态度。故选C。
