Open index.php and put in this code:
$query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 10");
while ($thread = $db->fetch_array($query))
{
/* have it evaluate a template here and have the variable name to call it be $recenttopics making sure it is a .= instead of =*/
}

Then put whatever you want for a template for them. Use {$thread['fieldname']} to grab that field.
