Every student wants to study well．But studying requires right ways，or you waste both time and money．The following are the ways of studying．

    We should preview（预习）the lesson．Then you can get ready for the new lesson．

    The best time for reading is morning，because in the morning，the air is fresh and the mind is clear．For that reason，you can read effectively（有效地）：

In studying we must have patience（耐心）．If we have not known a text well, we must read it again．We should not read the next one until we have learned．the first one．

    When we are studying，we must put our hearts into the book，or we can get nothing from the book．

    We must always ask ”whys”．If it is not well understood， you can ask our teachers，our parents or friends．In any possible way，we must know it correctly．

We should review the lessons every day，and sum up（总结）what we have learned．

We should use the knowledge we have foamed．If you want to know how to swim，you must get into the fiver．And ff you want to be a basketball player, you must play basketball．Using it means you can master it completely．

Though there are many ways of studying，the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in mind and do so．

The water tap was leaking(漏水) again, and the noise was driving Cassie crazy. Cassie looked at her watch. It was nearly nine o’clock. She climbed out of bed and stood on a chair by the shelf. Her mother’s Mr. Fix-It Book was on the top shelf. Cassie stepped down quietly. She read the book quickly until she found the page she was looking for, and then began to read carefully.

Next, Cassie opened a box in the kitchen and picked out the tools she needed--- a hammer, a wrench, and several small things. It was so easy job for her to do the repair, and she tried several times. Finally, the water tap was in pieces. One by one, she carefully laid them out on the table. That way she would know how they went back. While this was going on, her cat walked over to watch what she was doing.

Cassie worked late into the night. At one point, she thought she was done. Oops! A small piece that she had forgotten still lay on the table. Slowly Cassie took the water tap apart(分开) one more time. This time she made sure everything was in place. She turned the water tap on and then off. One…two…three… She waited a full minute. There was no leak! Cassie smiled and put the tools back into the box. Then she went back into bed.

The next morning, Dad was in the kitchen when Cassie got up.

“Notice anything, Dad?” she asked.

He looked around and listened. “Hmm, something’s missing… I can’t find out what it is… Wait, it’s too quiet in here!”

“That’s right,” Cassie said. ‘Something is missing. I fixed the water tap. It doesn’t leak any more.”

“That’s my girl,” Dad said. “It’s a good thing you are really like your mother.”
