【解析】

试题分析：本文主要介绍了牛顿沉浸于思考中，结果把自己的手表当做鸡蛋煮了，还不知道的故事。

1.根据but when he was thinking hard about his work, he often forgot other things.及下文描述，可知他有时粗心大意，故本句描述错误。

2.根据He was still thinking it hard when it was time for breakfast . Mary brought a pan (平底锅)of water and an egg to his room.可知玛丽带来一锅水，故本句描述错误。

3.根据“You can put the egg on the table. I’ll boil(煮)it myself.”及下文描述，可知牛顿要自己来煮鸡蛋，故本句描述错误。

4.根据最后一段He put the watch in the pan and was boiling it!描述，可知本句描述正确。

5.联系上文描述，可知牛顿认为锅里面煮的是鸡蛋，故本句描述正确。
