cat and export

I have a file named filelist. the content is a list of files including the path.

$ cat filelist
$curdir/test1
$curdir/test2

I want to cat each file in the list, such as cat $curdir/test1, cat $curdir/test2. (The $curdir has been exported).

it can't open the test1/test2, it can't change $curdir to /home/steven/curdir in script, but I can run it on command line.

313$ cat $curdir/test
dfsfdfdsdffsfest
314$ cat `head -1 filelist`
cat: cannot open $curdir/test
315$ head -1 filelist
$curdir/test
316$

how to export the $curdir, so that cat can get it?
