    School is very important for people to get knowledge. Many people go to      36     for education. The aim of students is to study better. But to study needs a right way, or you will     37     your time or money. Here is the advice about study.

School education is very important and useful, but no one can learn everything from school . A teacher, no matter   38     he knows, can't teach his students everything. His work is    39     his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school   40      the students themselves.

It's always    41     to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas(公式) by heart. It is quite    42     to learn some facts in history or a formula in math, but it is very difficult to use a formula to work out a math problem. Three great scientists: Newton, Edison and Einstein, didn't get everything from school. But they were all    43     . The reason for their success is that they know how to study. They learnt many knowledge by    44    . They  worked hard all their lives. The most important thing is that they know how to use their brains.

Though  there are many ways of studying, this one is quite enough   45      you can understand and use it.
