"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 （蒸汽机） 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 （钟表的主发条）？He soon found he could make it with whalebone （鲸骨）．He then made a wooden clock which kept good time．His motto （座右铭） was"I will think of it．"And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world．

On the fourth Sunday of every November，most Americans get together around the dinner table to celebrate Thanksgiving．Special traditions in the US have been around for many years．（1） These are four popular Thanksgiving traditions and how they started．
（2） The first Thanksgiving meal was in the autumn of 1621 when the first travelers from England celebrated their first harvest （收获）．But it wasn't made into an official （官方的）holiday until 1863．The first large meal had turkey，fruits and vegetables，which are still common today．
（3） Historians say the first travelers invited Native Americans （美洲印第安人）to the meal to thank them for teaching them how to grow food．Today at the large meal，friends and family will also say what they are most thankful for．
（4） The parade （游行）includes very large balloons that look like cartoon characters and beautiful floats （花车）that carry famous people．There are also many musical performances to watch．This parade started in 1924，and today over 44 million people watch it on TV or in New York City．
（5） People started to watch football on Thanksgiving a few years after the day
became an official holiday．Today，the National Football League takes advantage of this popularity and hosts three NFL games every Thanksgiving．
根据短文内容，从方框中选出五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整正确．
A．Giving thanks is what the holiday is all about．
B．American football is something people both watch and play with their family on Turkey Day．
C．However，some people don't always stop to think about where the traditions came from．

When we exercise hard，we burn fat （脂肪）．But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes？
Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air．Others think the body burns it．Some even joke that someone comes and takes it．That's why you always weigh less in the morning．
Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery．
"The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed out as CO2．It goes into thin air，"says the study．
Scientists followed the atoms （原子）in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost．They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2 through the lungs （肺）．The other weight，1.6 kilograms，becomes water and leaves the body．
"None of this is easy to understand because we can't see the CO2 we breathe out，said the study's lead expert．
Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more？It is not as easy as you think．Breathing more than the body's metabolic rate （新陈代谢速度）can make you uncomfortable．You may feel dizzy （眩晕的）and become unable to see，move or feel，according to the study．
So how can people lose weight healthily？The key is to eat less and move more．You may have heard this many times．During a day．a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2．So if the same person wants to lose weight，he or she can do some light exercise，for example，walking fast．This can help lose 24Og of CO2．
