The aim of students who come to school is to study. But study requires (需要) a right way,or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.

The best time for reading is morning,because in the morning,the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason,we can get good results.

In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well,we must read it again. We should not read the next one till 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 while we are reading.

We must always ask “why”. If it is not well understood,write it down and ask our teachers or our parents,or friends. In any possible way,we must know it completely and what weVe learned can be used well and made better.

Though there are many ways for studying,yet the above mentioned (提到的) will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.(江苏南通)

The bank of England is making plans to introduce plastic banknotes to the UK.

Paper notes,meaning pieces of paper money,have been used in England for more than 300 years,but replacing them with plastic ones could be better.

Plastic notes were first introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then other countries,including Romania,Vietnam,Mexico and Malaysia,have also begun using money made in this way.

Fans of water sports,such as surfing,find this type of money more useful and easier,as they can take it with them in the water and won't worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people who by mistake put clothes in the washing machine with a note in the pocket!

It is more hygienic (clean and free of bacteria) than paper money as it absorbs less bacteriaCthe simplest and smallest form of plants,some of which cause disease) . And it is stronger. This means it lasts longer. According to a survey,a usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months,while the $ 5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months.

A downside of plastic cash is that it costs more money to produce. Cash and money-counting machines will also have to be adapted to accept the new money.

It is expected that the Bank of England,who hopes to start printing plastic notes from 2015,will introduce the money slowly,using the most common notes first.(江苏省连云港市 2013 年中考)

() 11. You can put the sentence “Besides being waterproof,there are other good effects of using plastic notes instead of paper ones. ” at the beginning of .
