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

thinking?

Isaac Newton was seating in his garden on a summer evening 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 earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.

A boy named James Walt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam（蒸汽）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 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（发条）? He soon found he could make it with whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time.

His motto was“ I will think of it.he made” Andhisthought useful to himself and the world.

In many countries, tattoos are in fashion (时尚). On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot. Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos

are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people

like doctor, teachers and lawyers.

However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists （考古学家） found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his

back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were“ beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative（消极的） and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious (宗教的).

In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs

and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in

Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’ s history, their island or their job.

So is there a connection （联系）between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos？And can you call tattoos a fashion？Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks
