1．"I will think of it．"It is easy to say this，but do you know what great things have come from thinking？

Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree．He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell．Then he discovered how the sun，moon，and stars are kept in their places．

A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire，watching the lid of the kettle move up and down．He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid．From that time he went on thinking and thinking．And when he became a man，he improved the steam engine （蒸汽機(jī)） so much that it could easily do the work of many horses．

James Ferguson was a poor boy．Once，seeing the inside of a watch，he wondered．"Why should I not make a watch？"But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring （鐘表的主發(fā)條）？He soon found he could make it with whalebone （鯨骨）．He then made a wooden clock which kept good time．His motto （座右銘） was"I will think of it．"And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world．

Boys and girls，when you have a difficult lesson to learn，don't lose heart，and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves．Think，and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose．

2．We can't remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table．This happens a lot，especially when we eat out．Once a dish comes，instead of lifting our chopsticks，we take out our mobiles and click．Later，we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat，waiting to be"liked"．Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal，to see whether we get"liked"or not．We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal．

Does that sound familiar to you？Do you do that often？If not，how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you？

A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good．Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant．To test this，some researchers did an experiment．Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food．As a result，it showed that the more photos they took，．So，why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you？

Besides the scientific result，there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals．After posting the photos onto the Internet，one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times．"Does everyone like my photos？I hope a lot of people like them!"It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time，even when you are with real people．
