注意:词数80左右。
牛顿煮鸡蛋
有一次,牛顿在实验室里聚精会神地做实验,连吃饭的时间也忘了。他的助手便拿了几个鸡蛋,送到实验室去,对牛顿说:“这里有几个鸡蛋,你自己煮来吃吧。”牛顿说:“好,谢谢你,请你把鸡蛋放在那里吧。”说完,他又埋头做实验。 过了很长的时间,牛顿的肚子饿了,才想起还没吃午餐。于是,他随手拿了一个小锅,把鸡蛋放在锅里,往炉子上一放,又开始做起实验来。 过了半个小时,牛顿做完了实验。这时,他才想起锅里的鸡蛋。他打开锅盖一看,里面没有蛋,只有一个怀表。助手回来后大吃一惊,抬头一看,鸡蛋还在桌子上,可是桌上的怀表却不见了。原来牛顿太过专心做实验,结果把怀表当成鸡蛋来煮。

连句成篇
Isaac Newton is the greatest and most gifted scientist ever. Newton was very attentive when he was engaged in scientific research and often forgot the little things in daily life.
Once, when an assistant who cooked for Newton wanted to go out, he asked Newton to cook the eggs himself. However, when the assistant came back, he found a pocket watch was actually cooked in the pot, but the eggs were still in place. It turned out that Newton was absorbed in his calculation and threw the pocket watch into the pot.
From the story we can see that to be a scientist, you not only need a clever mind, but also you should pay full attention to what you are doing. If you want to achieve something, you ought to focus on it and be determined until you have made it.
