阅读理解：

    One of the greatest Englishmen who ever lived was Sir Issac Newton．No man of that time, or of almost any time had a greater or wiser mind than he had, but Newton was very absent-minded about small matters when he was thinking about his work．One morning Newton got up very early because he was working on a very difficult problem．Newton was thinking about the problem so deeply that he would not leave it to go to breakfast．But his house-keeper thought he needed food so she sent Mary, a servant, to his study with a pan of water and an egg．She told her to boil the egg and stay with him until he ate it．But Newton wanted to be alone, and he said, “You can leave the egg with me, and I will boil it myself．” The servant put the egg on the table by the side of Newton’s watch and she said, “You must boil the egg for four minutes and then it will be ready,” then she left she said, “You must boil the egg for four minutes and then it will be ready,” then she left the room．The servant was afraid, however, that he might forget to boil the egg, so she returned about an hour late and found him standing by the fireplace（壁炉）．Newton had put the watch in the saucepan（长柄有盖的深平底锅）and was boiling it．He was holding the egg in his hand, quite unaware of the mistake that he was making．
