"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.” And he made his thought 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.

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
has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos because they are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent and for life.
6.What are tattoos?
A.纹身
B.装饰品
C.服装
7.When were tattoos brought to Europe
A. 5,000 years ago.
B. 60 years ago.
C. In the 16th and 17th century.
8. What does the underlined word “parlors” mean
A. School.
B. Stores.
C. Hospitals.
9. What’s the writer’s opinion about tattoos
A. Tattoos are religious in modern societies.
B. Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.
C. Tattoos are a fashion among famous people.
10. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Tattoos' History.
B. Tattoos in Polynesia.
C. Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.
