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．

Nick is a knight(骑士). But he doesn’t like to ride and he doesn’t like to fight. Nick likes to read and write, and he likes to knit(编织).
One night, there was a knock at the door. “I need you to fight a dragon(龙)!” cried King Kareen.
“But I’m the wrong kind of knight!” said Nick. “I don’t like to fight.”
“Never mind! Hurry up!” cried the King.
“The dragon is in my bed!” said the King. Nick’s knees were knocking. He lifted the blanket(毯子) and saw a little dragon. “I’m freezing.” The dragon said.
Nick quickly started knitting. He knitted a coat, some long socks and some pants for the dragon. The dragon was glad. “Thank you!” he said and off he went.
“I think you’re the right kind of knight!” said the king.
