Malnutrition (營養(yǎng)不良) remains a serious problem for Indians. But a new study shows that Indians’ leading causes of death now also include obesity-related (和肥胖有關的) diseases such as heart disease and more than 20% of Indians living in cities are overweight. A professor says, “Eating is the most important thing in any Indian family and how you show your love and thanks for a person is through the kind of food you serve him. And the kind of sedentary (久坐不動的) lifestyle that we lead is one of the reasons why the number of overweight people in India is on the increase.” Genetics (遺傳) may play a part. Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans.

Doctor Misra is a director of diabetes. He said obesity and diabetes were limited to India’s rich people. But now the poorest are also getting heavier. “Many people used to be thin. The other side of the picture was many people were fat and some of these belonged to the poorest section in India.” He says. Doctor Misra hopes the spread of obesity can slow down. And he says it must start from the schools by giving all Indian children the same instructions on physical activity and diet.

“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) 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.
